She and Dr. Alisa emphasize the importance of conducting a values audit to gain clarity on personal priorities, especially in environments shaped by capitalist structures that often conflict with women's deeper values.Their conversation highlights the necessity of strong support systems, strategic career development, and permission to evolve. Laverne's approach encourages women to question outdated definitions of success, embrace authenticity, and build careers aligned with purpose, fulfillment, and well-being.This episode is a must-listen for women navigating change, seeking clarity, or redefining what success means in today's demanding world. It offers wisdom, grounded strategy, and emotional insight for anyone on the path of professional reinvention.

In this episode of the Growing with Purpose podcast, host Jean Moncrieff sits down with Megan Gluth, CEO of Catalynt, for an honest conversation about resilience, self-awareness and leading with steadiness in uncertain times. Megan shares her journey from an “accidental entrepreneur” to the leader of a merged, $100M business. She reflects on how growing up with limited resources shaped her resourcefulness and scrappiness, and how personal loss led her to a new beginning in the Pacific Northwest and eventually into the world of chemical distribution. Through acquisitions and a commitment to unity, she merged three companies into one culture-driven organization: Catalynt. Together, Jean and Megan explore what it means to build a supportive company culture rooted in honesty, trust and truth-telling. Megan describes her daily mindfulness practice, her approach to equanimity during crisis, and the importance of grounding leadership decisions in real data rather than noise. She also speaks candidly about the isolation leaders can face, the unique challenges women encounter in leadership roles, and the power of community and independent advisors. It's a thoughtful and grounded conversation about resourcefulness, courage and the lifelong journey of cultivating self-worth as a leader.

Salma Abassaly is the co-founder and managing partner of CERTIS LLC. Born and raised in Paris, she moved to the United Arab Emirates in 2007 and built a career that spanned luxury hospitality, corporate services, managing children's play areas, and leading leisure facilities before becoming an entrepreneur. CERTIS LLC is a UAE-based inspection and certification body that serves rides, attractions, and leisure facilities, pairing technical rigor with real-world operational insight. In this interview, Salma talks about inspections and certifications, relationship capital, and normalizing diversity. Inspections and certifications “We work with leading operators regionally and we ensure their rides meet international standards and we offer them an end-to-end approach from concept design to installation inspection as well as their ongoing operational audits and inspection.” Salma explains that CERTIS LLC provides an end-to-end approach, from concept and installation inspections through ongoing operational audits and periodic inspections. Her own operator background means she “speaks the language of the operators,” helping clients see an inspection body not as a cost or constraint but as an ally that aligns perception and reality through standards. She and her partner, Fadi, intentionally balance operational fluency and technical rigor so there is “no gap” when addressing client concerns. She also emphasizes credibility as foundational. Accreditation was the stamp that allowed CERTIS LLC to demonstrate quality, reliability, and transparency from day one, opening doors with regional leaders and setting a bar the company intends to uphold as it grows across the region and into emerging markets. Relationship capital “I think the transaction is the ultimate accomplishment of the relationship through the company, but before that, there's the relationship.” Relationships are not just a tactic for Salma; they are a metric of success. She prioritizes availability, consistency, and nurturing human connections beyond business, noting that trust built early makes hard conversations possible when inspections surface issues clients would rather not hear. To protect the partnership at the heart of CERTIS LLC, she and Fadi even engaged in proactive relationship coaching at the company's founding to set ground rules for how they would show up, disagree, and decide together. That investment sustains a culture of collaboration with each other and with clients, where long-term partnership matters as much as revenue. Salma adds that surrounding yourself with people who are “smarter than you” elevates outcomes and turns competition into collaboration. Growth, she says, is rarely linear; persistence, shared purpose, and strong partners win over time. Normalizing diversity “The goal is not really to highlight gender, but more to normalize diversity.” Reflecting on often being one of few women in boardrooms, Salma argues that representation fuels aspiration and that women's leadership brings emotional intelligence, resilience, and collaboration that benefit teams and guests alike. Her advice to women entering the industry is to lead as their authentic selves, not by copying stereotypically male behaviors. She hopes her daughter's generation won't even need to notice whether there are two women in a meeting, because diversity will simply be normal. Salma also shares her experience of the UAE as dynamic, opportunity-rich, and safe, with visible commitment to entrepreneurship and women in leadership. That environment, she says, has enabled her to turn vision into reality and to scale with clarity of purpose.   To connect with Salma directly, reach out to her on LinkedIn, and to learn more about the company, visit the CERTIS LLC website.

