“Good leadership is always about authenticity and being true to who you are. And the more and more we can get leaders to show up as who they are ... the better off we will be as more and more people will start to see themselves in those roles,” says Shelley Gray, CEO of SkilledTradesBC. “Executive-level leadership doesn’t have to show up with a suit and tie. It can show vulnerability, it can show compassion, it can show warmth, it can show care, it can show humour.” #womeninleadership #womeninbusiness

The path to leadership is both exhilarating and challenging, especially for women who strive to carve out their space while staying true to themselves. In one of our features, Susan MacKenty Brady, Janet Foutty, and Lynn Perry Wooten share how women can embrace leadership roles on their own terms. They draw on their own experiences and those of other top leaders to outline key practices women can adopt: ✨ Invest in yourself through self-awareness exercises ✨ Embrace authenticity by staying true to your core values ✨ Cultivate courage to take risks and promote your ideas ✨ Foster resilience by practicing intentional breaks ✨ Inspire a bold vision that connects to a broader purpose ✨ Create a healthy team environment focused on strengths ✨ Commit to being an inclusive leader who champions equity This piece is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of leadership, gender, and the pursuit of authenticity.

🌟 Let's empower women in the workplace! 🌟 Register here ➡ https://lnkd.in/gDWGxMWb Did you know that women often receive less constructive feedback compared to their counterparts? Additionally, they have limited access to senior mentors, making it challenging to find mentors with both relevant professional and personal lived experience. This scarcity is largely due to the lack of representation in senior leadership today, particularly impacting women of color. That's why mentorship plays a pivotal role, especially in the early stages of a woman's career. Join us for an enlightening panel discussion this International Women's Day, focused on mentoring the next generation of women in leadership. Our esteemed Ceresa mentors, Louise K. Allen, Kellie Sauls, ADEIP/CCDP, and Ed Baklor will guide us through: 🔍 Understanding the research supporting the critical importance of mentorship for nurturing women leaders. 💡Valuable tips on becoming a highly effective mentor, regardless of your background or experiences. 🌱 Cultivating a more supportive mentoring culture within your organization. Let's come together to pave the way for a more inclusive and empowering workplace for women. Save your spot now! #InternationalWomensDay #Mentorship #WomenLeadership

These thought leaders were invited to share their reflections on two pivotal questions that are at the heart of the exploration into women's leadership: Leadership Development and Management Training Opportunities: In your experience, what leadership development and management training opportunities have been effective in retaining female talent and helping women move up into leadership roles? Advancing Women in Leadership: What do you believe is still needed to further support and advance women in leadership positions? https://bit.ly/3GrQd0u #CommPRO #Leadership #Report

The gender biases that women leaders face daily compared to men often leads to increase workplace stress and women declining promotions. While organizations recognize that women leaders navigate through crisis at a superior level than men leaders, leadership development for women leaders remain inferior almost setting women leaders up for failure. This is why my leadership consulting firm exists, to support the leadership well-being of highly accomplished women leaders while they build high performing teams. It is undeniable the level of transformation that occurs when women are placed in leadership roles. https://lnkd.in/ge87g63i
