Happy Fourth of July, corporate badasses! I’m celebrating with my family today, and these celebrations have me thinking about a different kind of independence… The kind that comes with senior leadership roles. Imagine having the power to: 🪄 Shape company policies… 🪄 Lead ground-breaking initiatives… 🪄 Make decisions that positively impact thousands of lives… 🪄 Balance your career aspirations with personal fulfillment… 🪄 And create a workplace where all voices are heard and valued. That's the true independence that comes with reaching the executive level. And that's why we need more women like YOU in the executive suite. With that in mind, please join me in celebrating these corporate badasses who recently received promotions to higher levels of leadership. Emily Beedle for her promotion to ✨ Sr. Field Medical Director ✨ at BeiGene. Kim Hirsch for her promotion to ✨ Director - Enterprise Resilience ✨ at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota. Nicole Ramos, CPA for her promotion to ✨ Director FP&A, GTM ✨ at Vestwell. Amanda Raymond, M.A. for her promotion to ✨ Director Talent Development ✨ at Welch's. Tammy Radecke for her promotion to ✨ VP of Delivery Operations ✨ at Western Computer. Chelsea Ball, M.Ed for her promotion to ✨ Assistant Vice President, Advisor Diversity & Inclusion ✨ at LPL Financial. Ekaterina Karlova, MD, MBA for her promotion to ✨ Vice President US CAR-T ✨ at Novartis. Lisa Giaimo for her promotion to ✨ Vice President, Franchise ✨ at Extended Stay America. And remember: Every great leader started exactly where you are now. During the ✨ Summer Of Magic ✨, we are celebrating women who receive the promotions they deserve so you can see what's possible for YOU, too. If you or a corporate badass woman you know gets promoted this summer – I want to hear about it! Tag me, DM me, or share using the hashtag #SummerOfMagic2024. Together, we can transform The Leadership Table, one ✨ magical promotion ✨ at a time. #WomenChangingLeadership #CareerCoach #WomenLeaders #LeadershipDevelopment #ExecutiveLeadership

I attended my 4th Ascend Leadership National Convention this year, held in Las Vegas. It was an honor participating along with so many of my Deloitte colleagues, partners, friendly competitors, clients and future clients. The 3 days were full of learning, sharing, networking and fun! The conference theme was 'We Lead Together' and each day had a special flavor- Day 1- Mentorship/Sponsorship and Women Empowerment, Day 2- Mental Health and Day 3- Allyship. What a fantastic line-up of speakers for each of these modules!! Here some of my fav take-aways: - Seek the BEST answer, not just the CORRECT answer - Think about what you COULD be doing Vs. what you SHOULD be doing; when you do that, you take care of the should, anyways  -Three things that no one can take-away from you- your character, your credentials and your relationships - Recognize the 'glass cliff' (Vs. 'ceiling') - Have an 'activist' mindset - Be the best version of your self - You need to BE well, to DO well - Remove the 'but'; go 'all in' - Sponsorship is all about actions, behavior and practice - Allyship is, many actions over a period of time - Why 'fit in' when you can 'stand out' - Be an 'upstander' and not a ' bystander' And, this one touched my heart- Do for OTHERS what they want for THEM ( evolution of the golden rule- Do unto others as you would have them do unto you) Adding on another layer of #Gratitude for my firm leaders, Anna Mok, Sandeep Gupta, Rumy Jaleel-Khan, Brooke Lyon, Saagar Thakkar, Celeste Lum, Roger Sion, Linda Bohnert, Caroline Weatherford, Jessica Galimore, amongst others for the opportunity to attend the conference and pay the learning forward. A hug for my dear friend Robina Singh for her encouragement and the speaking opportunity; Emily Aarnio, PMP, my only other #CAM colleague, Linda L. for leading my (home) Houston Chapter, and my sweet huddle buddies at the conference Zara Khan, Lana Tran, Kay Patel, Pallavi S., Nidhi Khatri, Dhivya Shyam- you all made it so special!! 😍#WeLeadTogether #AscendTogether #CAMTogether

Our commitment to this vital journey is not just a reflection of our values but a strategic imperative for thriving in today's dynamic world filled with different challenges.

The dialogue between our leaders and our people shed light on our DEI journey so far and painted a compelling vision for our future.

#5am #WeekendReflection: 🌊 Today, as I soak in the tranquil moves of the ocean, "Amp It Up" by Frank Slootman is my companion, reminding me of the relentless pursuit of excellence and the discipline required in leadership and sales. In a world where the pace of change is rapid and unyielding, Slootman's principles offer a beacon for those of us dedicated to not just participating in the race but leading it. His call to action isn't just about working harder; it's about working smarter, with precision and unwavering focus. 🚀 The ocean, vast and relentless, mirrors the sales landscape – beautiful yet challenging, requiring us to navigate its depths with skill and resilience. As Slootman suggests, success in this environment is no accident. It's the result of deliberate actions, strategic thinking, and a commitment to excellence that begins well before the week does. On this Sunday, I'm reminded that our preparations today lay the groundwork for our achievements tomorrow. It's a time for reflection, for planning, and for setting our sights on the horizon with ambition and determination. As we look ahead to the coming week, let’s carry with us the wisdom that performance and leadership are practices honed not just in the moments of action but in our quietest hours of preparation. 🎯 To my fellow manufacturing leaders and sales professionals, let this be a week where we amplify our efforts, guided by strategic foresight and inspired by the boundless potential that lies ahead. Let's make excellence our habit, our default setting, as we navigate the vast ocean of opportunities together. Wishing everyone a week of profound achievements and amplified success. Let's make it count! ☀️ #SundayReflections #Leadership #SalesExcellence #AmpItUp #OceanWisdom
