INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY As we celebrate International Women’s Day 2024, I’m filled with overwhelming gratitude for the incredible women who have shaped my journey and the countless others whose paths I’ve had the honor of crossing.   At the heart of my work lies a deep-seated passion for empowering executives and professionals to own their careers, and to empower women in leadership with every available opportunity to thrive.   Throughout my career, which spans three decades and multiple domains, I’ve witnessed the transformative power of investing in leadership. This belief fuels every engagement, project, partnership, and interaction.   With each woman who is empowered, she is not just unlocking her potential—she's igniting a ripple effect of change that extends far beyond the boardroom.   It’s about breaking barriers, shattering stereotypes, and paving the way for a future where every woman’s voice is heard and valued.   At The Kathleen Pringle Group, we’re ‘coach-sultants’ and champions for growth and change. A commitment to excellence, authenticity, and continuous growth drives me and my team. Together, we’re rewriting the narrative of what it means to be a female leader in today’s world.   This International Women’s Day, we’re continuing our commitment to the journey of empowerment and advancement.   Be sure to call out and celebrate the women you know, admire, or who have motivated and inspired you. Women’s achievements need to be acknowledged, and we should all pledge to continue championing the cause of equity and inclusion—not just today but every day.   When we uplift one woman, we uplift an entire organization, community, and generation. #internationalwomensday2024 - Kathleen

🌍✨ Celebrating International Women's Day with a Roadmap Through Time ✨🌍 As we mark another International Women's Day, I've taken a moment to reflect on my career journey, not just as a path I've walked alone but as a roadmap dotted with remarkable milestones showing the impact of incredible women who've shaped, guided, and inspired me every step of the way. The exercise of creating this roadmap where each dot represents a specific interaction has been profoundly enlightening and humbling. This reflective journey not only allowed me to visualize the pivotal intersections where their guidance, wisdom, and encouragement steered my professional journey but also deepened my appreciation for the collective strength and inspiration these women have imbued in me. To every woman who has been a part of this journey, THANK YOU. Your influence extends beyond the milestones on this roadmap; it echoes in the values I carry forward in my work and the mentorship I pass on to others. 🌍✨This International Women's Day, let's celebrate the incredible women in our lives and careers. Let's commit to being mentors, allies, and advocates, creating a legacy of empowerment that spans beyond our individual journeys. Here's to the women who inspire us, the mentors who guide us, and the leaders who pave the way. May we continue to support and empower one another, today and every day. 🌸💼 #InternationalWomensDay #Empowerment #Mentorship #WomenInLeadership #CareerJourney

Celebrating Courage and Leadership - Honoring Women’s International Day As we stand in the glow of Times Square, illuminated not by neon lights, but by the brilliance of pioneering women, I am overwhelmed with pride and gratitude. Today, on Women's International Day, we pay homage to a vision that is larger than any one of us – a vision where the barriers of gender dissolve in the luminance of our combined achievements. This picture, showcasing a powerful cadre of women CEOs and executives, is not just a testament to what we've accomplished. It is a beacon, a siren call to the future leaders, the dreamers, the young girls who look up to the stars and see not just light, but paths of possibility. Each face tells a story of courage, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Together, we stand not just as individuals, but as a testament to what unity, mentorship, and leadership can achieve. In boardrooms and battlefields, in science and in arts, from the steps we take to the laws we shape, women around the world are crafting a legacy of progress. To my fellow leaders – let's continue to build bridges, shatter glass ceilings, and empower the next generation. Let's invest in Resources, create Opportunities, and strengthen Connections. Our journey is not just about personal success but about elevating others along the way. To those who dream – remember, your potential is boundless, your voice is powerful, and your time is now. Lean into challenges with the knowledge that you are part of a lineage of trailblazers. You are the architects of a world where gender parity is not an aspiration, but a norm. Let’s embrace this moment not only to celebrate how far we’ve come but to ignite the spark for how far we will go. We rise by lifting others, and today, we rise together. Here's to the women who lead, the women who dare, and the women who light up the world – may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them. #WomensInternationalDay #Leadership #Unity #Gratitude #WomenInBusiness #InspirationalLeaders #TimesSquare #DealMakeHers

