⌛🗣️ Last call for #IAmRemarkable and Quietly Brilliant Brand! - See how self-promoting benefits others, not just you. Often, we hesitate to self-promote, worrying it might come across as boastful or selfish. ➡️ But what if we viewed it through a different lens? Self-promotion, when done right, isn't just about singing your own praises—it's a strategic tool for empowerment and inspiration. 📽️ In my latest video, I delve into how advocating for yourself isn't just about personal gain—it's about setting benchmarks, inspiring growth, and paving the way for others, especially women in leadership. 🗨️ Let's start a conversation on the positive ripple effect of recognizing and valuing your achievements. 💬👇🏻 Share in the comments what resonates with you and remember, whatever you do, keep showing up for you.

Often people join or leave organizations because of their manager. One that promotes personal growth, gives space at the table for every voice to develop our strategic priorities so that we are ALL invested, and is a people-first leader while working closely with our HR team and other Execs to make the company an employer of choice….that’s mine. She is why I am at R&Q. Check her out below. Who is yours? #leadingbyexample RISE Professionals

Outstanding Women in Leadership The American Psychological Association, 2023, shares with us that, "When women are empowered to lead, everyone benefits. Decades of studies have shown that women leaders help increase productivity, enhance collaboration, inspire organizational dedication, and improve fairness." Unfortunately, the fact remains that despite this, just under 11% of Fortune 500 companies are led by women. CBHA is proud to share that we see women. We recognize women for their strength, steadfastness, and individuality. Their commitment to work, creativity, innovation, family, and fairness. We honor and admire women who inspire us through transformational leadership. Today, the RESJ Committee is proud to recognize 7 Outstanding Women in Leadership, who embody all the traits mentioned above. Back in March, we asked each woman to share with us a few words about what Women's History Month meant to them as well as which women in their lives have influenced them. It is important that we see and recognize women each and every day, not just during a particular month. Please help us uplift and honor these incredible leaders, as we think about all that has been accomplished by women, and all that is yet to be accomplished. Join us in reading their words: https://conta.cc/3REhNgK

How do combined ratios relate to the celebration of the personal and professional achievements and the societal and cultural contributions of women across the world? That is the very question our Founder, Ngozi Nnaji, asked the audience as she presented to the members of Elephant Insurance's Employee Resource Group, #ROSIE, and its allies, during their Women's History Month SymROSIEum last week. The answer? By using the same same strategies to manage the risk of others to ensure a combined ratio under 100% and establish #PROFITABILITY, we as female insurance professionals can also manage our own risk, our "self-care" ratio. 1. Aligning our outputs with our inputs. Making sure the losses we pay (our outputs - physical health, mental well-being, and overall happiness) get "replenished" with the premiums we receive (our inputs - time, effort and energy). 2. Understanding our boundaries. Just as insurers must manage claims to maintain profitability, we as women must set boundaries to protect our physical and emotional health. Saying no is akin to managing claims to keep the loss ratio in check. 3. Efficient resource allocation. The expense ratio in insurance reflects the efficiency of resource allocation. Self-care involves allocating resources effectively to activities and practices that promote well-being. Ladies, as you celebrate Women's History Month, ask yourself.....Are you profitable?? #WHM #insuranceprofessionals #Womenadvocatingforwomen #insuranceindustry #insurance #akoinsuranceconsulting

“In this process, clarity is vital. You need to know who you are, what you’re trying to achieve, and what your focus should be. Winning isn’t just about the final outcome; it’s about setting clear goals and understanding how to measure success” Tania Friedlander, LL.B., PCC via She Owns It 🔗Link in comments to the full article. #leadership #leadershipcoaching

❗ ❗ My TEDX talk is out. I feared that it might not be published or could be removed, but here it is. In today's world, attempts to address the unfair treatment of Muslims are often labeled as harmful. Ironically, what's truly harmful is the unfair representation of Muslims in the media, perpetuating stereotypes that lead to a lot of pain and suffering—the effects of this we can see unfolding in our world today… 🌍 Media portrayals of hijab-wearing women often display us as helpless or oppressed, which shapes societal perceptions. It's essential to challenge these narratives because let me tell you, I know countless hijab-wearing women who are influential leaders and highly educated. 👀 In my talk, I discuss the biases, sometimes subtle and sometimes not, affecting how people perceive and interact with me. From being underestimated or people feeling uncomfortable around me because they think I judge them to facing outright aggression… 🚀 Despite these challenges, I choose to wear the hijab proudly. It's a symbol of my personal freedom, a choice to focus on my message rather than appearance. 🙌 Grateful for the platform to share my story and hopeful that it sparks conversations to challenge stereotypes and promote inclusivity. I could not have done it without the best TEDxAmsterdamWomen coach, Barbara Rogoski, support system Karen Oldhoven, best friends Faisa Awad and Somya Bouzaggou, and the crazy guy in the streets (who knew our encounter would end up on TEDx, right? XO). https://lnkd.in/dBVSeaNk #TEDxTalk #InclusiveLeadership #WomenEmpowerment #BreakingStereotypes #FemaleLeadership
