LeadHERship Global

Welcome to this week’s LeadHERship Global show where we will be discussing “How to be an Ally” with Deanna Singh, one of America's leading experts on transformational leadership and a highly regarded leader in the field of diversity, equity and inclusion. You know, we're taught to believe that hard work and dedication will lead to success, but that's not always the case. Gender, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation are among the many factors that affect our chances and it's up to each of us to be allies for those who face discrimination. Today, we’re going to talk about how to support people who are underrepresented in the workplace. There's no magic wand for correcting diversity and inclusion. Change happens one person at a time, one act at a time, one word at a time. In fact, it doesn’t take a special skill or talent to be an ally for marginalized groups. Anyone can do it. In fact, people of marginalized groups can and should be allies for each other as well. What is an ally? An ally recognizes that though they are not a member of a marginalized group(s) they support, they make a concerted effort to better understand the struggle of another’s circumstances. Listen in to this week’s podcast with Deanna Singh, author, speaker and Founder and Chief Change Agent of Flying Elephant, an umbrella organization for four social ventures!

The research on purpose is very impressive. There are health benefits galore. Purpose strengthens your immune system. People with a sense of purpose are less likely to experience a stroke or become addicted to alcohol and drugs. Having a sense of purpose even cuts your risk of Alzheimer’s disease. When you live a life of purpose, you’re more efficient, and you delegate better. Best of all, a sense of purpose is linked to a longer, healthier, more satisfying life. But, what does it mean to live a purposeful life? Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” In other words, to live a purposeful life means more than merely seeking adventure and pleasure. A life of purpose is a life of meaning. It’s a life where the deep yearnings of our heart and soul are met, where we’re connected and engaged with those around us. If you’re living mindfully and intentionally, you discover the purpose in each interaction. Fulfilling the yearning to connect, to matter, or to make a difference helps us to feel fulfilled and satisfied. Without purpose, people tend to be unengaged and not all that present in your day to day life. So, how do we get more purpose? How do we bring the benefits of living a purposeful life into our own lives? Today, Cathy Dimarchos, global business advisor and an award-winning mentor, will talk with us about how purpose can bring us into the moment, and create ripple effects for generations to come!

The highest-performing teams have one thing in common: psychological safety — the belief that you won’t be punished when you make a mistake. Studies show that psychological safety allows for an open exchange of ideas, creativity, and risk-taking, — just the types of behavior that lead to market breakthroughs. It’s about creating an environment where it is safe and encouraged to express diverse ideas, solutions and innovative thoughts without fear of reprisal. Psychological safety is key to high performing leaders, teams and organizational success. We become more open-minded, resilient, motivated, and persistent when we feel safe. One of the main obstacles to psychological safety in the workplace is the lack of awareness about how to create the right environment. So how can you increase psychological safety on your own team? Today, we’re talking with Ruthann Weeks is the Founder and CEO of Harmony in the Workplace about creating healthy, respectful and harmonious corporate culture to attract and retain next generation talent in a global economy.

Warren Buffet funded a $2 billion foundation for each of his children. Gloria Vanderbilt received a trust worth $36 million when she was just 15 months old.

While biorhythm theories have been present since ancient cultures, including those that practiced natal astrology, most theories are based on cycled periods – twenty-three days (physical/male), and twenty-eight days (emotional/female). The physical, or male, cycle relates to coordination, physical energy, strength, and overall well-being. Twenty-three days in length, the cycle supports more awareness of times for optimum exertion and time for rest and recovery. The emotional, or female, cycle is a 28-day cycle centers around creativity, awareness, and emotional sensitivity and can be helpful in managing depression or other mood disorders.  Whether we’re aware of it or not, humans operate on a delicate biorhythm of various cycles, from the physical, intellectual, intuitive, spiritual, to even the aesthetic. Biorythms can be thought of as the body’s holistic mathematical system that can predict, or when studied, consciously control certain aspects of one’s life such as high performance, creativity, and emotional receptivity. Biorhythms are “invisible waves of energy within the human body that are constantly in flux.” Considered unique to each person, these energy levels are thought to begin the moment we are born. But how can you leverage your biorhythm to achieve peak performance as a women?  Kayla Osterhoff has dedicated the last several years of her career to researching women's neuropsychology. Her investigative efforts into the brains and minds of women led her to a major discovery about the female biorhythm and how it provides women with unique cognitive and leadership abilities. Kayla is now dedicated to sharing her research discoveries to empower women leaders around the globe!

Sometimes, building wealth has more to do with mindset than it does strategy. Your relationships, living situation, career, earnings, debt, and lifestyle are all the result of your thoughts. You are worthy of all the abundance and gifts this life has to offer. You were meant to be here and to discover your fullest potential. Your job is to remove the blocks and limitations the world has thrown at you. Cultivating an abundant money mindset happens over time as you become more self aware and learn to embrace new, creative, positive thoughts about what your future brings. As you become more self-aware, you’ll begin to notice the thoughts that limit you. They are small and faint, and sometimes difficult to identify.

Good leaders often possess a combination of various “leadership qualities,” such as creativity, motivation, vision, and empathy. However, the most successful leaders are able to adapt to the needs of different situations, employing their diverse set of leadership skills in order to achieve their goals. Traditionally, the idea of feminine leadership is used as a kind of shorthand for an approach that places an emphasis on empathy, humility, and relationship dynamics in business practice. The result can deliver a more considered—rather than impulsive—decision-making process and subsequent action. Traits such as sensitivity, supportiveness, gentleness, warmth, cooperativeness, expressiveness, modesty, humility, empathy, tenderness, and being kind, helpful, devoted, and understanding have been cited as stereotypically feminine. But, Feminine Leadership belongs to all of us. It is a state of being that recognizes and understands the power of connecting, learning, sharing and evolving as a leader. Feminine leadership creates space for unique creativity, inclusiveness, collaboration and supportive competition. Those that step authentically into their feminine when leading are able to demonstrate insight, kindness and the desire to energetically connect to and unlock true potential in others. Success is who you already are; it's your state of being. What you achieve is driven by your success, not the reverse. Listen in today to live and achieve far beyond what you may have thought possible by simply unleashing who you truly are. Simple, profound, impactful. Listen in as Leeza Carline Steindorf explains the definition of feminine leadership and the fundamentals of purpose, performance and creating the ultimate life!
