Women in Motion of High Point’s Post

In the realm of entrepreneurship and empowerment, setting significant goals is paramount. My mission for this year is ambitious yet profoundly meaningful - assisting over 20 women in achieving financial security. This initiative isn't just a goal; it's a movement towards creating lasting impact and empowerment. I invite you to share: What is the one big goal you're working towards this year? Let's connect and inspire one another on this journey to greatness. #Leadership #FinancialEmpowerment #WomenInBusiness

What qualities define a powerful woman leader? On Monday, the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance hosted its annual Power of Women event. Hosted by Grant Thornton LLP (US), the event featured a conversation with Cathy Bessant, the new president and CEO of Foundation For The Carolinas and Janet LaBar, President and CEO of Charlotte Regional Business Alliance. As the CLT Alliance’s 2023 Legacy Leader recipient, Cathy shared insights from her 42-year groundbreaking career in financial services at Bank of America and her vision for this new philanthropic leadership role. For such an accomplished leader, Cathy was refreshingly down-to-earth, funny, and authentic. A few key takeaways from Cathy's inspiring remarks: On Transitions: Respecting the past while charting a bold new future are keys to a great leadership transition. She is undertaking a strategic planning process to shape the Foundation's community engagement strategies. On Philanthropy: Giving is more about the passion than the money. She encouraged getting engaged through giving as part of well-rounded civic engagement. On Women's Leadership: Women still face the challenges of battling double standards. Performance, not personal branding, is the best self-advocacy. On Work-Life Balance: Like many working moms, Cathy admits "you're going to do some piece of it incorrectly every day." Her tips? Self-awareness, investment in friendships, asking for help, and using your own yardstick to measure success. On Responsible AI: Cathy highlighted AI/AR's power to drive data-driven insights while underscoring the importance of developing this technology responsibly to protect personal data. Throughout the event, Cathy inspired with her authenticity, determination to "run towards" opportunities, and perspective that courage and empathy are ultimate superpowers. The Charlotte community is fortunate to have such a principled, visionary leader at the helm of one of our region's most impactful organizations. #womenshistorymonth #womenempoweringwomen #womeninleadership #womenbusinessowners #charlotte #barbararozgonyi 

On this Women’s Entrepreneurship Day 2024, let’s celebrate the incredible power of women lifting each other up. When women support women, we create a ripple effect of opportunity, empowerment and success that benefits not just individuals, but entire communities. In the UK, women-led businesses contribute over £100 billion annually to the economy, representing 12.55% of private sector employment, but a recent report by the British Business Bank found that for every £100 of equity funding in the country, less than 2% goes to women-founded businesses. The challenges women face—limited access to funding, underrepresentation in leadership and balancing responsibilities—are not individual battles; they’re collective challenges to be tackled. Special thanks to Roseann Kelly MBE and her fabulous team at Women in Business NI for having me at their Voices of Leadership Conference and for their continued hard work in bringing together female entrepreneurs with mentorship and support. To every woman out there: your success is our success. Let’s keep breaking down barriers and building each other up. Together, we’re unstoppable. 💪 #WomensEntrepreneurshipDay #WomenSupportingWomen #Empowerment #Leadership

Today, we find ourselves at a defining moment—one that demands our collective strength and vision. Many women are feeling the weight of this moment—balancing career ambitions, family responsibilities, and now, a renewed sense of civic duty. This is why Genee exists. Our mission goes beyond career coaching. Genee is about empowering women to become leaders—at work, at home, in our communities, and in the world. In times like these, we need women who will rise to lead with empathy, resilience, and clarity. We need women who will pave the way, challenge the status quo, and champion a future where equity, respect, and justice are not just aspirations but realities. Let’s be clear: leadership is not defined by power or position. Real leadership is rooted in values, in the courage to act when it matters most, and in the strength to create space for others to rise. Here’s what we’re committed to: 1. Supporting Women’s Growth and Resilience – We’re here to help women find their voice, sharpen their strengths, and face challenges with confidence. 2. Building a Community of Empowerment – Genee is a platform for women to lift each other up, share knowledge, and drive change together. Alone, our voices are strong; together, they are unstoppable. 3.

I see the movement. The movement of women realizing the importance of supporting and empowering other women. Especially in professional work settings. Yesterday my post was pretty vulnerable. I shared my experience of being bullied, gaslit and manipulated by a female leader. I felt lost, unsupported and worthless. My confidence was shot. I questioned if I was even qualified to do the same job at another company. I've used that experience to fuel a different type of leadership - a style that not only focuses on empowering women, but also lifting them up and giving them opportunities to shine. I often seek out organizations and women who think like me and those that want the same things for other professional women. So imagine my surprise when I attended the Customer Contact Week Las Vegas event in June, and saw that there was an entire track of content dedicated to CCWomen (Customer Contact Women), an organization started by Sandy Ko Fonseca, focused on the women in the Customer Contact world. At a HUGE conference, with thousands of attendees, there was an entire track of content, including panels, sessions and workshops, dedicated to connecting, empowering and educating these amazing women. I've never seen this before. Ever. It was so refreshing. I left that event feeling inspired and motivated and would love to see more organizations do the same to create these safe spaces for women to learn and grow alongside one another. If you’re a woman who would like to be part of the movement, here are some things you should be doing: 1. Consider Mentoring 2. Amplify Voices 3. Build NetworkS 4. Advocate for Fair Policies 5. Celebrate Success 6. Practice Empathy and Support 7. Lead by Example Let’s all be the change we want to see. Congratulations Sandy, you’re doing special work for the community and they appreciate you for it. What are you doing to empower, uplift and support other women? I’d love to hear how others are showing up to support our future leaders.

Empowering Women in Business In the hustle of breaking barriers and setting new benchmarks, it’s crucial we talk about not just surviving, but thriving as women in business. I've seen firsthand the challenges and the triumphs. It's not just about making it on your own — it's about lifting as we climb. Here's to the incredible women shaping the future of industries across the globe: Know your worth, master your craft, and never doubt that you belong at the head of that table. Leadership isn't just about taking charge — it's about knowledge, resilience, and the guts to push through those glass ceilings. Let’s keep the discussion open. Share your stories, support your peers, and remember, empowerment is contagious. Pass it on!
