ClearEdge

Last week the ClearEdge Rising team sat down with some of the co-authors of #TogetherWeRise for a special event in honor of #WomensHistoryMonth. They shared their experiences with the habits that have held them back in their careers as outlined in "How Women Rise" and shared exactly what they’ve done to break them for good. ?? Kelly Boykin shared how she learned that being indispensable isn’t the same as being promotable. When she started investing in taking credit for her work and being a part of cross-functional projects, she unlocked new opportunities. ?? Kendra Cato tackled how she is working on overcoming her perfectionism by shifting from “perfect output” to “impactful outcome.” By letting go of perfectionism, she saw stronger results, smarter delegation, and a decrease in decision paralysis. ?? Anna Frazzetto shared her rule for breaking out of the rumination cycle - the 5-5-5 rule. Ask yourself, "Will this matter in 5 days, 5 months, or 5 years?" The answer to that will help you prioritize what's really worth your focus. ?? Ericka Hyson really struggled with talking about herself publicly, but she knew that she needed to start sharing her achievements in order to grow. When she stopped waiting for others to recognize her work and found her voice, she became her own best champion. ?? Lauren B. Jones ?? spent too much time tamping down her personality and style to fit what other people wanted. So when someone told her she was "too much" she took it as a challenge and reclaimed her bold, colorful, optimistic self. Now? “If I’m too much, go find less.” But it's not just the learnings that we walk away with after these events. A community coming together to learn, engage, and support each other is such a bright spot in our days and we can't wait for the next one! Take a look below at what some of the attendees had to say about our speakers and share the love by tagging a mentor in your life who has helped you become who you are. After all, we get stronger when we rely on each other. Here's to our community ??

Our fearless CEO and Founder, Leslie Vickrey, has been named to Inc. Magazine's #FemaleFounders500 list! This list highlights female founders who demonstrate both the grit and poise necessary to continually take their companies to the next level. Every year it receives thousands of submissions from founders across the U.S. and looks at what they and their companies have achieved in the last year. Ultimately, it honors only the best of the best companies and founders. As a leader, Leslie co-authored Together We Rise, which has helped fund over 10 scholarships for women in leadership. She was named to Staffing Industry Analysts's 2024 DE&I Influencer list thanks to her work with ClearEdge Rising, the Women of Color in Staffing and ClearEdge scholarship program, and Women in Staffing networking calls. She is a judge for the American Staffing Association Scholarship program and a Women Business Collaborative ambassador. She is a thought leader and speaker for the staffing and marketing industries, all while being a working mom. While the whole ClearEdge team knows the impact Leslie has as our founder, this award is a reminder of how long-lasting and far-reaching her influence is. Congratulations, Leslie! We’re so proud to be your team!

In honor of Black History Month, our team nominated several non-profit organizations whose mission and programs directly relate to Black history, culture, or empowerment that we could support through a monetary donation. While all were incredibly deserving, the team selected Black Mamas Matter Alliance (BMMA). ?? This incredible organization is dedicated to serving as a national voice and coordinating entity for stakeholders advancing maternal health, rights, and justice. They do this by providing technical assistance, training, and capacity building for grassroots organizations, maternity care service providers, academia, and the public health industry. We can't wait to see and support the valuable work they do this year and beyond! Learn more about BMMA at the link below ??