In this episode of Clover, I sit down with the brilliant and wildly accomplished Tina Sharkey for a conversation that honestly feels like three masterclasses in one: community-building, career design, and the future of human connection in an AI-driven world.Tina walks me through her very non-linear career path—from hanging out in her mom's New York fashion office as a teen, to an unexpected pivot into tech and investing, to co-founding iVillage, bringing Sesame Street online, scaling BabyCenter globally at Johnson & Johnson, and launching community-first CPG brand Brandless. Through it all, she shares how she's always brought the same “toolkit” with her: storytelling, community, curiosity, and a deep belief in creating products and experiences with people, not just for them.We also dig into her current work at USC, where she's teaching and backing Gen Z founders, experimenting with GenAI in the classroom, and thinking deeply about what makes us “divinely human” in a world of powerful machines. Tina is both optimistic and clear-eyed: AI can unlock a new kind of renaissance—but only if we protect literacy, critical thinking, and real human connection. And for women in leadership, she shares some tough-love truths about putting your hand up before you feel “ready,” finding hidden doors, and making your career a relay race—not a solo sprint.Conversation highlights:From fashion floors to technology boardrooms How growing up with a single, career-focused mom in New York's fashion world gave Tina early exposure to women in leadership—and how one moment in an investor's office completely rerouted her from fashion into tech, media, and investing.Inventing “social media” before it had a name Tina shares the early days of iVillage, why chat rooms and message boards were so revolutionary, and how she coined the term social media to explain this new kind of community-driven content to advertisers and partners.Building iconic brands through community We walk through her roles bringing Sesame Street onto the internet, scaling BabyCenter into a global platform (including the birth clubs so many of us relied on), and designing Brandless as a community-led, access-first CPG brand.Serendipity, hidden doors, and saying yes Tina talks about the role of serendipity—from chance meetings in offices and delis to unexpected board roles—and how being open, curious, and willing to ask respectful questions has shaped every major career inflection point.Humanity as our moat around the machines Tina shares her framework for thinking about AI: why she uses it as a collaborator, not a replacement, and why our empathy, soul, and lived experience are the “moat” that machines can't cross.Gen Z, consciousness, and going “punk” on attention From her vantage point teaching at USC, she talks about how Gen Z is already pushing back on screen addiction, what excites her about their creativity, and why reclaiming our own consciousness is non-negotiable in an AI world.Literacy, equity, and the stakes of this moment Tina opens up about the crisis of literacy in the U.S., how reading levels are tied to incarceration rates, and why democratizing access to education and healthcare is a core part of her mission.Real talk for women in leadership We close with tactical guidance: stop waiting until you've “done the job” to go for it, bring your authentic self everywhere you go, surround yourself with people who are brilliant at what they do, and remember that careers are built in teams and relay races—not through hero moments.Connect with Tina on LinkedIn (her most active platform), Instagram,

