Heavy on the sass 😂

As the only child and first of seven grandchildren, I’ve always felt a sense of responsibility. I’m proud to be the first in my family to earn both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree, but even more meaningful is knowing that someone has always been watching—looking up to me. These two are the perfect example of that responsibility. I am not their mother, but the way I live my life influences the decisions they make in the present, and will continue to impact their future. I fully EMBRACE my role to give back, show up, and be present for them. This is how we create moments that matter—by showing up. How are you showing up in the moments that matter? #leadership #rolemodel #responsibility #family #mentorship #inspiration

Imagine standing on the edge of everything you've ever wanted—every dream, every goal, every desire, all within your reach. But there’s something holding you back. It’s that small voice inside that whispers, “Not yet. Maybe not ever.” But what if I told you that this voice is wrong? What if I told you that you already have the power, the potential, and the purpose to be great? That every doubt, every hesitation, is just a distraction from your true potential? Imagine being in a room filled with women who see you not for who you are now but for who you can become. Women who understand that sometimes all you need is a push—a nudge in the right direction to help you amplify everything you are, even when all you can see are the things you’re not. Would you believe it? Would you seize the opportunity? Would you prepare yourself for the leap that could change everything? If you’re ready to silence that voice of doubt and step boldly into the life you've been dreaming of, join us. This is your moment to rise, to claim your greatness, and to be surrounded by a community that will uplift you every step of the way. Are you ready to take the leap? Secure your spot now and let’s make those dreams a reality, together. https://lnkd.in/gbJqFiNs #Dallas #WomenEmpowerment #PersonalGrowth #TakeTheLeap #ConfidenceBoost #GoalSetting #DreamBig #ProfessionalWomen #MindsetShift #EmpowerHer #CareerGrowth #WomenInLeadership #SelfBelief #RiseTogether #OvercomeFear

I was asked to contribute to a post about what organizations can do to get more women into leadership roles. This question has traditionally been a pet peeve of mine because it is the organizational leadership in part that decides who gets selected into leadership roles. I’ve been part of and led many women in leadership programs, and while they are great for development purposes, we need to acknowledge that getting women into leadership roles is a two-sided problem that usually receives a one-sided solution. It's often approached from a single perspective that implies women aren’t promoted because they aren’t doing enough—not enough self-advocacy, not enough assertiveness, not enough ambition, not enough networking, not enough visibility, or not enough strategic thinking— while failing to educate leaders on recognizing and nurturing female talent. Organizations must be accountable for the fact that if they perpetuate a cycle where a predominantly white male C-suite continues to advance more white men, they will, by default, have little to no women in leadership roles. It's time to address both sides of the problem. #Leadership #WomenInLeadership #Diversity #Inclusion #Equality #GenderEquality #LeadershipDevelopment #WorkplaceDiversity #WomenInBusiness
