Edition No 113. Are you scared of this?
The WIE Suite
A membership community for women leaders and culture creators (we're hiring)
DEAR WOMEN WHO DO,
What scares you? Public speaking? Stepping from a non-profit board to a for profit one? A world that is not reflective of your community?We touch on all of these and more in the newsletter below.?
But, let us also add one more thought: often what scares us is going out alone. Loneliness or fear of it can be at the heart of so much of what drives other people. Which is why The WIE Suite exists. We’re providing you with the support and strategic insight to take the edge off the stresses and concerns that come with being a woman in leadership.
WIE SUITE WOMAN?
Gloria Calderón Kellett, Hollywood Powerhouse, on the State of Hollywood and Equitable Storytelling
Gloria Calderón Kellett is an award-winning writer, producer, director, actress and activist. She was an executive producer, co-creator, co-showrunner, director, and actress on the Emmy-winning sitcom “One Day at a Time”.
THIS YEAR YOU WERE VOCAL ABOUT THE NEED FOR EQUITABLE STORYTELLING. CAN YOU SHARE MORE ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS AND HOW OTHERS CAN SUPPORT THAT CALL?
It means that we should look at our population and try to make sure what we see on screen reflects what society actually looks like. Latinos are 19% of the population and less than 5% of the leading roles on our screens. That is not accurately reflecting society. We need to do better and we need people to talk about it, understand how important representation matters and to support it when it exists by watching, sharing on social media and showing up to the box office.

Transition from a non-profit board to a for-profit one.?
CAN YOU TRANSITION FROM NONPROFIT TO FOR-PROFIT? WHAT DOES IT TAKE?
The answer is “yes,” though it may take some time and effort, as Harry Kraemer points out. At smaller nonprofits, you’re likely to find yourself serving alongside of CEOS and executives of smaller companies and establishing relationships with those people will permit to broaden your reach if sitting on a for-profit board is one of your goals. Kraemer advises that you find your “niche” and lean into it. By niche he means finding out “what types of organizations align most with your values, passions, and career goals. You may be drawn to nonprofits with compelling missions or larger businesses with global operations. You may find that you fit best in certain company cultures—that could be well-established firms or trendy startups developing disruptive technologies.”?

There are four fears that are psychological hurdles or blockers that often create insecurity or lack of confidence for public speaking.

This is what people must overcome to be comfortable on stage.
