What executives can do to reach 50/50

We usually don't post about awards. It hasn't, historically, been our style. Instead, our team celebrates amongst ourselves. We call the client to give them the good news. A statuette is carefully placed on a shelf in our office. However, today marks a special exception. We're excited to share that not one, but two of our projects have been nominated for the Anthem Awards, a festival recognizing mission-driven work. These projects share a common thread: they are solutions-focused and elevate the voices of individuals and organizations we deeply believe in. And each project serves as a reminder of the privilege I have in working with the talented team at Cultivator Content Labs. Below are the links where you can watch and, if moved, vote for them in their respective categories, helping bring their powerful messages to a broader audience.

BoardProspects COO, Megan Wang was recently in conversation with Kenna Baudin and Amee Ricketts Mungo on getting on a corporate board as part of Worth Media Group's Groundbreaking Women Summit. We encourage you to watch the entire conversation and have shared a few of Megan’s takeaways below. Watch the entire conversation here: https://lnkd.in/ewsfYW3p 1. The journey to the boardroom is long & it is just as much an interview with you as it is for you with them - don’t underestimate the importance of finding a mutual fit. 2. Think about the intersection of: 1) your skills, 2) areas of interest / passion (ex. industry) and 3) gaps in oversight / guidance on the board. The nexus of these things is the sweet spot of understanding your value to that specific board - tailor your pitch accordingly. 3. Public vs private board service - it differs greatly and if you’re just beginning your journey to the boardroom, a private company board opportunity is an excellent first step. Think about how your experience might be uniquely valuable to whatever stage the company is at (Series A, B, C, pre-IPO) - and feel confident that the CEO will call you for guidance on those particular challenges.

So, we didn’t get a female president this election, but history was still made—our first-ever female Chief of Staff in the White House! This is a reminder of what’s possible for #womeninleadership, and it ties right into what we’re doing with our 2nd Annual Impact Awards. The #ImpactAwards celebrate entrepreneurs who go beyond business to make a real difference. Whether our past contestants won or not, they gained something bigger: learning the stories of their communities and seeing the impact their products made. This is about standing out by building relationships the right way—creating positive change across 12 critical areas. Each year, we support six companies that embody this spirit. So, if you’re ready to make an impact and lead with purpose, apply to the Impact Awards now: PulsePointPath.com/Awards Comment below with your game plan, and let’s make big moves together!

Dream Big! If there were no limits, what board would you serve on? We know women don’t apply for positions unless they know they meet 100% of the qualifications. How many boards are we turning away before we even see a position because we don’t think we are qualified? It is time to leave that type of thinking behind! Join our 6-week Corporate Board Readiness cohort starting April 12th to meet the board directors, experts, and senior executive women who will help you get that board seat. Board directors like Britt Ide, Millicent Tracey, Sue Harnett, Shelly Lombard, and Catherine Calarco will teach you how to target those dream boards and you’ll identify your path to board seats. Take the plunge and get that dream board. https://lnkd.in/gV6kTzHC

I have a hard time celebrating my wins. While I love to celebrate other's, it is really hard for me to truly take time to share and be comfy with accomplishments and wins without just jumping into the next goal. The women pictured here have challenged me, encouraged me, and celebrated me in a way that I didn't know I could find in a peer community. (This is us celebrating and dreaming BIG time in Italy last week.) Today we are nearing the end of the quarter, and heading into a new season, I want to pose a challenge to you. ?? Challenge (if you choose to accept it)?? Look at the past 30-90 days and choose 1 thing you are proud of. It can be anything from getting dressed every day, to landing a big client, to mending a relationship, to progress in therapy, to a promotion. ANYTHING you are proud of. Then, pick a way you are going to mark and commemorate this moment in time. I have heard SO many great ideas, free or splurge. From buying a piece of jewelry or art, to getting a tattoo, to going to a nice dinner, or toasting with friends, taking a day for yourself, putting a sticky note on your wall, etc.... Are you asking "WHY??? Why would I do this?" Science! Celebrating your wins, even small ones, is important because?it activates your brain's reward system, boosting motivation, confidence, and overall sense of well-being by releasing ? dopamine?, which can help you feel good about your progress and keep pushing towards larger goals! If you want to share below please do, and I will celebrate with you!!!

As founders it’s *far too* easy to breeze past achievements, always looking at the next big thing you want to achieve. But here’s the thing—every win counts, even the small, quiet ones. Each one represents a step forward, a lesson learned, a moment we showed up for ourselves. Imagine the impact we’d feel if we took just a little time to celebrate all of that? Because celebrating isn’t about slowing down; it actually fuels our tank and gives a pretty strong nod how far we’ve come. ??

Prepping slides for tomorrow, the first of a couple of sessions I’m running to catalyse the change we need to see as female founders. And not just to see… The change we need to BE. We need to embody this change. The tide is turning. I believe it starts here. With an experiment in building this new paradigm ?? If you’d like to join the movement, let me know.
