In May of 2018, I delivered a session: Fast-Track Your Leadership Career at Women Transforming Technology conference powered by VMware where I share my template for success. The session was sold out! As I was walking down the podium, a few women leaders asked me if I had a book - the session was so powerful that they wanted more. I said - Not yet but I will have one soon. That one moment led to me authoring Fast-Track Your Leadership Career which became an Amazon #1 best seller within 11 hrs of its release, which then led to the eWOW ℠ initiative empowering leaders globally, a series of awards, recognitions, and a strong #ewowfamily! We wait for big moments in life. But the reality is that when big life changing moments happen, in those moments we don't know that they are life changing moments. It is only after some time, sometimes after years that we realize the impact of those moments. 💯 I often tell leaders - Each moment has the potential to be life changing - it all depends on your mindset, toolset, and skillset!

ATTENTION: Executives in male-dominated industries. Are you utilizing your greatest asset? It's not just your tech, your productivity, or your value prop that will set you apart. It's your team. Namely, your female leaders. Your female leaders' platforms are an opportunity for growth. Elevating and celebrating your leaders will super-boost your pipeline. Elevate and celebrate the people behind your organization—the people that folks ultimately do business with. This strategy, paired with intentional messaging will drive business outcomes. Take it from our client Chrissy McGarry, COO of Second Front Systems. Candidates, partners, and vendors have caught on to the elevation of Chrissy's brand as well as that of their newly appointed CEO, Tyler Sweatt. This work has not only externally garnered business opportunities and international recognition for Second Front, but it's allowed the C-Suite to connect even deeper with their rapidly growing team internally. Listen to the full episode in the link below. Major kudos to the Second Front team for not only doing this work, but believing in the power of this work. #personalbrand #thoughtleadership
