 We have to build a bigger influence up, down, and across, in all of our relationships.Cate Luzio, the founder and CEO of Luminary, a global professional education and networking platform addressing and impacting the systemic challenges faced by women throughout their professional journeys. Luminary now includes a 22,000 sq. ft. space in NYC and a virtual network.The world still operates differently for boys and girls. Women are smart and capable but often don't fully believe in their abilities. While women are breaking down barriers, many of these barriers are internal. Overcoming imposter syndrome requires an “action-oriented” approach, along with subtle shifts in language and mindset. Using “I deserve” rather than “I need” brings up the confidence and that is crucial for becoming a visible role model who inspires others. Our leadership sets the tone for collective growth and support—finding win-win relationships and moving away from competition with other women is key. Cate's experience with Tiffany Dufu illustrates how competitive situations can turn into opportunities for mutual growth.It is time to embrace your achievements unapologetically, and find a community where you get the support that you need and where you can also provide support for others. Show notes:

Why is it important for women to have safe spaces to learn, connect, and talk about taboo topics normally not discussed in your typical social settings (aka how much money you make) when it applies to your professional life?  Why as women, is it so hard for us to find communities where we feel comfortable sharing our challenges and struggles around work/life issues and not feel shamed for our choices or decisions? In my conversation with Cate Luzio, we addressed all of the above and MORE juicy topics around harnessing the confidence to show up more authentically in all aspects of life and how investing in yourself is the BEST money spent, yet the hardest to buy into. Cate Luzio spent two decades in financial services leading global multibillion-dollar businesses and many of the institutions' women's networks. During this time, she recognized a lack of investment and development of talent in the female pipeline. In a sharp career pivot, she set out on a new mission to help women see a path toward advancement by arming them with the tools, resources, and community to propel them to the top. In 2018, she launched and self-funded Luminary, a membership-based career and personal growth platform and collaboration hub created to address the systemic challenges impacting women across all industries and sectors. Luminary is the ultimate career advocate, uplifting and upskilling women through their professional journey by providing a vast ecosystem of expert-led thought leadership programs, as well as in-person and virtual workshops and events.

You can't make progress without analyzing where you are, what's in and out of your control. The SWOT analysis is a framework that's commonly used to determine the viability of a business idea. Cate Luzio uses it as a way to assess individual careers. It answers questions like what are your super powers, where do you need growth, and it forces you to anticipate volatility in your industry. This is a great place to start if you're unsure about how to even think about your NEXT.

Cate Luzio spent two decades in financial services leading global multibillion-dollar businesses. During this time, she also led many of the institutions' women's networks and saw the disproportionate number of men to women and women of color in the senior ranks. She recognized the problem was a lack of investment and development of talent in the female pipeline, rather than a lack of talent itself. This observation sparked a new direction for Luzio's own trajectory. In a sharp career pivot, she launched Luminary, a gender inclusive, global professional education and networking platform created to address the systemic challenges impacting women across all industries and sectors. Luminary's mission - and Cate's - is to help women and our allies see a path forward by arming them with the tools, resources, and community to navigate their paths -- regardless of their professional journey.   Cate had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “I wanted men to be part of the conversation, learn from the conversation, be educated” (7:20). “If I can help empower all [not just women], then that's the best-case scenario” (7:40). “Our mission is to advance women in the workforce regardless of professional journey” (8:05). “We are a join now community. There's no application… I don't want to be exclusionary; I want to be inclusionary” (10:00). “For a male, there's a lot of opportunities to get involved [with Luminary]” (11:30). “I wanted all voices around the table” (13:25). “We've got to make sure more and more men are attending our workshops and conversations” (15:50). “If you feel like this is a community for you, be a part of it” (16:50). “I didn't learn in my career by being part of one group. I learned by being parts of lots of groups and big organizations” (22:30). “There's a program out there for everyone. You've got to individualize it” (22:40). “As a businessperson, you have to be open to all ideas” (25:45). “I have always taken risks in my career” (27:00). “You can't control everything” (29:10). “You have to be okay with [the fact that] you don't know everything” (29:25). “When I'm backed against the wall, I'm going to continue to come out swinging” (31:00). “If somebody tells me no, I look at that as a maybe. I'm a relentless person that will never give up if I believe in something (31:10). “Our careers are not static” (33:55). “I look at everything through a return-on-investment lens” (41:45). “You've got to have boundaries” (43:10). “I want my experiences, the experience I've taken from others, what I've learned, to impact someone else” (48:40). “Whether 500 people walk away with impact or 1, it doesn't matter to me. Because someone is walking away with impact and actionable advice they can apply to their life” (48:45). “There's never a full replacement for being in real life” (52:05). “People just want to connect” (52:45). “It's the customer's choice, and as long as we're adding value and impact they will stay” (54:50). “Everything we do is taking feedback and listening, and then making those decisions, because if it's our way or the highway it will not work” (58:10). “I look at everybody as a potential mentor and coach” (1:05:30).   Additionally, you can find the Luminary website here.

