Ariane Rivera’s Post

Those that know me well know how important I find being direct with someone. This is one of those times. So buckle in folks. It's time for a privilege check. To call these comments controversial is not only degrading but is also harmful. If you haven't heard his speech, go-give him clicks. Look at the audience both in that audience and beyond your screen. I know incredibly strong, talented, fierce women leaders who have managed to build successful careers and families for themselves simultaneously. I know women who chose not to grow families to include children because that brought them just as much joy as those who chose to have children. Maybe they were empowered to be who they wanted, to do who they want. I doubt they were told by a man who will make obscene amounts of money for kicking a ball a few hundred times a year (okay, a thousand times with practices) that they should lean into a vocation defined by the body parts they were born with. I've had men in my life so supportive of living in the current century where women can and likely need to work for their family to live comfortably. Leaders I've worked for have encouraged and supported me in every facet of my 10-year plan back when I actually had a long-term strategy I shared. I've also been asked in an interview how many children I plan to have. So please, if you don't know what to say or how to support women in careers, go learn how to have those conversations. Make the effort to be one of the many voices young women will need to hear in order to drown out this ignorance. You don't want "politics" on LinkedIn? Don't make a woman's body political.

Wow, can’t believe it’s already been 6 months! 🤩 Here are a few things I've picked up during this exciting journey: 1. Embracing Change: Transitioning between different team dynamics, e-commerce to bricks & mortar marketing, a well-established business vs a startup like Bloc Skincare, has been challenging but incredibly rewarding. 2. Marketing Foundations Matter: It’s been so fun to introduce the team to core marketing principles. Simple campaigns, emails, automation, and brand presence make a huge difference, even if they seem like a no-brainer to marketing brains. 3. Slowing Down (Kind Of): I like moving fast, but sometimes this isn’t always an option, especially with TGA & AHPRA requirements. Big shoutout to Ashley Freeman for being the brains behind navigating these waters and teaching me along the way! 4. Back to the Skin Industry: I’m thrilled to be back in the skin industry, connecting with top experts and reigniting my passion on a whole new level. Grateful for Dr Andrew Freeman, not just as a boss, but as a mentor, leader, and friend. 5. Valuing Open Conversations: Having a safe space for open discussions, sharing perspectives, and being heard, even when views differ, is truly priceless. 6. Proving Doubters Wrong: When someone suggested our website’s Shop space wouldn’t succeed due to market saturation, we doubled our YoY revenue in under 6 months. Challenge accepted and conquered! 7. Lean On Your Resources: It's perfectly okay to ask for help. Most people are not only willing but happy to lend a hand. I'm so incredibly grateful for the amazing people I've met in my marketing lifetime who who continue to support me. Feeling grateful for these experiences and looking forward to what’s next! 🚀
