Become the female role model for the future generation of women leaders!

4/4/2019

Why are women not rising to the top as equally as men in nonprofits? Because we are not! Here are the statistics in Canada's Nonprofit"
  • Women make up approximately 75% of the workforce in our nonprofits organizations
  • Yet, women hold only 40% of top leadership positions in our nonprofit organizations
Hmmm, does something about that not quite sit right with you?

What is holding women back?
  • Some women don't want the roles at the top as they can't balance work and life in a way they want.
    • But what if there was more flexibility offered? Would that change their desire for leadership positions?
  • Some women are not offered the positions, despite being equally or more qualified than their male counterparts.
    • But what if collectively we called for gender equity? Would more women be able to advance?
  • Some women are less qualified because they've taken time off to have children and raise their families, so they have less experience and perhaps fewer credentials.
    • But what if there was a way to catch up, or keep up?
Charity Village recently is offered a free webinar in which the Ontario Nonprofit Network (ONN) shared key findings from their recent report Decent Work for Women and the 10 solutions ONN is working on. This session was relevant across the country as we all work together to change things.

Change though, won't come from a report. It will come from action. The challenge is, that many women continue to feel oppressed, bullied and lack the confidence to step forward.
We need to take this part into consideration as well:
Before many women are ready to come forward, they need to develop their courage and confidence. For many women, they will do that when they find their authentic leadership style and owning it. ​
​It's about leading with confidence to be ourselves.
We need to become the female role models for the future generation of women leaders
For far too long we've been mentored by men, had male role models and seen bits of success by acting like men leaders, but feeling like frauds. That inner turmoil between who we really are and how we want to lead with how we think we SHOULD lead has cost us our confidence, career advancements and quite frankly, our sanity.

You know I have been a strong advocate of leading aligned with your values, belief, morals and ethics. I've also been known to get on my soapbox more than once about how you need to do the inner work to get there. Well, back up on the box I get....

MY RANT:
Here is the thing, my dear, authentic, compelling, impactful and enjoyable (yes, you can enjoy your role) comes when you are "in character" not out of character. When you are "acting" like someone you are "supposed" to be, you'll continue to find that you feel overwhelmed, under-appreciated, and lack meaning in your work.
  • INSTEAD, a leader with strong character leads with authentically with their natural traits, their values and leads with integrity 

I'm so passionate about this that I've devoted this month's webinar to helping you compete authentically with men for the leadership position and respect you desire by learning to lead with your leader character.
DO THIS:
  • Understand why leading with your strength of CHARACTER is essential!
  • Learn how to develop 3 key CHARACTER traits crucial to effective leadership
  • Feel like you have a plan to learn to lead with more confidence and CHARACTER!
THIS WEBINAR IS NOW OVER however can be accessed when you become a member of The Training Library
Not convinced character is critical for you? Let me ask this:
​

Which list of Character Traits do you aspire to?
List # 1 - Words from your employees:
  • She is so cold. 
  • I can’t trust her.
  • She’s unreliable.
  • She is so dishonest.
  • She is condescending and demeaning.
List # 2 - Words from your employees:
  • She is fair.
  • I love her honesty.
  • She is a woman of integrity.
  • I appreciate her ability to be decisive. 
  • She has such determination and persistence.
Character matters, BIG TIME!

    Women leaders often hit a point where they find themselves in over their heads and wondering if they have what it takes to lead.
    ​
    ​In my online courses and coaching I teach them inner and outer tools to restore their lost confidence so they can move from surviving to thriving in both leadership and life.
