It was so fun to do a Q&A with Women in Retail Leadership Circle and to talk a bit about career and experiences. We talked about leadership values, confidence and creating boundaries. Sometimes, as women it can be a big challenge to maintain a work/life balance and we can sometimes struggle with the confidence to feel like we belong in the room. I'm always looking for new tips and would love to poll my connections: -What practices or boundaries have you implemented in your personal life to create more work/life balance? -What advice would all of you give to the next generation of female leaders? Such a great organization to get to be a part of. Women supporting and teaching each other. https://lnkd.in/gzHF5WQs

Yesterday we had the pleasure of having Nadia Lee speak during our Women in Leadership EmpowHER call. I wanted to share a bit about this great presentation! Nadia spoke on boosting time managment, here is a bit of what she said: "So I think most of us have a lot of control of our schedule. So the tip here is try to make sure you're most important work is where you need vigilance you need to make decisions and analyze things push that into the peak of your day. Put your second most important work into that rebound period or the creative work into the rebound period and what are you to do. Don't let mundane tasks creep into your peak. So that means when you're at your peak, don't do things like, copy and pasta data from spreadsheet to spreedsheet. That's totally mindless for when you're crashing into your kind of your afternoon slide." - Nadia Lee Thank you Nadia Lee!!!

🌐 Elevating the sense of belonging for everyone in the workplace ultimately rests on the shoulders of managers. They play a pivotal role in cultivating a company culture where individuals are not just present but truly seen, heard, and valued. 👉🏼 As highlighted in the insightful article, "Overcoming Today’s DEI Leadership Challenges" by Ania G. Wieckowski, featuring an interview with former VICE Media Chief People Officer, Daisy Auger-Domínguez, it's evident that many managers may lack essential training in foundational aspects like effective feedback delivery and the art of asking meaningful questions. ✍🏽 The article suggests that DEI work can persist even during budget-tightening, as long as it's deeply ingrained in the organization's culture and processes. Success lies in leaders' unwavering commitment to maintaining that focus. 🗣"When every step of the employee journey is seen from the prism of equity and inclusion, DEI can’t be cut — because it’s how you hire and engage all of your people, and how you build the great culture that you tell the world you have." said Daisy Auger-Domínguez. 👀 Read the full article via the following link. #LeadershipDevelopment #DEI #WorkplaceCulture #ManagementSkills #InclusionMatters #OrganizationalCulture

If you’ve been in this game for a long time, you’ll recognize that name changes are common. As the article mentioned, DEI has only been the “name du jour” since 2020. When I started this work in the early 90s, it was racial equity. It was and will always be about equity, regardless of what you call it. Diversity and inclusion are a by product of equity. I told someone recently my work has always focused on organizational and leadership development with an equity lens. That will not change even as we rebrand the name of our company to The Perry Group. Let’s keep doing the work and moving the needle steadily to get results. #racialequity #corporategovernance #organizAtionaldevelopment #leadershipdevelopment https://lnkd.in/effhKbwi

We're closing out Women's History Month by shining a spotlight on CP Skin Health's US Head of Professional Sales, Annie Diaz. When asked what advice she'd give to other aspiring leaders, she shared three tips: 1. Seek Opportunities for Visibility: Don't shy away from opportunities to showcase your talents and expertise. Volunteer for leadership roles, participate in professional development programs, and speak up in meetings. Visibility is essential for advancement. 2. Advocate for Yourself: Don't wait for others to recognize your potential. Advocate for yourself, express your career goals, and be proactive in seeking out advancement opportunities. Be assertive in negotiating for fair compensation and recognition. 3. Learn from Setbacks: Failure is a natural part of the leadership journey. Instead of letting setbacks discourage you, use them as learning experiences. Reflect on what went wrong, adapt, and move forward with renewed determination. Thanks for all you do, Annie! And here’s to strong women everywhere.
