Soft can be strong 💪 In championing women's leadership, Laura Rudoe, founder of Evolve Organic Beauty illuminates the crucial role of kindness and consideration in decision-making. In a world quick to equate softness with weakness, it's time to rewrite the narrative. Here at The Cheeky Panda, we understand that softness isn't a limitation - it's one of our greatest strengths! It's what fosters trust, compassion, and authenticity in every interaction. 🐼💚 BUY WOMEN BUILT Whole Foods Market #StrongerTogether #BuyWomenBuilt #Sustainability #WomenLeadership

Happy International Women’s Day! Earlier this week I was honored to have been a panelist joining these exceptional Women in Leadership, alongside Anna Mohl, Abigail Buckwalter & Hillary Estes and moderated by the wonderful Jennifer Benson. Our discussion was authentic & inspiring, addressing each of our perspectives and experiences as women leaders in the workplace, doing our best to shatter glass ceilings. I love that the conversation was centered in the action that we can all take to broaden the impact of diversity, equity, & inclusion in our own situations. Some of the key actionable themes we discussed were: 👯♀️ Peer Support: while there’s a ton a of value in formal mentorship, there is so much power & relatability in raising the women up who are your peers and across your community. ✨Consistency is Key: it doesn’t always need to be a grand gesture, in fact, repetitive actions cause patterns & behaviors - these are often more noticeable, memorable, & help to influence others. 🌱Bring others along: share opportunities whenever you can - whether it be a role recommendation or exposure on a big project. 📣Amplify the voices of others: give credit & repeat her great suggestions to ensure her contributions are more broadly recognized. 🪑Create Space: while “a seat at the table” is often used figuratively, there’s also power of quite literally making space for her with a seat at the table. Actions speak louder than words! TDLR; every single one of us can do our part to inspire change and broaden influence. The little things can do big things, and the work never stops 💜 Nestlé Health Science

Last week, I was invited to participate in EmpoderA at PepsiCo Brazil. These sessions are deeply meaningful to me because when we lift each other up, we create a ripple effect that benefits everyone—our teams, our organizations, and our communities. Someone once told me, "There are many people you don't know who know your name." This isn't about fame or recognition; it's about the impact we have on the people we work with every day. For me, empowering people isn't about solving everything for them—it's about placing them in positions where they can bring their very best, face challenges, and emerge stronger! Our role as leaders is to discover where our teams can thrive and identify which challenges will make them stronger. When we empower women, we empower teams, drive innovation, and fuel future growth. But empowerment doesn't happen in a vacuum; it requires every leader, every ally, and every one of us to commit to breaking down barriers, creating access, and providing mentorship. To all leaders: let's go beyond words. Empowerment means identifying talent, fostering inclusivity, and championing women's ambitions and achievements. It's up to us to make a difference, to elevate voices, and to create a workplace where everyone can rise. Thank you to everyone who made this event possible! #EmpoderA #Empowerment #WomenInLeadership #pepsicoproud #ONESNT

Happy International Women's Day! 🌟 Today, let's shine a light on the power of personal branding in elevating women's leadership. It's more than self-promotion; it's about sharing our true selves, our values, and the impact we aim to create. ✨ As we celebrate 🎉, remember the words of Nicola Hodson, CEO of IBM UK & Ireland: "𝘊𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴 𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘓𝘦𝘴𝘭𝘦𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘦", as per my article https://bit.ly/3wOtBpm Her journey reminds us of the strength found in recognizing and owning our unique contributions. This Women's Day, let's pledge to refine our brands, not just for career growth but to inspire the next generation of women leaders. It's about identifying and embracing those tasks we excel at naturally, often without realizing their immense value to others. 👉 Your true power lies in what you do effortlessly. Own it. Share it. Inspire with it. Let's celebrate our achievements and commit to visibility and consistency in branding. Here's to breaking barriers, opening doors, and empowering women everywhere! 🌍💪 #InternationalWomensDay #PersonalBranding #WomenLeaders #Empowerment #CelebrateWomen

📅 Last week I was on a panel for Mews to mark #IWD2024. Organised by Femme Palette and joined by fellow panellists Emily Goldfischer, Mary Li and Charlotte Tuck. Thank you Lucie Neumanova for the invitation.   📖 We shared stories from our career paths, each so varied from the next. Which reminded me of another conversation I was having on a podcast recording is that there is no right career path. We each need to make choices that are right for us. This includes knowing what you want and having the right to change your mind. Sometimes opportunities come to you, sometimes you go looking for it and sometime life happens.   🛎 Across the panel was a mix of operational, corporate and founder experience. Some had some great mentors in the early part of their careers, others not so much. Challenges for women included learning to speak up and lack of support for women's career progression.   ❤️ The lack of support or feeling of loneliness is one that regrettably I often felt, and I did not know where to turn. This is why I created the Inspire Community with Inspiring Women in Hospitality . I do not want anyone to ever feel like they are alone.   🗣 The story that stuck with me was one Charlotte shared. She and her husband run the Old Stocks Inn and she said that she just wants to be treated like the men. For example, when vendors come to the hotel, they greet her husband with a handshake and then get awkward with her. All she wants I a handshake, the same as her husband. Why is this so difficult?    #panel #discussion #power #inspiration #inspiringwomen #womensupportingwomen #women #empoweringwomen #empowerment #empoweredwomenempowerwomen #hospitality #passion #stories #sharing #inspiringwomeninhospitality #celebrate #hotels #learnings #experience #courage #solidarity #group #technology #interview #conversation #global #international #diverse #genderbalance
