Hey Network! My experience with the Global Leadership League has been so rewarding thus far. As a new member, I’m just getting to know more people but as a volunteer leader, I have the chance to host and facilitate training sessions, workshops, and speakers related to personal development and leadership. Check out this post and their page and let me know if you want any more information on this great group or the benefits it’s provided me! #personaldevelopment #leadership #globalleadership #globalleadershipleague

Conflict is inevitable in any leadership role. In fact, it is often impossible to avoid if you really want to make a difference in your organization. Navigating it creates so much anxiety in us because we are afraid of hurting our reputation, failing, or ending relationships. As women in leadership, conflict is even more tricky because we are expected to behave and act in a friendly and likable way. This feels like the opposite of conflict, doesn’t it? In this engaging and empowering program, KJ McNamara helps audience to dive into why we are so triggered by conflict as well as explore different approaches and tools that help us find a resolution. Today, KJ is with our Partner of the Year, Northwestern State University, to share her message of "How To Fight Fair: Navigating Conflict as a Woman in Leadership." Thank you for hosting KJ today, we are honored to serve you.

Increasing diversity on your leadership team should be part of your DEI strategy. It is not enough to have diversity in your non-leadership positions. It shows your true commitment to inclusion.

Western leadership styles can widely vary, from top-down management to methods valuing innovation. In contrast, Indigenous leadership uses a people-centered approach: cultural practices and beliefs are cornerstones of relationships, and the care and well-being of others are prioritized in decision-making.

The 2024 Women Lead Change conference knocked it out of the park this year. Key takeaways: 1) OWN your superpower (often something that came out of challenge when you were 5-10 years old and has also been your "too much" of "this" comment from others often enough); 2) Alone you may go fast but TOGETHER we will always ALL go FURTHER; 3) If you're fearing something, get curious, listen to your heart/mind/gut connections and get that thing into one of these buckets: a) You can control it; manage it (this is a small bucket); b) You can influence it (medium sized bucket, get curious); c) LET IT GO and empty that bucket! (It's your biggest bucket, don't let it suck your energy and LET IT GO.) #IWLC #womenempowerment #Superwoman #community #curiosityoverfear