she had to handle the situation alone.Hu: Zsófia gondolkodott, hogy kinek delegálhatná a feladatot, de senki más nem volt olyan jól felkészült, mint ő.En: Zsófia thought about whom she could delegate the task to, but no one else was as well-prepared as she was.Hu: "Ne add fel!En: "Don't give up!"Hu: " - biztatta magát.En: she encouraged herself.Hu: Végül döntött, hogy vállalja a kockázatot, és mégis elindul a találkozóra.En: In the end, she decided to take the risk and set off for the meeting anyway.Hu: A nagyvárosi forgatag közepette végül megérkezett a megbeszélés helyszínére, ahol már várta a leendő ügyfél.En: Amidst the bustling metropolis, she finally arrived at the meeting location, where the prospective client awaited her.Hu: Előkészítette az anyagait, és bár a gyomra görcsbe rándult, bízott magában.En: She prepared her materials, and although her stomach was in knots, she trusted herself.Hu: A prezentáció simán indult, a hallgatóság figyelt és érdeklődött.En: The presentation started smoothly; the audience was attentive and interested.Hu: De hirtelen a leendő ügyfél, egy határozott kérdést intézett hozzá.En: But suddenly, the prospective client asked her a firm question.Hu: Zsófia szíve hevesen vert, és egy pillanatra habozott.En: Zsófia's heart was pounding, and she hesitated for a moment.Hu: Az eddigi kudarcai az emlékei előtörtek, de gyorsan összeszedte magát.En: Her past failures came rushing back in her memory, but she quickly pulled herself together.Hu: "Meg tudom csinálni" - gondolta.En: "I can do it," she thought.Hu: Bátor szavakkal válaszolt, részletesen megmagyarázta a terveit és azok előnyeit.En: She responded with brave words, explaining her plans and their advantages in detail.Hu: Lassan, de biztosan visszatért a magabiztossága.En: Slowly but surely, her confidence returned.Hu: A kérdések sorra érkeztek, de sikeresen vette az akadályokat.En: The questions came one after another, but she successfully overcame the challenges.Hu: Végül az ügyfél elégedetten bólintott.En: Finally, the client nodded with satisfaction.Hu: Zsófia boldogan, de fáradtan lépett ki az irodából.En: Zsófia stepped out of the office happily but tiredly.Hu: Tudta, hogy kemény munkája meghozta gyümölcsét.En: She knew her hard work had paid off.Hu: A késő őszi levegő most frissítően hatott rá.En: The late autumn air now felt refreshing to her.Hu: Ez az élmény nemcsak az önbizalmát építette, de megerősítette abban, hogy készen áll a jövőbeni kihívásokra.En: This experience not only built her confidence but also reinforced her readiness for future challenges.Hu: Miközben hazafelé sétált, látta, ahogy a boltokban és az utcákon az emberek már a karácsonyra készülődnek.En: As she walked home, she saw people in the shops and on the streets already preparing for Christmas.Hu: Mosolyogva gondolt arra, hogy idén talán magabiztosabban vághat neki az újévi kihívásoknak is.En: Smiling, she thought that perhaps this year she could approach the New Year challenges more confidently as well.

In this episode, I'm diving into something that might ruffle a few feathers (don't worry, they needed ruffling anyway): the difference between being a boss and being a leader. I recently sat on a “Women in Leadership” panel at a conference… and let's just say the conversation swerved hard into “boss” territory real quick. Add in a real-life run-in with a narcissistic business owner (no names, don't even ask

Send us a textYou committed to speaking up more in meetings. You lasted three days. Now it's been three weeks, and your inner critic is convinced you don't have what it takes to lead at the next level.Sound familiar? Here is the truth that changes everything:You do not have a capability problem. You have a recovery problem.Most leaders think the key to success is discipline—never falling off the wagon. But the reality is that executives fall off just as often as middle managers. The difference is speed. A middle manager takes three months to recover; an executive recovers in three hours.In this episode, I am breaking down exactly why you keep starting and stopping your professional development initiatives, and I'm introducing The Quick Recovery Method—a 4-step framework specifically designed to help you stop the shame spiral and build real momentum.In this episode, you will learn:The "Discipline Myth": Why relying on willpower to stay consistent is a guaranteed strategy for failure.The 4-Step Framework: How to use the "Recognize, Reframe, Replace, Restart" method to get back on track in minutes, not months.The "Bridge Thought" Strategy: How to bypass toxic positivity and find the specific thoughts that actually move you into action right now.The Black Friday Trap: Why buying another planner or leadership course won't fix your follow-through problem (and what actually will).If you have a graveyard of half-finished goals and are ready to stop beating yourself up for being human, this episode is your reset button.Resources & Links:Book a Complimentary Leadership Clarity Call with Kele About Your Host:Kele Belton is a communication and leadership facilitator, coach, and speaker who specializes in helping women leaders develop confidence and impact through strategic communication and practical leadership frameworks.Connect with Kele for more leadership insights:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/Website: https://thetailoredapproach.com

