I was honored to have a game-changing conversation with the incomparable Liz Shovlin Burnett, MBA from Mastercam at the IMTS - International Manufacturing Technology Show Creators Lounge! 🎙️ We tackled a crucial question: How can we ensure women's voices are heard in manufacturing, where only 12% of the workforce is female? Listen up, fellas - this isn't just a conversation for women. We need to step up and be part of the solution. Here's how we can be allies: 1️⃣ Make space for these conversations. Invite women to speak, then genuinely listen. 2️⃣ Amplify women's voices in meetings. Credit their ideas and expertise. 3️⃣ Mentor and champion women in their careers. Use your influence to open doors. 4️⃣ Challenge biased behaviors when you see them. Be the change. Liz highlighted some organizational strategies: 🌟 Provide leadership training to empower women 🌟 Foster a culture of support and mentorship Remember, this isn't just about diversity - it's about driving innovation and growth in our industry. Men in manufacturing, how are you showing up as an ally? Let's share ideas and keep this conversation going! #WomenInManufacturing #MaleAllyship #IMTS2024 #CreatorsLounge

How can manufacturing ensure women’s voices are heard?” 🔊 This question from Drew Crowe at IMTS - International Manufacturing Technology Show is vital. In a field where only 12% of the workforce is female, making sure women’s voices are heard drives growth and innovation. 🚀 In our conversation, we discussed key actions organizations can take: 1️⃣Provide Training: It’s not just about having a seat at the table but knowing how to use it effectively. Equip women with skills to communicate, negotiate, and lead confidently. 📚 2️⃣Promote Support, Not Competition: Create a culture where women uplift and mentor each other rather than compete. Strong networks build strong teams. 🤝 👉 Watch the clip below to hear more on how we can drive change together!

➡️ The Ask >> Share ideas for a *free* impactful women's leadership event! (Details below my rant.) 📣 When your rights, your family's integrity and safety, and even your career can be decided by the government, that's as personal as it gets. 📣 As a woman, lesbian, wife, girl mom, resident of FL, and a million other labels... I am FEELING this on a torturous soul level. I am already lacking the emotional energy to formulate coherent thoughts on the sad, infuriating turn of events in our country in just seven days, so I'm seeking as many things that I can control as possible to make an impact. ➡️ The Catalyst ⬅️ Last week I saw a post from a woman in leadership on the government level who had a women's leadership conference canceled on the heels of the horrendous DEI rollbacks. ➡️ The Action ⬅️ I am a speaker/trainer by trade. Leadership is my speciality and empowering women is a true passion of mine. I want to create and run a workshop series for women in leadership where we can come together, empower and inspire one another, and learn along the way. I can certainly come up with this agenda and focus on what I think is important. But I want to offer this (💰for free - I am NOT looking to profit off of this 💰) and I want it to be something that *other* women will actually find valuable. 💖 The Ask 💖 (Yes - differentiated with heart emojis because our hearts are a 💪 SUPERPOWER 💪, not a weakness!) If you are interested in co-creating, co-leading, attending, or some combo thereof, tell me what you want! (Also tell me if you sang that last phrase. 🎶) Start with... - Topics to cover - Messages to share/reinforce - Logistics (date, length, times, etc.) And then feel free to add anything else to the convo to help bring this to life! ➡️ Tag, share -- all the things to give this legs, get insights, and get this into action ASAP. 🔥 I truly believe that a group of fired up, intelligent, driven women are UNSTOPPABLE. 🔥 It is WAY past time that we actually DO THIS and make an impact. #ConnectionRevolution

Recently, Uma Thana Balasingam shared some personal stories that hit home—moments of uncertainty and the powerful lessons she drew from them. She challenged me to rethink how I approach #resilience and self-leadership, and here’s what stuck with me: ✨ 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘃𝘀. 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 Following the rules isn’t always the answer. Curiosity can turn even the mundane into a chance to grow. 🔥 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝘃𝘀. 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Not all challenges are threats. What if they’re raw materials for transformation? 💡 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘃𝘀. 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 Standing out fades; creating lasting impact doesn’t. Strive to serve, not just to shine. I had the opportunity to attend this talk at the Women in Product Singapore summit last week. It was a day well spent with inspiring people. #womeninproduct #productmanagement #leadership
