💡 Want to know how women in real estate are building successful careers without sacrificing family time? Learn the secrets to scaling your business while maintaining balance at home. Let’s be real—juggling a successful career in real estate and family life is HARD. Many women feel like they have to choose between business growth and time with loved ones. But what if you didn’t have to choose? At the upcoming Culture Event, you’ll hear from inspiring women who’ve done just that. They’ve built their networks, scaled their businesses, and still managed to keep their family time sacred. Here’s what you’ll learn: - How to surround yourself with friends who inspire you and lift you higher. - The secret to making rules that work for you—setting boundaries and systems that allow success in both business and life. - How to turn relationships into opportunities, so you can grow your business without sacrificing family time. It’s all about finding balance and building a support system that helps you thrive in both areas. This event will show you exactly how to do that. Don’t miss out! Register now for the Culture Event happening on 10/17 in Chandler, AZ, from 11-3 p.m. and take the first step toward achieving balance in your life and career.

Yesterday was quite a day. I hosted the latest in our series of events designed to help senior women in marketing get inspiration, tips and advice on how break through the glass ceiling through Director level roles and move into board level positions. The panel this time saw the return of the lovely Helen Normoyle and she was joined by first time panellists Kate Pennell and Dawn Spencer, who did an amazing job. Thank you! I not only love these events for the inspiration that it gives me to hear the stories of career success and positive mindset that these women clearly display which explain why they have been so successful, but I have also been really overwhelmed by the feedback that has come from the attendees about how much impact it has had on them and the ideas and positivity that they have taken away from it. There were two quotes on the day that really resonated with me: 1) "Its not about how well you blend in, its about how boldly you stand out”. This is something I think that at times I, and other women, have felt about working in a male dominated environment/at a male dominated level. You feel like you need to be the one to adapt to fit in with the ways of working/talking/likes or dislikes of those around you. You don't. Women are different and we should embrace our different feelings, experiences, approaches and opinions to bring change and new ideas to our businesses. 2) "Growth and comfort don’t co-exist" . Again, a key message that has come out of all of these events that I have hosted has been that as a general rule, women will shy away from taking on promotions or opportunities because we doubt ourselves and think we need to be the finished article in order to be worthy of a bigger role. It's OK to feel out of your comfort zone by taking on new challenges and responsibilities. You've been given those opportunities because those around you believe you can do it. Believe in yourself and lean into the discomfort. There will be more LinkedIn posts in the coming days with a synopsis of the event content, some videos from the speakers and also news about the new What's App group I launched at the event for senior women in marketing! Happy bank holiday weekend everyone!

Can we talk about humble brags for a sec? Whether you’re truly feeling humbled or have a solid reason to brag, it all can feel … odd. Personally, receiving public praise feels more awkward to me than it is validating – my default is to shine light elsewhere. That said, I can brag all day long about the people I get to work beside. And fittingly, PRNEWS is recognizing our team for In-house innovation. https://lnkd.in/ggaySSQM I’m honored to be named among PRNEWS Top Women in PR for In-House Innovation, which is far more about the “we” than me. We’ve come a long way in building Advantage Solutions’ first enterprise corp comms and marketing team in less than 12 months … and here’s what we agreed way back then 😇: -We’d make stuff, break stuff and lift each other up along the way -We’d reimagine storytelling as something we lived and proved in how others experience us – with authenticity -We’d create new connections and listen with intention to better reflect lived truths and new possibilities -We’d enjoy the journey and commit to enriching lives The entire team was down to ride … with curious minds, open hearts and a wonderful breadth of talent: Gladys Roman Amanda Wegrzyn Peter Frost Nicole (Gruenebaum) Simonds Lindsay Moore Siegel, Nicole W. Barb Grondin Francella Armentia D. Snyder, MS Maggie Jennison Kellye Whitney Michael Browne Jourdan Black, Anita Baldwinson, Rubi Trujillo, Kim Fimbres Perez ADV Comms Squad: Thanks for creating new perspective on the true power of #WinningTogether. While I know we’re still building the house, let’s celebrate the win and the stronger foundation. Upward, we go! #PRNEWS #TopWomen2024 #PublicRelations #Innovation

You know what I want in life, it sounds so simple, but why is it so hard? I just want everyone to feel happyiness, peace, to enjoy life and feel equal in this world- so that we all have the opportunity to follow what ever our dreams might be. Ok I know life’s not that simple, but as humans we have so much more influence than we realise. WE employ our governments, WE choose which corporations to spend our money with.. WE can choose to do better for our fellow humans. This is way I was thrilled to share with Jack Belcher, the Speaker Liaison at Mash Media at International Confex the story behind starting Diversity Alliance ® (catch it on their latest episode of Conference Calls). Because ultimately, it was for that very reason — I wanted to see people happy, living a fulfilled life and being treated equally and respectfully in our industry, at our events and for that to ripple into the world around us. I believe we're at a crisis point when it comes to DE&I. Until we truly focus on improving representation and creating genuinely inclusive workplace cultures, marginalised people will continue to be significantly impacted day after day. It's critical that we address these issues head-on to create meaningful change.

After a wonderful race weekend and in the midst of post-race responsibilities, I’m grateful that Susan Sears created a “pause” for us and invited me to join her for The Power of She event hosted by the Gravity Center, LLC. Being in a room of women leaders and hearing from some amazing women during the program, I felt rejuvenated and was given some great learnings/reminders. Here are just a few of the takeaways from the discussions and maybe you’ll find a nugget from them. My way of bringing people to the table (post event) and you’ll get that if you read below. 1. Listen. Pause and listen to others. You can learn a lot by listening. Plus, sometimes the other person just needs someone to listen. 2. Being intentional is important. That’s something I’ve always strived for in all my relationships- personal and professional. But a great reminder as it has felt harder to do in balancing motherhood, friendships, career, being a wife, etc. which leads to another. 3. I loved how Molly Grantham changed the perspective from balance to juggling. Juggling gives you control to choose which balls to pick up and which to drop. And maybe dropping a ball is needed for the season you’re in and you can pick it back up later. I needed that reminder because I’ll admit I’ve been trying to juggle too many or feeling guilty dropping a ball or two (or 10). 4. This one was beautiful and one I feel I struggle with because often I’m not sure I’m skilled enough, connected enough, or confident enough. And I’ll be the first to admit, that build up to networking or meeting someone new is terrifying to me. Funny because once I connect I can instantly dig deep and get to know someone. But all that to say, a panelist shared, “Don’t just be in the spaces. Create the spaces. Ask who you should bring into the space that would not be there? Bring them.” I’m not only going to challenge myself to bring people in, but to ask for a seat at the table. It was a powerful event with great reminders and learnings. I’ve already written some of these reminders on sticky notes around my office to stay top of mind and act on.