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Visibility without purposes is vanity. "Maybe no one is coming to rescue us from ourselves, we better rescue ourselves" - Carl Sagan. A compass is a tool of navigation, it requires movement and skill to orient yourself to your true north. Pendulums don't swing to the middle and stop. They've got to swing from side to side to find equilibrium. A leadership model shouldn't have an attachment to gender or nation or skin color or religion. Leadership is on behalf of many.     RESOURCES MENTIONED: Compass Program - https://dattnergroup.com.au/compass/ Bringing women together from all walks of life, across all sectors, and at every career stage, Compass supports and encourages organisations and individuals to develop their and others unique leadership qualities, while empowering them to implement change at work, home, in community and globally.   Homeward Bound Projects - https://homewardboundprojects.com.au/ Homeward Bound is a ground-breaking, global leadership initiative, set against the backdrop of Antarctica, which aims to heighten the influence and impact of women in making decisions that shape our planet.     ABOUT OUR GUEST: Fabian Dattner is the founder and CEO of Dattner Group, a leadership consultancy specialising in sustainable cultural transformation, executive development, senior leadership development and working with women.

Send us a textThere is a massive difference between being polite and being strategic.Most women leaders are courteous. They say "thank you" and acknowledge hard work. But most miss the specific leadership opportunity that separates middle management from executive leadership: Strategic Appreciation.Real influence isn't just about delivering results; it's about building a network of professional goodwill that becomes currency when you need it most. When you shift from generic gratitude to specific, impact-focused recognition, you stop being just "nice" and start positioning yourself as a leader who understands outcomes and elevates the people around you.In this episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele breaks down exactly how to use strategic appreciation to strengthen relationships and build your leadership brand. With Thanksgiving week approaching, there is no better time to implement this low-stakes, high-impact strategy.In this episode, you will learn:The "Polite vs. Strategic" Trap: Why generic "thanks for all you do" emails are noise, not leadership, and how to shift your approach.The 5 Categories of Influence: The specific people you need to appreciate this week (including the one category most women overlook).The 3-Part Framework: A simple formula for writing recognition messages that land with impact and make you memorable.Career Positioning: How this 10-minute practice signals executive presence and gets you advocated for in rooms you aren't in.Next Steps:This Week's Assignment: Identify 3-5 people from the categories discussed in the episode and send them a message using the 3-Part Framework before the holiday break.About Your Host:Kele Belton is a communication and leadership facilitator, coach, and consultant who specializes in helping women leaders develop confidence and impact through strategic communication and practical leadership frameworks.Connect with Kele for more leadership insights:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/Website: https://thetailoredapproach.com

