We all know the saying “It takes a village”. I believe that this is true. I know that I have had a village surround me and support me through all of the phases of my life and career. I am so grateful for the people who encouraged me, told me the truth and encouraged me to persevere even when I didn’t want to. I have worked really hard, but it hasn’t been alone. That is why this year, I have purchased a “Pay it Forward” ticket for the upcoming Take Charge Conference. I know that this donation will enable the Lean-in-Latinas event team to offer partial scholarships for attendees who otherwise might miss out on this year’s event. I challenge all of my connections to join me in making a donation and purchasing a “Pay it Forward” ticket. I know you all will show up in person if you are able and if you’re not, will show up in kind. Can’t wait to see you all at the 2024 Take Charge Conference on August 9. 📢 How to buy your Pay it Forward Ticket: https://lnkd.in/etSgK_wj 📣 Reserve Your Spot: https://lnkd.in/emYDqshB 📌 Website: takechargeconference.com #TakeCharge2024 #LeanInLatinas #LatinaProfessionals #LatinaLeadership #SalaryNegotiation #CareerGrowth #ExecutiveCoach #LeanIn #Payitforward

 Charitable Giving Is Just a Start: Why Generosity Needs a Strategy Charitable giving, though well intentioned, can sometimes feel like a fleeting gesture. A cheque written here, a donation link clicked there, a sense of warmth and satisfaction. But is that enough? Can generosity that lives only in moments truly reflect your values, your purpose, your potential? To me, giving is about crafting a life. It’s about creating a strategy—a system of generosity that isn’t tied to impulse but to identity. A charitable giving strategy ensures that giving isn’t something you do once but something you become. Monette Malewski is the President and CEO of M Bacal Group.
