At Actuate, we celebrate the women who don’t just follow the rules – they change them. From breaking glass ceilings to innovating in their fields, they remind us that strategic change isn’t just about thinking outside the box, it’s about redefining the box itself. Happy Women’s Day to the disruptors, the dreamers, and the doers – the women who are making history by changing herstory.   #WomenWhoActuate #StrategicChange #WomensDay2024

Sharing from the messy middle today. Which really feels like most days; there is always, I think, something more I can be doing, and that something more (or not quite good enough) becomes a reason not to move forward. So today I'm trying something a little different: centering abundance even in the middle of it all, and celebrating the wins. For today -- 🎉 Celebrating the completion of a 16-week journey with Deb Boulanger 💫and Tonya Davis, MBA in the Launch Lab. I started with a pulse for creating change for women in transition without a clear vision of what and how; I finished with a cohort of incredible women entrepreneurs each making their way and making a significant impact on this world. I'm still sifting through (and in the messy middle) and can celebrate how far I've come. 🌷 Creating eightstrong -- a coaching & community-building space -- which works with women in transition after experiencing significant loss live in full color: rooted in their values & creative purpose; cultivated by life-giving, sustainable practices; and flourishing in their connection with themselves and their communities. I'm building out these core perennial pillars, and listening to how these resonate. ❓ Asking -- when the next step feels too hard -- why not now?

Tall poppy syndrome—a phenomenon where women leaders are often criticized, resented, or 'cut down' when they rise above the rest—has held back countless trailblazers. But it doesn’t have to define our stories. 'Unwind with Unveiled' is here to disrupt this narrative, empowering women to embrace their ambition, lead with purpose, and shatter barriers in the executive landscape. This isn’t just a program; it’s a movement to champion women who dare to dream bigger and achieve more. As part of the cohort, you’ll gain the tools, strategies, and community to rise unapologetically—and stay at the top. 👉 Applications close Dec 31. Ready to rise? https://lnkd.in/efc38vjP Let’s build futures where you’re not just inspired by the C-suite—you’re IN it.