Send us a textReady to name the fear behind a big career leap? We start with the uncomfortable truth: stepping into leadership is hard when you've rarely seen anyone who looks like you survive and thrive there. That honesty opens a wide-angle look at credibility, negotiation, and why “director” should be a strategic choice, not a trap. You'll hear practical pay tactics, a clear-eyed read on gender politics, and a call to claim the audacity usually reserved for the loudest voices in the room while anchoring everything in real delivery.We pivot into brand strategy with a surgical breakdown of Fenty Beauty, LVMH, and the “core asset test.” What happens when a revolutionary launch becomes industry standard and the parent company cares most about Sephora and Dior? The answer matters to every founder: positioning must live beyond a single hook, and product lines should pass the test of whether they strengthen your core. Still, Rihanna's two-billion-dollar empire stands as a masterclass in ownership, reminding us that downside cycles don't erase value when you build for longevity.Authenticity in entrepreneurship gets a frank treatment access, capital, and networks change the starting line. We separate story from spin so creators can plan with clarity. Then we look outward: a UN spotlight on persecution in Nigeria, the Sahel's power realignment, and why humanitarian language can mask resource strategy. Closer to home, we press on London's EV congestion charge and how shifting justifications erode policy trust. Finally, we talk about the UK's curriculum overhaul AI literacy, oracy, and media scepticism to prepare young people for a world where synthesis beats rote learning. And yes, we celebrate the launch of Sister Scribble, a premium stationery brand designed to bring back tactile creativity and intention.If this conversation pushes you to ask better questions about your next move career, company, or community hit follow, share with a friend who needs the nudge, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

Welcome to the Saltbox Church Podcast. We desire to lead people to become fully surrendered disciples of Jesus. On our channel, you'll learn how to read and understand the truths of the Bible from Pastor Michael Mattis and other members of our teaching team. You can expect to walk away with a deeper understanding of the things of God, but challenged to live a surrendered life. We cover topics such as the will of God, mental health, women in leadership, Christianity vs. other faith traditions and many other in-depth studies of scripture. -------------------------------- Scripture & Literature References:  Luke 6:27-36, Rev 19:11-16, Micah 6:8 & John 18:19-24 -------------------------------- CONNECT: Small Group Questions ► https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s6dmpowgcp_oGdOvzB-HzyzLyAGTlTQR/view?usp=sharing LinkTree ► https://linktr.ee/saltboxchurch Website ► http://www.SaltboxChurch.com Podcast ► https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

Few topics create more confusion and division in the Church than this one. Why does one church celebrate women leading and preaching, while another says it's forbidden? And more importantly, what does Scripture actually say? This week, we're leaning into both the tension and the truth. From Genesis to Revelation, God never designed hierarchy; He designed harmony. Yes, there are difficult verses. But when we read the Bible responsibly, within context, culture, and covenant, we see a clearer picture: Jesus empowered women, the Spirit equipped them, and the early Church released them. God's design doesn't erase distinction; it restores it. And when men and women lead together under the lordship of Christ, the Church reflects His image more fully.

Luke gives special mention to the women among Jesus' ministry team here at the beginning of chapter 8. Passages like this one, among others, are crucial for understanding the affirmation of women in leadership and the role Jesus intended for women in his Kingdom. We use Luke's acknowledgment of their partnership here to address other passages that have been widely misused to limit and exclude the necessary contributions of women in ministry. This message is from our Sunday morning service on November 9th, 2025.We meet at The Simon (957 Main St., Louisville, CO 80027) on Sunday mornings at 10am.Connect with us:kindredchurch.co@kindredchurch.cofacebook.com/kindredchurch.co

Ben and Tommy discuss President Trump's threat to invade Nigeria to stop a (nonexistent) genocide against Christians and the international community's total failure to stop an actual genocide happening in Sudan. Also covered: why Trump's pitch to restart testing of nuclear weapons might be his worst (and scariest) foreign policy idea to date, why FBI Director Kash Patel's trip to visit his girlfriend is getting slammed by right-wing commentators, the uproar in Israel over a torture investigation, election wins for left-wing candidates in Ireland and the Netherlands, Trump's overtly racist refugee policy, and the final nail in the royal coffin for Prince Andrew. Then Ben speaks with Sanna Marin, the former Prime Minister of Finland, about the double standards women in leadership face, and her new book Hope in Action: A Memoir About the Courage to Lead.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