Cate Luzio spent two decades as a corporate banker—in 2018, she pivoted. With the goal of supporting women in their career journeys, Cate founded Luminary, a NYC-based professional networking space. Emily chats with Cate about her experience self-funding Luminary and how the community-centered business weathered the pandemic. Then, Luminary member and fellowship winner Gwen Beloti speaks to the close-knit community's benefits. Listen in to learn how you can expand your business and network.

After two decades as a successful banking executive, Cate Luzio realized she wanted to do something with bigger impact. She quit her job and self-funded Luminary, a membership-based career and personal growth platform with the mission of uplifting and supporting women through all phases of their professional journey. In this episode she sits down with Women on the Move host Sam Saperstein to discuss her journey as an entrepreneur, how she pivoted and thrived during the pandemic, and what she's learned about the issues professional women across the country are facing. Jumping into entrepreneurship—and meeting a pandemic In 2018, after stints in high-level roles at Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and HSBC, Cate says she realized she had been involved in a lot of initiatives around investing in women and talent development, but “I just wasn't seeing the numbers and the needle move fast enough.” Knowing she wanted to focus on those issues, she quit her job without even knowing what exactly she would do. With the encouragement of a mentor from JPMorgan, Cate took the time to step back and think about what she really wanted to do. Soon she had a business plan that she was able to self-finance by leveraging her lifelong savings, and she launched Luminary in early 2019. Luminary was initially conceived as an in-person meeting space to help advance women in the workforce. But less than a year after the space opened in New York City, the pandemic brought in-person events to a screeching halt. Knowing she had to be ready for anything, Cate and her team set about examining expenses, contacting vendors, and re-defining their plans. “I look back at my original business plan, and there was not even a word of digital or virtual. It really was about that physical connection,” Cate recalls. “But what I realized pretty early on in the pandemic was it wasn't about physical, it was about connection.” Involving men in the gender equality journey In the end, the pandemic and resulting switch to online experiences didn't stop Luminary's growth. Cate says they've done more than 2,000 events, workshops, and programs since March of 2020, and have over 1,500 hours of content from all of these sessions. “We're working with thousands of women around the world and now male allies,” she tells Sam. “So that's the model. And then we work with great corporate members like JPMorgan Chase and many others to really invest in the women internally and get them access to, yes, bigger networks, but [also] additional learning outside of what they're getting within their company.” From the beginning, Cate knew she didn't want to exclude men from Luminary. “The future of women in the workforce cannot evolve, progress, change without the support and assistance of men,” she notes. “And so I wanted to create a really inclusive environment, and that's why we don't have an application process. I want people to walk in physically or virtually and feel like this is a space where they can be themselves, thrive, learn, connect, develop.” Capacity constraints, defining success, and other top women's issues Cate says one of the top issues facing women today is what she calls “capacity constraints.” By that, she means the common barriers such as time, transportation, and childcare, but also the ongoing tension between the messages that women get about success. “Women in particular are constantly being told, do a great job . . . that's how you're going to get promoted,” she says. “But at the same time, you better find mentors, you need to have a bigger network, you need to invest in your skills.” And the growth of remote and hybrid work has meant that there are even fewer boundaries between work and personal life. In the end, she says, it comes down to women not being able to “fit it all in.” A related issue Cate discusses is the ongoing pressure for women to be leaders, and to aspire to the c-suite. She'd like to see more of an emphasis on women defining their own vision of success. “[We] absolutely need more women in the c-level,” she tells Sam. “But not everybody should be at that level, and nor do they want to be. You can still have a phenomenal career and still invest in your skills and still get paid and still do well at your definition of success.” “Most women that I know are very driven and ambitious,” she continues. “They want to feel valued, they want to be acknowledged, they want to be recognized, they want to be paid, and they want to be able to have opportunities. And I think we have this incredible sense of guilt if we're not meeting everyone else's standards.”   Full Transcript here 

