Define Ventures’ Post

Grab your coffee while you listen in to this discussion moderated by Trevor Loy - one of the heroes who guided me on this VC journey. We with Shalanda Armstrong and Biola Alabi will explore the who, what and why of VC Unlocked Among other questions: - what is #VC school? - what does a hero’s journey look like? - who should apply? - why is almost half our population overlooked to deliver solutions and returns? - when is the time to jump in? - where can you learn more?

My voice matters, your voice matters, why is it difficult to acknowledge voices around us? As I facilitate workshops in some companies I ask these questions? As employer and employee... Do you hear each other? Do you listen at a deeper level? Do you take action after hearing something that requires our attention? Are you the silencer? 🤔 #facilitators #yourvoicematters #speakup #supportwomen #womeninmiddlemanagement #womeninleadership

I believe the best way to celebrate women - and basically any person of any gender - is to speak clear and loud on how you value them, look up to them, and how you're inspired by them every day. I like positive communication, so happily implement this approach every day, especially in my workplace. Once I shared this post today I though - why not to do it here and now? There're women who had a great impact on my career, and I just want to thank them here. Alina Volchek I always look up to her as the most dedicated and innovative leader I've ever worked with. Still can't understand how she perfectly combines the ability to completely trust you and always be there at the exact moment you need her advice or keen eye. Her bonus talent - she's the best in recruiting top pros:) Julia Petryk She's my PR role model. The two reasons I wanted to work for MacPaw: cats and Julia (I was 23, do not judge me). I ended up working for the competitor at Zeo Alliance (and grateful for it, because I met my favorite people there). When I started my career ten years ago, I thought she's the best in Ukraine. Today, I am sure she's not only the best proffesional but an incredibly strong person, one of the main drivers of Ukraine's victory.  Kimberly Tytyk, INHC, CIHC I always envy those colleagues who got a change to work more closely with Kim on content. Cause, guys, she's just the best in combining creativity and financial results. But still, everything I know about strategic thinking and organizing my own and my team (no matter how big) workflow I got from Kim. Also, her kindness, support and wisdom is something I still can rely on.  

Always a pleasure to work on a project that is so inspiring.

When women rise, they break barriers and create limitless opportunities on the global stage. This is what APWM aims to achieve by empowering women through the Women Entrepreneurial Bootcamp. Here are a few more highlights from our Orientation Event. https://lnkd.in/dk8iDgTP #APWM #herestoinclusion #womenpowerment

Inc. Magazine put out their 2024 list of 250 female founders. Take a look including the criteria that they used to choose this list of most intriguing women. However, the list only includes women in the United States. So here is the challenge. Use the comments and list/tag women from all over the world who you think are intriguing women. Who should we follow? Who should we lift up? Who is doing interesting things (regardless of the recognition or notoriety)? They don't have to be famous. They just have to be important to you (and be intriguing). If they are on LinkedIn tag them so that others can learn about these amazing, intriguing women too. #womenentrepreneurs #womeninbusiness #celebratingwomen #WomenInLeadership #TrailblazingWomen #WomenEmpowerment https://lnkd.in/dG3iS3Nx
