Well yesterday's discussion on personal branding was as brilliant as I thought it would be. Reflecting on the conversation and how to avoid the 'ick' around self-promotion, the answer is reframing.... 1. Reframe as professional branding rather than personal. Being personal and sharing everything is not everyone's cup of tea. That is ok, think about your profile as one you wear to work 2. Reframe your "what should I talk about" and instead start with your core values and the areas you are passionate about. As I said yesterday, you haven't got where you are today without being smart, clever and just brilliant at what you do 3. Reframe the self promotion idea which can feel vain or ego driven. instead it is about sharing your knowledge helping others and building a legacy of your passion, career and insight for those coming up the ranks behind you. Oh and after the very big discussion about "over thinking it all", the very clear answer is just to bloomin' do it! And for anyone who wants to talk about raising their game and getting out there with thought leadership - happy to help in whatever way I can. As I said at the lunch, paying it forward with kindness is my core value!

Reflecting on this weekends WEL Women’s Leadership Conference has me pondering the unexpected lessons we often stumble upon between the scheduled sessions. Amidst the insightful talks and networking, Leslie Michelle Lew taught us a self-defence move. Dubbed 'Drop It Like It's Hot,' it's a simple yet potent move for breaking free if someone grabs your arm. Begins with taking a wide stance and grounding yourself. This unexpected nugget of wisdom highlights the value of these gatherings beyond the planned agenda. It's in these unscripted moments, the conversations in the hallways and the shared experiences, where we find more practical knowledge that empowers and protects us. It underscores the importance of coming together, not just to absorb information, but to exchange insights, techniques, and lessons learned. Moreover, this self-defense technique serves as a metaphor for life—an analogy for not allowing others to pull us in directions we don't want to go. It's a reminder to stand firm, assert ourselves, and navigate our own paths with confidence and resilience. Thank you Leslie Michelle Lew for being a dynamic host and speaker and for teaching us valuable lessons throughout those two days.

I took SIX pages of notes at this year’s MSU Women’s Leadership Conference 😳 This is by far one of my favorite annual events, because it is wildly empowering to be surrounded by so many female leaders. Here are some of my biggest takeaways: 1) Every single day you get what you expect 2) People only listen if they ask to be told 3) A true community needs two drunks and a mayor 4) It’s just a cow 5) Ask more than you tell 6) Label the fears —> Accusation Audit —> Pause 7) Take up space 8) Recognize the noise, figure out where it’s coming from, and filter it through your whole self 9) Set the damn boundaries 10) Empathy without compassion = Burnout 11) It’s not “I win or I lose,” but “I win or I learn.” 12) Strong women are not born. We are made from the storms we’ve walked through.