After a two-decade successful career in finance, Cate Luzio decided to bet on herself and become an entrepreneur.

The pandemic has been rough on everyone, but women in particular have suffered as they try to juggle Zoom calls with their endless responsibilities at home. More than two million American women have left the labor force, and many struggle to return due to difficulties finding care for children or elderly parents. And it's not just working moms: Younger women are also leaving employers who fail to provide flexibility, meaningful work and opportunities for advancement. Right now honest, real-world career advice is in short supply, and that's where Cate Luzio comes in. Her professional growth network, Luminary, provides women in more than 30 countries an opportunity to grow, learn and meet others.       Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

Encore release from 2020. Cate Luzio spent over 15 years in corporate banking and during that time she observed a lot of women's careers stalling - not from a lack of desire to advance but from a lack of knowledge and resources to help them advance. As Cate learned to navigate networking, new skill development and speaking up for opportunities, others - both men and women - took notice and sought out her guidance. Before long Cate realized she had a desire to do more; to share what she knew with more women across many industries, not just banking. Enter her launch of Luminary, a collaboration hub for women-identified who are passionate about professional development and expanding their networks. Just over a year in and Luminary has recruited the support of major businesses including Unilever, WW (formally Weight Watchers), JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, to name a few. In late February of 2020 I sat down with Cate in her New York location to chat all things women and career advancement. Some questions we tackled for this episode include: What are the building blocks for advancement? How can women help one another succeed? Why is it imperative women get comfortable raising their hand for new opportunities, even if they don't have the experience? And my personal favorite, why must women start talking openly about money? In mid March of 2020, with the outbreak of COVID-19, Cate was forced to pivot Luminary to a fully virtual/digital hub. She and her team took the challenge head on and have excelled. If you're a woman looking for resources to help you grow your career, this podcast points you in the right direction. To learn more about Cate and Luminary, visit www.Luminary-NYC.com.

If years in investment banking taught Cate Luzio anything, it's that big risks equal big rewards. Cate entered the world of finance without any formal training in the subject, and rose to lead thousands of employees in multibillion dollar ventures worldwide. Despite a fantastically successful career, Cate couldn't picture herself in finance for the rest of her life. Her desire to make a meaningful impact led Cate instead to form Luminary, a membership-based career and personal growth platform and collaboration hub created to address the systemic challenges impacting women across all industries and sectors. At Luminary, those who are women, women-identifying and allies are invited to create a seat, pull up a chair and support one another in changing careers, starting something new, or advancing on their current trajectory. With a special emphasis on supporting caregivers, women 50+ and people of color, Luminary aims to put more women in the workforce in positions that cultivate happiness, fulfillment and success.

Founder and CEO of Luminary, Cate Luzio (pictured), and Carey Shuffman, head of the Women’s Strategic Client Segment in UBS, discuss the UBS x Luminary Fellowship Program, which aims to support businesses owned by women of colour who have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. It does so by delivering them the tools needed to rebuild, maintain, manage and grow their companies.

