Mom Mastermind

35% of women have declined or delayed a promotion due to personal or family obligations. This stat frustrates me. I know the data is accurate because I hear this regularly. It pinpoints the "suffer in silence" that I see much of. Recently, I discussed working motherhood on a panel. When asked if I ever sidestepped my career in order to juggle better, my response was, "Absolutely not." I chose to pursue both paths fiercely, doing it my own way. While my choice may not suit everyone, it emphasizes the importance of having the freedom to choose the path.

This work?sets my soul on fire.??? Helping women leaders—especially moms—advance their careers while showing up?the way?they?want?at home. Nothing more fulfilling. One conversation at a time, we’re rewriting the script. No more choosing between success and presence. No more outdated expectations. Just empowered women leading in a way that works?for them. Are you doing the thing you were made for? Do you hop out of bed in the morning filled with excitement? Do the days fly by, never enough time for all you wish to accomplish? Even the hard conversations fuel me. Every session, every story, every breakthrough leaves me inspired. And the organizations that invest in these women? They get it. They see the impact. And that inspires me even more. What work sets?your?soul on fire????

I was scrolling last weekend and paused on a clip of a Tom Hanks interview. He was talking about the pivotal advice he received from a director early in his career. The cast had been running lines and the director stopped and yelled at the crew to take a break. Frustrated, he demanded this of the actors when they returned: 1?? Show up on time - This means more than managing the clock, it means planning ahead, and being respectful of others. 2?? Know the text - In business this means more than knowing your material, it means knowing the context too. 3?? HAVE AN IDEA - I love this one! And I wish I'd been given this encouragement and expectation right away in my career. Do the work, be prepared, think forward, have an idea, and share that idea. This is great advice for all of us, especially young careerists.

This one stopped me in my tracks. How often do we get stuck in the loop of planning, questioning, and second-guessing—waiting for the “perfect” moment? ??♀? But here’s the truth: indecision is a decision. And more often than not, the cost of standing still is greater than the risk of moving forward. ?? Where is it time to stop hesitating, trust your gut, and take the leap? ?? #Leadership #DecisionMaking #Growth #TakeTheLeap Visual credit: B2B Revenue Leadership Show

You’ve checked all the boxes. Or have you? ? You set the strategy. ? You engaged the team. ? You assigned accountability. You’re confident everyone understands the mission. But do they have the skills to execute it? Great leaders don’t just set the vision—they ensure their people are equipped to achieve it. Development isn’t a “nice to have”; it’s a necessity for success. Who on your team needs investment to rise to the occasion? Leadership isn’t just about direction—it’s about?development.?Who will you pour into today?

Anyone else feel like they're running a homeschool this January? Between days off and sick days, I think my kids have been home more than they've been at school! I'm juggling their needs (and lunches!) along with new year proposals, tons of events and Q1 goals. Here's the thing: It's a short window. This flu season of 2025 will be over before we know it. And, frankly, the years of caring for sick kids are numbered too. When your team members are facing this struggle, give a little grace. With open communication, clear expectations, and a ton of grit, they'll rise to the occasion. Moms always do. #workingmoms #womeninleadership #professionaldevelopment
