Shattering Myths, Elevating Voices! Congratulations to all the incredible women leaders who took the stage at #SXSW for the panel “Executive Moms: On Shattering Old & Outdated Workplace Myths," including Rebecca Coleman, Heather Cutter, Marly Ellis, and Emerald's Ren Akinci This powerful discussion explored how the skills honed through parenting - empathy, time management, adaptability, and problem-solving - are invaluable for career growth, not setbacks. As Ren expressed so thoughtfully: "Don't doubt yourself—you are your superpower. Use it. To all the leaders and mom allies in the room, help us dismantle the myth that motherhood is a career break or a hard choice between work and family. The workplace needs to evolve, and advocacy is the key to making it happen." #ExecutiveMoms #Leadership #WomenInBusiness #SXSW #Emerald

Celebrating Women’s Leadership & Mentorship In recognition of International Women’s Day, we’re proud to amplify Karalynn Sprouse, EVP at Emerald, and her recent feature in Trade Show Executive magazine Power Women series, where she connected with industry leaders to discuss leadership and gender equality in exhibitions. Reflecting on her journey, Karalynn shared: "When I first started, women were underrepresented in senior roles. Over the past decade, we’ve seen real progress—today, women hold over 50% of these leadership positions at Emerald. This change didn’t happen by chance; it’s the result of advocacy, mentorship, and intentional action." Special Shout-Out: "In honor of Women's History Month, I want to recognize Liz Gaier, an incredible mentor who has guided me since I was 22. She took the time to coach me through presentations, meetings, and career decisions, always offering honest and invaluable feedback. She has been a constant in my network, helping me grow both personally and professionally." Today, we celebrate the women driving change, lifting others up, and shaping the future. Who has inspired you? https://lnkd.in/e2SM8vR7 #InternationalWomensDay #IWD #Emerald #WomenInLeadership #Mentorship #WomensHistoryMonth