This week's guest is Cate Luzio, founder and CEO of Luminary. Cate recognized that good mentors helped her excel during her 20 years in financial services, but found that most women lacked that same support. This, combined with her passion to invest in talent, inspired her to start Luminary, a collaboration hub for women to develop, network, and connect. Can we change the workplace culture that derails women's success? Is a "piece of the pie" mindset holding us back? How do we collaborate rather than compete? We're talking all this and more on this episode of How She Does It.  IG: @CateLuzio Website: https://www.luminary-nyc.com/

Pandemic Pivot with Luminary Founder and CEO Cate Luzio

Today's episode, we have a great chat with Cate Luzio, founder of Luminary, an awesome collaborative hub here in NYC and digitally around the world. We talk about how Cate went from a successful career in banking to launching Luminary the space and community in less than 2 years. We also talk how they were quickly able to pivot when Covid hit and create a new digital community that's helped them thrive. The importance of community now more than ever is imperative, for women at every stage of our careers.

Cate Luzio is the founder of Luminary - a collaboration hub for a diverse community of entrepreneurs, freelancers, and women leaders in business and the nonprofit world. Cate shares the importance of business plans and how to keep your focus when everything you plan on suddenly changes. Learn to master your mindset and thrive in your business during difficult times.

To say that the last four months have been a challenge for me as an entrepreneur is truly an understatement. The degree of immensity of the problems I’ve had to address and the speed at which I’ve had to address them have left me with a lot of battle wounds. When you’re in the bunker, though, it’s always nice to have other people to inspire and help you see through it and Cate Luzio is one of those founders.  Cate is founder and CEO of Luminary, a premier collaboration hub in New York City for women and women-identified who are passionate about professional development and expanding their networks. Cate joins me today to talk about what the last four months have looked like for her and how she plans to lead her business to an even stronger place, despite all of the challenges.

For Cate Luzio, founder and CEO of Luminary, a collaborative hub and co-working space for professional women centered around learning, gathering and connecting, what keeps her going is the mindset she learned from her father: “just walk it off.” Cate had a successful career in international banking and at one point was told to slow down because it made her colleagues look bad. Cate wanted to make a bigger and broader impact, which led her to write the business plan for Luminary and launch this unique space for women. After just one year, Luminary has grown by more than 600 members plus some 30 corporate members and pivoted to digital membership during the quarantine without missing a beat. Cate joins scaling coach Julia Pimsleur to share her journey, including: how she learned that, as an entrepreneur, you have to run your own race; why her experience with IVF inspired a determination to have an impact and, ultimately, led to creating Luminary; and, how having parents who were an FBI agent and a teacher made Cate who she is today.

Cate Luzio spent over 15 years in corporate banking and during that time she observed a lot of women's careers stalling - not from a lack of desire to advance but from a lack of knowledge and resources to help them advance. As Cate learned to navigate networking, new skill development and speaking up for opportunities, others - both men and women - took notice and sought out her guidance. Before long Cate realized she had a desire to do more; to share what she knew with more women across many industries, not just banking. Enter her launch of Luminary, a collaboration hub for women-identified who are passionate about professional development and expanding their networks. Just over a year in and Luminary has recruited the support of major businesses including Unilever, WW (formally Weight Watchers), JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, to name a few. In late February I sat down with Cate in her New York location to chat all things women and career advancement. Some questions we tackled for this episode include: What are the building blocks for advancement? How can women help one another succeed? Why is it imperative women get comfortable raising their hand for new opportunities, even if they don't have the experience? And my personal favorite, why must women start talking openly about money? In mid March, with the outbreak of COVID-19, Cate was forced to pivot Luminary to a fully virtual/digital hub. She and her team took the challenge head on and have excelled. If you're a woman looking for resources to help you grow your career, this podcast points you in the right direction. To learn more about Cate and Luminary, visit www.Luminary-NYC.com.

