You Must Be Able To Articulate To Define Your Brand!
It has been my pleasure to review four books twice a year for the Read To Succeed section of the Jackson Business Journal. I strive to select books that align with the topic of the issue. This quarter's topic was Women In Business.
As I read these books it occurred to me that I have been in the presence of some very influential women that know how to properly articulate their topic to gain audience attention by accentuating their position.
Young-Accomplished-Articulate
Kristen Hadeed was the keynote speaker this year's West TN Healthcare's Employer Wellness Forum at Union University. She had the audience captivated with the story of her life, business, and subsequent success once she learned how not to fear failure but to embrace it as a challenge and learn from it.
There was a diverse representation in the audience from all generations and I think we were impressed at how this young lady could successfully run a business staffed by Millennials and a transitory client base. I bought her book!
Kristen's major was finance but her business venture was real and much more lucrative than she imagined. Success stories don't just happen they require hard work and determination. Women are taking advantage of opportunity like never before by learning how to communicate their ideas and articulate to others the how and why it can be done.
Thankful for the strength and capability of these women to get things done in education.
Women making a difference promoting their ideas and articulating their agenda!
Lindsay Frilling did an exceptional job of conveying the plan for Obion, Weakley, and Lake counties as a College Completion Community at Nashville State. Dr. Allana Hamilton has done an incredible job in her short time as president of Jackson State Community College.
Krissy Dealejandro has done an amazing job of promoting the benefits of tnAchieves all throughout the state of Tennessee. If you attend a meeting she officiates there is no question that Tennessee Promise is working.
Kaci Murley with Complete Tennessee can take over a room without a microphone. She speaks with passion and authority so the audience will want to hear what she has to say!
Today, there are approximately 72 million women in the American workforce. That’s 30 million more than there were in 1984. They make up 46.9% of the labor force.
These women along with many others play vital roles as to why Tennessee is leading the nation in innovation in education. I have been very fortunate to have had an opportunity to meet each one of these incredible women and look forward to what they will achieve in the future!
