![]() ![]() Experience has shown me that we aspire toward ambitions where we have some innate talent to achieve. Too often though we set our sights too low, aiming only for what we think we have a good chance at achieving, rather than what really lights us up. We have to think bigger before we can be bigger. Don’t sell yourself short by second-guessing the value you bring or doubting your ability to lead yourself and others to greater heights of success. That means, that there are things you can do that no one else can…. The truth is that no one on this planet has the same combination of talent, skill, passion, and personal and professional experience as you do. Nor will people fully value your skill, expertise, time and potential, unless you do. Likewise, no one will see you as a leader until you see yourself as one. Below are seven acts of courage for women.Īll leadership begins from within and extends outward. It takes courage to question the beliefs that have guided our choices and limited our horizons, challenge the status quo in our world, and dare to become more not less. However I truly believe that the biggest hurdles we women face exist inside our own heads – our fears of failing, our aversion to risk and our tendency to underestimate our ability to handle it. There are still many external hurdles we women have to scale to climb higher our careers, and contribute the full quota of gender diversity to the top level decisions. It must be coupled with a shift in female mindset one that has far more women seeing themselves not only as deserving of equal power as men but as capable of handling the pressure & responsibility that comes with it without reneging on family commitments. But on its own, it’s insufficient to ensure that women contribute their full quota of value and are valued fully for it. ![]() The growing awareness of the contribution women bring to the business in terms of their bottom-line and within the broader economy, has seen a shift in the focus by policy makers and industry leaders alike. However we also know that there are still far too few women sitting at the most senior decision making tables and that until there are more, not only will our organizations and institutions fail to benefit from the value women bring, but so too will the global web of communities they impact. Needless to say, women who reach the highest levels of power have proven themselves time and time again at being incredibly effective at influencing change and delivering results. ![]() We are good listeners, naturally perceptive, highly compassionate and wonderful bridge builders. The crowd so loud you can’t hear yourself think. Doing it for all the players who wore the uniform before you. 9,000 fans for a school with 800 students. The feeling inside when you lay someone out. And that’s exactly why we take you further. But the few close enough to get under your skin. We give you our best to get the best from you. ![]() Get you up before the alarm and out sweating. When you’ve believed in every single man around you and dug deep into the reserves of your soul, you can look each other in the eye and know your crown may have been taken away but not without a fight. When you’ve made every bone-crunching tackle and every grinding scrum count. ![]()
