The Women's Impact Alliance

My friend Suken Jain hosts a podcast dedicated to practical and purposeful leadership. It was a delight to be in conversation with him about ways to foster strong relationships and build healthier teams. One simple, transformative, practice you can put into place immediately to boost connection... ?? START every meeting with a "what's working?" question ?? What's working... ...on this team? ...with this project? ...in these meetings? ...this week? ...today? ...between the two of us? The result? ? Builds connection ? Reminds us of our progress ? Grounds us in our strengths ? Makes dull meetings shiny ? Boosts creativity before diving into problem solving It takes some intention and attention but it makes all the difference in the teams I work with. Search The Sync Leadership Lab on Spotify or Apple Podcast to check out the pod. Thanks for having me Suken!

Today on International Women's Entrepreneurship Day, and everyday, we celebrate the remarkable women whose visions redefine industries, uplift communities, and drive lasting impact. Their leadership reminds us of the boundless potential of women entrepreneurs and that when women thrive, humanity thrives. “In order to truly help the world tackle existing challenges and problems, we definitely need men and women to be equally involved in the process. Not only because we need a diversity of opinions, but because our world needs help from all of us.” Wingee Sin, Global Program Director, Cartier Women's Initiative. #WomensEntrepreneurshipDay #CartierWomensInitiative #ForcesForGood #InternationalWomensEntrepreneurshipDay

Imposter syndrome is out. True confidence is in. It's widely believed that more women than men experience imposter syndrome, but HP’s new Work Relationship Index found that women are actually more confident than men in the workplace. In a survey of more than 15,600 workers across 12 countries, the study found that 52% of women leaders said they feel confident in their skills such as empathy, communication and self-awareness, compared to just 39% of men. When it comes to hard skills, 48% of women leaders feel confident in technical skills like computing, presenting and marketing while only 38% of male leaders reported the same. But how can we all improve our confidence even more? Lean into your strengths, find a mentor, create meaningful connections across your organization, and practice being an effective communicator.
