When was the last time someone held your hand as you figured it all out? As high achieving women, we’re often seen as the ones with all the answers. But the truth is, no one can achieve sustainable success alone. That’s why building a community of support is so powerful. In 2022, I attended a retreat that changed my life—not because of the strategies I learned, but because of the women I met. These women have supported me in ways I couldn’t have imagined, and they’ve become a vital part of my journey. In fact, some of us are authors in the best selling book “Awareness Put Me On” because of the connections made at that retreat. Now, I’m inviting other powerhouse women to join the Liberated Wealth Experience—a retreat designed to help you connect with like-minded women and create a wealth strategy that doesn’t just grow your bank account but also nurtures your spirit.

This #internationalwomensday I'm turning the spotlight on us - my fellow men in leadership. Dear men in leadership, are we part of the problem or the solution in women's #leadership journey? It's time for a heart-to-heart. As a man in a position of influence, I've had to ask myself some tough questions. For decades, women have been pushing against glass ceilings, navigating gender biases, and fighting for seats at the leadership table. But here's the thing: It's 2024, and we're still talking about "the first woman to..." milestones. It makes me wonder, are we, as men, doing enough to change the narrative? Or are we unintentionally holding the pen that continues to write a story of inequality? Let's talk about being allies. Real allies. Not just in words, but in actions. How do we move from passive supporters to active champions for women leading from the front? Here's where we can start: A. Listen More - Before we can be part of the solution, we need to understand the problem. And that starts by listening more. B. #empathy starts at home and drives behavioral #change - Create an ecosystem that you expect for your partner, sisters, and mothers at their respective workplaces. If you root for them at home, it is time you start rooting for your fellow women colleagues too. C. Challenge the Status Quo - It's comfortable to go with the flow, especially when the current system benefits you. But growth and change come from discomfort. D. #inspireinclusion - Ultimately, fostering a culture of respect and inclusivity where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute to their fullest potential is perhaps the most significant action an ally can take. E. Sponsorship - Mentoring is great, but sponsorship is where we see significant impact. Use your chivalry to open doors that matter, recommend them for projects and promotions, and ensure they get the visibility they deserve. F. Educate yourself and others - The journey of allyship is ongoing. It's about creating an environment where everyone, regardless of gender, can thrive. This conversation is just the beginning. I want to hear from my LinkedIn community- both men and women. 1. To the men: How can we better support our women colleagues? What actions have you seen make a real difference? 2. To the women: What do you need from us, your allies, to help you lead from the front? Let's use this space to share, learn, and grow together. Your thoughts, experiences, and suggestions are not just welcome—they're needed. Happy Women’s Day to all of us! #genderequality #allyship #iwd2024 #gratitude

To Coco Brown from Athena Alliance "the overarching goal of the organization is bigger than just helping women check off boxes on their professional bucket list; she wants to challenge them to understand their roles and abilities within the grand scheme of their industries, and to empower them to grow beyond any of their own self-imposed limitations." Yesterday I also mentioned the need to recognize one's self-limiting #mindsets or #beliefs: https://lnkd.in/gTNssB8w https://lnkd.in/grxjX2Bp

The DLC owes so much of its success to women! ??♀? Contrary to the common narrative that women in business are pitted against one another, I never personally experienced that. From the day of our inception, the DLC has been profoundly supported by women who either directly recommended and referred clients to us and/or offered insightful advice that shaped our strategic direction. Networking groups such as: The Athena Network, Female Fusion Network and Women In Business Network (WIBN) have been especially impactful in establishing a sense of community and support among business women. Virtually all of the networking events I attended were places where women could (and did!) freely share their experiences and challenges. The aim was always to learn from one another, share resources, and avoid the pitfalls they may have encountered along the way. But that is how, in my experience, most women view success in business. We show leadership by lifting each other as we climb! ??. Women often transform competition into collaboration, creating a supportive network where collective success is the goal. We do not usually aim for a solitary achievement but a shared journey of growth and empowerment! Has this been your experience also? Do you have a completely different perspective? I’d love to hear what you think in the comments?? #Law #Business #womeninbusiness #networking Sophie Fleming

?? PSA: Women with close female friends are more likely to land high-level jobs and make more money. ?? According to Harvard Business Review these connections can help women navigate unconscious biases and societal expectations that often hold women back from leadership roles. ?? By building a network of women who understand and have gone through similar experiences, you set yourself up to face these challenges with a strong support system. ?? Every connection, piece of advice, and shared story can be a stepping stone towards breaking the barriers. ?
