Are You Honoring Women Beyond Mather's Day

Recognizing women on Mother's Day is not enough!

It can offend women if they are not respected, supported, and recognized, especially beyond the mother's role. It calls for much more significant change on multiple levels: personally and professionally.

If we stop dancing around the big elephant in the room and do something meaningful and impactful, everyone wins. Why and how, you may be wondering.

Your value will be not what you know; it will be what you share. ~?Ginni Rometty

The need for more female leaders has never been more essential in a wide range of roles in business and beyond. And as we already know, there is a never-ending plethora of data supporting this claim.

Let's zoom in on the?Fortune 500 ?companies. Today, women CEOs make up only 6.4% of the Fortune 500 list in The USA. What? The fact that companies that have a higher representation of women on their boards notably outperform the organization that doesn't. Significant incentive to make a change!

Lean in, speak out, have a voice in your organization, and never use the word, ‘sorry’.?~ Trish Bertuzzi

Statistically, companies with greater gender diversity, beyond their workforce, such as senior leadership, are significantly more profitable than those without. Do we need to say more? Sadly, yes! Not much is happening to foster the much-needed change despite calls for greater gender equality, the gender wage gap enhancement, and increased women's representation in leadership roles.

Women leaders have a critical measurable impact on an organization’s bottom line. When women lead, they provide different skills, perspectives, and structural and cultural differences that drive effective solutions through a new sense of awareness.

You will be defined not just by what you achieve, but by how you survive. ~ Sheryl Sandberg

Here are some of the valuable contributions by women leaders to consider:

Unique Transformational Ideas -?Women leaders demonstrate more transformational ways of thinking, leading, and managing.

Bold and Wise Decisions -?This helps make the team environment less authoritative and more cooperative, bringing a family-like feel to the team. By boosting teamwork across the organization, it helps implement a culture of collaboration.

Teamwork Enhancement -?Women leaders demonstrate passion, enthusiasm, and a capability to take command of a situation when needed. Just think about our mothers and our siblings.?

Superior Leadership Values -?Countless surveys, analytics, and statistics show women as more compassionate, outgoing, and creative.

Communication Enhancement -?A well-known one of the most vital skills amongst women is enhanced meaningful conversations with employers, co-workers, and partners, with a greater sense of clarity.

Better Financial Results -?When we have a more diverse workplace, gender diversity helps increase productivity, creativity, performance, staff retention, and collaboration.

New Outlooks & Perspectives -?The critical contributors to fostering much-needed innovation, transformation, and change within the teams and organizations demonstrated skills, different perspectives, innovative ideas, and better decision-making.

Provide Better Mentorship -?As younger generations need more than ever, great role models will guide them to progress in their careers. Simply put, women leaders are known to be better mentors.

Ability To Wear Many Hats -?In a women’s life, wearing different hats within their roles is often a common occurrence. They are balancing their careers, households, parental guidance, and many other demands while finding solutions to real-life and work issues.

Opportunity To Close The Gender Pay Gap -?Having more women in leadership roles can contribute to a much-needed transformation beyond the gender opportunity gap by achieving a broader goal - the gender pay gap.?

The best way to celebrate and honor women is through changed behavior.

Kudos to all exceptional leaders that are leading transformational efforts in their organizations by creating more gender equality and representation.

Nothing speaks volumes as a successful, confident, growth-minded supportive woman of the other women in business and life.
