Board Meeting Woman's Leadership

Women’s Leadership Matters

My dream is that women acknowledge their innate ability to be extraordinary leaders. My purpose is to inspire women to realize their full potential. Utilizing my futuristic and maximizer strengths, I positively embolden women to strategically create their ideal future and to get what they want, need and deserve – at the highest level. ~Betsy

Women’s Leadership Matters because we have changed organizational culture in less than fifty years.

Women’s Leadership Matters because we have different “matters” when we assume leadership roles. We have matters of:

  • Work/life balance
  • Communication
  • Negotiation
  • Claiming Our Value

 I Get It

As a woman who has served in leadership roles at the local, state and national levels I understand your trials and triumphs. I understand what makes you tick and I get what it is like to wear a skirt on the boys’ team. I understand that the path to leadership is hell on a pair of pumps.

Yes, it is a corporate jungle. Guess what girlfriend, it is time to create your own vine and swing through that thing. Don’t borrow someone else’s vine.

In the jungle you can be a cheetah or a monkey–and you get to choose which one.

Women have figured out that the incremental way of navigating the corporate jungle does not serve us. My clients want to go from 0 to 200. They want an 18 month plan–not a 90 day performance appraisal.  They want to go from the mail room to the boardroom–from Director to C Suite.

As one of the first women to lead a multimillion-dollar organization, I know how difficult it can be to get your ideas heard and implemented. As the first women to serve as President of Cordova Rotary, I understand when not to wear pink in the board room.
