Did you know that confidence predicts success much more than competence? Today, there is a particular crisis for women—a crisis of confidence, which can hinder your success. In fact, there is a vast confidence gap that separates the sexes. Compared with men, women don’t consider themselves worthy of promotions, they predict they’ll do worse on tests, and they generally underestimate their abilities.   A growing body of evidence shows just how devastating this lack of confidence can be. Women don’t feel qualified for advancement opportunities and they hold back on seeking advancement options. Women feel confident only when they are perfect. Or practically perfect. The good news is that with work, confidence can be acquired. Which means that the confidence gap, in turn, can be closed. To talk with us today about how to “Create Confidence for Next Level Leadership” is Heather Monahan, a best-selling author and a TedX and keynote speaker focused on helping leaders create confidence and leapfrog their villains!

Negotiation is a skill that can bring significant value for everyone, yet women are far less likely to engage in negotiations. With good reason. Studies and anecdotes galore tell us that women are often penalized for negotiating. In 2001, only 7% of women negotiated their first salary compared to 57% of men. Labeled aggressive instead of assertive or attracting the dreaded b-word, they fear the process for fear of retaliation. Are women terrible negotiators? No. In fact, as expert communicator and negotiator Fotini Iconomopoulos shares, the opposite is true. Women’s superior trust and empathy skills make them ideal negotiators. Often they just need to work on their confidence and employ some subtle communication strategies to get what they want — without that dreaded label. Listen in as Fotini Iconomopoulos shares her negotiation war stories and how she overcame gender and age discrimination to go on to be the expert that Fortune 500 executives seek out for their high stakes scenarios. You’ll leave with the motivation and confidence and the knowledge to tackle your next negotiation with ease! —> Are you ready to join the most impactful community of extraordinary women in the world? Accelerate your success by defining your vision, growing your leadership, expanding your influence, and leaving a lasting legacy.

According to Kaiser Foundation data, around 49 percent of the country’s total population receive group health insurance – health benefits provided by the employer. The remaining 51% have to figure out their healthcare coverage on their own. This can be a tricky slope to navigate, especially with evolving regulations around state laws. The ACA made sweeping changes to the industry in 2008, but that has only created pools of beneficiaries; not necessarily widespread solutions. Having the support and guidance of a professional advocate in the field can make all the difference to a positive research experience. But, as a business owner and business founder, with a rapidly growing and scaling business, how can you offer the kinds of benefits that attract and retain top talent? And how can you afford health benefits for a rapidly expanding workforce? And, how do you make smart choices for your employees, and your business? Today, we’ll speak with Dr. Noor Ali, a Bangladeshi-American medical doctor who champions the way for business owners and business founder, and creates fresh perspectives on health insurance options from an inside lens. —> Are you ready to join the most impactful community of extraordinary women in the world? Accelerate your success by defining your vision, growing your leadership, expanding your influence, and leaving a lasting legacy.

Creating a high-performing team takes more than simply hiring the right people and arming them with the right tools to do their work. It requires creating opportunities for genuine, authentic relationships to develop. And, its well documented that authenticity contributes to workplace well-being and individual performance – and it lifts team performance as well.  When it comes to building extraordinary workplaces and high-performing teams, three psychological needs are essential: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Decades of research demonstrate that when people feel psychologically fulfilled, they tend to be healthier, happier, and more productive. Members of high-performing teams are significantly more likely to express positive emotions with their colleagues – they are more likely to compliment, joke with, and tease their teammates. In emails, they were more likely to use exclamation points, emojis, and GIFs – deepening a sense of authenticity as well as positive emotional connections. New research suggests that the highest-performing teams have found subtle ways of leveraging social connections – offering important clues on ways any organization can foster greater connectedness — even within a remote or hybrid work setting — to engineer higher-performing teams. Of those three essential needs, relatedness, or the desire to feel connected to others, has always been the trickiest for organizations to cultivate. It’s one thing to attract talented employees — but how exactly do you get them to like each other?

Our emotions can drive our unconscious and conscious decision-making. By developing emotional awareness, leaders can cultivate a focus on the internal motivations creating mindful connections, enhancing professional and personal development and self-leadership. Emotional awareness, or the ability to understand feelings, will help you succeed when communicating with other people. If you are emotionally aware, you will notice the emotional state of other people, which influences the way they communicate. You will also better understand what others are communicating to you and why. Sometimes, understanding how a person is communicating with you is more important than what is actually being said. Empathy is the ability to understand and relate to the feelings of someone else. Once you’ve learned to recognize another person’s feelings, you can go one step further and actually relate to those feelings. Good communication requires you to build trust between yourself and the person with whom you’re communicating. You can earn the trust of others by sending nonverbal cues that match your words.

The biggest gift we can give someone is our presence. Powerful female speakers are distinctive in their presence - the way they enter the stage with confidence and enthusiasm, their shoulders held upright and the look of calm on their faces.

They look polished and professional and they radiate credibility. They embody leadership, confidence and authenticity - and you feel safe and guided in their capable hands.Today, we’re going to talk about women and public speaking.