Before long Cate realized she had a desire to do more; to share what she knew with more women across many industries, not just banking. Enter her launch of Luminary, a collaboration hub for women-identified who are passionate about professional development and expanding their networks. Just over a year in and Luminary has recruited the support of major businesses including Unilever, WW (formally Weight Watchers), JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, to name a few. In late February I sat down with Cate in her New York location to chat all things women and career advancement. Some questions we tackled for this episode include: What are the building blocks for advancement? How can women help one another succeed? Why is it imperative women get comfortable raising their hand for new opportunities, even if they don't have the experience? And my personal favorite, why must women start talking openly about money? In mid March, with the outbreak of COVID-19, Cate was forced to pivot Luminary to a fully virtual/digital hub. She and her team took the challenge head on and have excelled. If you're a woman looking for resources to help you grow your career, this podcast points you in the right direction. To learn more about Cate and Luminary, visit www.Luminary-NYC.com.

After a two-decade successful career in finance, Cate Luzio decided to bet on herself and become an entrepreneur. As the Founder and CEO of Luminary, she self-funded a collaboration hub for women who are passionate about professional development and expanding their networks. In this episode, you'll hear how Cate mastered the "boys club" of finance, created her own "whisper networks" and wrote the business plan for Luminary in a week. You'll also learn the importance of socializing your ideas, how to develop a thick skin, and why you shouldn't apologize for being the boss.

This week on 'The Success Diaries' we welcome Cate Luzio, founder of the New York based co-working community Luminary. Cate shares how her journey of success has evolved from a successful corporate career in finance to being a self-funded business owner and entrepreneur.

Cate Luzio, Founder of Luminary, steps onto the New York Launch Pod to discuss her woman-focused collaboration hub right in the heart of Manhattan. Luminary offers a unique co-working and networking space for women of all professions to build their careers through hosted events, notable speakers, and a variety of amenities that are all designed make the Luminary space feel like a second home. Before starting Luminary, Cate was the Executive Vice President and Global Head of Multinational Corporate Banking for HSBC managing approximately $2 Billion in revenue and teams across 72 countries. But through her experience in banking, Cate began to notice that many organizations hosting networking events and panels for women did not foster the sense of community or offer a space for daily social gatherings that allowed women to build the relationships that are important to success in the workplace. So to fill this gap in the market, Cate left banking and ambitiously self-funded Luminary to fill the gap in the market. Luminary offers a mix of formal and informal events, amenities including a gym, a "living room", and a window lined rooftop dubbed the "glass ceiling". In this episode we talk about the need for a women-led and women-owned space for career development, the sense of community that is so important to the brand, and Cate Luzio’s decision to build Luminary in New York!

I have been out of the country for some much needed re-charging, so Brennen had been holding down the Goal Magic Fort - many thanks and props to Brennen for his help and partnership! Every time I take vacation it becomes a way for me to make space to reflect on my life path and purpose. On this last trip, I came to see that I really want to make a difference in this world - not only by helping people get unstuck but by creating a career infused with meaning so I have been reaching out to my network to get projects where I can dig my heels into my own intention. I think so many of us have that feeling that our life’s purpose is bigger than the career we may currently be in, which is what happened to Cate Luzio who founded Luminary, a collaboration and co-working space specially designed to support women. Cate went from being in the world of big banking to going all in and self-funding Luminary, which was her brain child and has become her passion and has very much defined her next chapter.

So often we hear about startups taking investor dollars, or venture capital, or taking on debt to start a business. Our show today highlights one woman, Cate Luzio, and how she, thanks to her consistent savings over the years, afforded her own way to launching her business and becoming an entrepreneur. She just decided a year ago to launch Luminary; a new collaboration hub in New York dedicated to providing women with a beautiful and functional space to work and grow their network. Prior to forming Luminary, Cate was the Executive Vice President and Global Head of multinational corporate banking at HSBC. There, she was responsible for roughly $2 billion = in revenue and teams globally in 55 countries. Cate and I discuss the impetus for her transition into entrepreneurship. We also talk about the reasons behind what seems to be a stagnant level of women in the workplace since the 1980s. Also, couldn’t let her go without asking her about some of the money memories from childhood that shaped her perspectives today.