Women. It's time to shine. I just want to put this out there, as the working day draws to a close in Australia on this, the first day of the month that holds International Women's Day. The creative world needs women leaders more than ever. As AI and machine learning grows, it's easy to fear what's next. Especially in an environment where profits and break-through creative ideas seem to be harder and harder to make. The world needs emotional intelligence, nurturing and empathy. The world needs women. The creative world needs women leaders. Full stop. Interestingly, since I started coaching a year ago, 90% of my client base is women. The majority pay for themselves. Maybe that's because women are not afraid to ask for help. Or believe they are worth investing in. Maybe it's because they are doing whatever they can to be inspired and, in turn, be inspirational. Or maybe they are doing whatever they can to get to the top. Research shows globally, still only 9% of Chief Creative officers are female. Take it from me, having been there, that's not enough. The theme of this year's UNs International Women's Day campaign is Count her in. Invest in women. Accelerate Progress. We are in the business of creativity. Both are equally important. If you're in a position where you can support pathways for women into creative positions and find ways to keep them on that path, do it. Bringing female perspective, along with more belonging, relevance and empowerment to the table isn't just good for morale. In my experience it's good for business. And who doesn't want that? And if you are a female creative, don't be afraid to ask for support. If your agency has a training budget, don't be afraid to use it. Or ask for one if none exists. That’s all.

Let's raise a virtual glass for all the amazing women out there. Happy International Women's Day! 🎉 Let's celebrate the incredible strength, resilience, and brilliance of women everywhere. It's a day to acknowledge our progress and ignite even greater change for the future. I firmly believe it's time for more women at the top. We have unique perspectives, creativity, and a determination to make a real difference. But let's face it: sometimes, getting our voices heard in leadership roles can feel like an uphill climb. I know this feeling very well. Early in my career, I struggled to make my voice heard, even when I had valuable ideas. But a mentor empowered me with life-changing words: "You have a job to do, and speaking up is a big part of it. They chose you for a reason." That's why I'm passionate about women supporting women. Here's how we can lift each other up: 🚺 Mentorship rocks: Have you been lucky enough to have a great mentor? Pay it forward and help another woman on her journey. Don't have a mentor yet? Reach out and find one! 🚺 Speak up and amplify: Did a female colleague nail that presentation? Tell her, and tell her boss too. Amplifying each other's successes is powerful. 🚺 Build your power network: Find your network of strong women. Share ideas, support each other, and lift each other up. 🚺 Own your power: You've got the skills, the smarts, and the determination. Don't downplay your achievements or be afraid to step into your power. Speaking of owning your power, I have something special for you. 🎉 I have a brand new blog, and today, we’re tackling the challenges of truly getting your voice heard at work. 🚀 Click the link in the comments to check out “From Talking to Being Heard: 5 Steps to Get Your Leader to Listen". How are you celebrating today? #internationalwomensday2024 #womeninleadership #strongertogether

Yes, as women leaders we are 75% more likely to achieve our goals, dreams, and aspirations when we are in the company of other women - I agree 100%! AND…to do those ⬆️ things and for those dreams and achievements to have a long lasting impact on our lives and businesses, we need to… ✨heal ourselves ✨tend to our wounds ✨lift the veil on the darkness we’re feeling ✨talk things through ✨surround ourselves with the love and support of other women ✨upgrade our internal operating systems To feel strong and resilient and certain and grounded in what we are here to do as we rise into greater roles and deeper relationships, we need to understand who we are at the core, now. To do that, we must give ourselves grace and space to figure it out. Growth can disguise itself as “the dark and heavy,” especially when faced alone. When it’s time to grow, even the strongest women with the greatest missions to change the world need to meet one another in sacred spaces where, for a short time, they simply take care of themselves and each other. This is what women leaders do now. We don’t isolate and take it all on alone. We are here doing it, together. Sisterhood, and spiritual AND business support for women leaders walking a similar path between life and life work is hard to find, yet it is what will continue to make us stronger and more resilient than we’ve ever been. The Uncommon Woman Global is for women leaders who crave community, clarity, and confidence as they rise into their personal and professional power. We are officially launching The Uncommon Woman Global #linkedin page on Friday March 8 - International Woman’s Day. I would LOVE for to join us as we celebrate there! Drop a 🙌🏼 in the comments if you are an Uncommon Woman leader! I’ll send you a private message along with the link to the page.
