Coming up in the next episode of Inspiring Women, I speak with Farideh R. Bagne, Ph.D.,JD.

She’s one of the most brilliant, successful and hardworking people that I’ve ever met. She has an amazing story, with some great insight on resilience. And she’s built this really cool bridge at Magnolia by the Lakes, the gold standard of senior living, a luxury Independent and Assisted Senior Village on the shores of Cass Lake overlooking Sylvan Lakes in Oakland County Michigan. I think you’re going to want to hear about the story about this for sure. 

As Dr. Bagne states…

You know that thing when you look challenge in the eye and you don’t blink and you even have a smile on your face. That’s what we’re going to talk about. So don’t miss out. My advice to you again is, number one, belief in yourself and do not have a defeatist attitude. Always remember that race, national origin, gender had nothing to do with business, science, medicine or whatever endeavor you are planning to do. It is not what others think of you. It is what you think of yourself. And with that attitude, believe that you should have that axiom of your life that truly everything happens for the best. And at the moment that disaster happens. You don’t know what the best is, but believe that somehow it will be and will become one of the best events of your life unless you follow these three acts and you’ll really become successful throughout your life.

Coming up on July 30th is the 7th annual Brady Ware Women’s Leadership Conference.  Each year, 100% of the proceeds go to support women initiatives through non profit organizations within Ohio. This year our supporting non profits are the Better Business Bureau and the Women’s Small Business Accelerator.

This is THE podcast that advances women toward economic, social and political achievement. Hosted by Betty Collins, CPA, and Director at Brady Ware and Company. Betty also serves as the Committee Chair for Empowering Women, and Director of the Brady Ware Women Initiative. Each episode is presented by Brady Ware and Company, committed to empowering women to go their distance in the workplace and at home.

Coming up in the next episode of Inspiring Women, I speak with Jane Meeks. Janet is the author of Gracious Leadership, Lead Like You’ve Never Led Before.  This episode will be in your podcast player Monday June 14th, 2021.

You will love getting the perspective from her because she has lived it, she’s experienced it, and she has an amazing journey as a leader. She’s going to talk from her book, which is such a simple read. Yet there’s some basics in there.

What should we expect from our leaders? You know, there’s an expectation we should have. As Janet mentions…

I also believe that leaders need to be secure enough to understand they don’t have all the answers and that leaders who try to hoard getting the results accomplished are really holding back the organization they need to trust their employees who are subject matter experts and free them, let them lie in the war, if you will, and be all they were created today so they can play at the top of their game. And then that leaves time and room for the person with the big title to be able to take on those difficult tasks that perhaps someone and other levels of the organization cannot.

“Improv, in one sense, is being present in this moment with curiosity instead of judgment and being empowered to know that I have the ability to build something different if I don’t like how it is right now.”

Coming up in the next Inspiring Women with Betty Collins podcast, I talk with Andrea Flack-Wetherald, owner of &Beyond.

She also loves mindfulness practice. Combining the fun of improv with the quiet power of mindfulness is the work she does with her clients. Mindful improv, it sounds scary to a lot of people.

In this episode, you’re going to learn the difference between habits and circumstances. And you’re really going to learn that this not just changing you, but changing culture. And about the stories that we develop in our minds about people, or the company we work for, or the culture we live in.

This episode will be in your podcast player Monday morning May 10th, 2021.

Coming up in the next episode I speak with Erin Hatzikostas, b Authentic inc Founder.

You do not want to miss this podcast. Look for it in your podcast player Monday March 8th, 2021.

Erin has such energy. She’s just got a totally different way of thinking. But she talks and shares with us all about authenticity.

It’s not transparency, by the way. It’s a strategy. It’s contagious and it’s so needed in corporate America today.

Erin really has a great perspective.

She’s got a book that’s out right now, You Do You(ish). And it expands a very cool acronym, H.U.M.A.N.S.

This was probably one of my favorite interviews. I forgot I was interviewing her!

So many people think success is they’ve made it to the C-suite.

The C-suite is not the only success that is out there in your career in business, so I want to talk about that in this episode.

We all have different career goals to achieve success. There’s nothing right or wrong, and success is measured differently by all of us.

Unfortunately, we tend to obsess over our goals and our career. Most of us do. All the career goals and the success you have, whether you’re in the C-suite, or you’re just going to occur in your own world. All of those goals are valid. So, no matter where you are, focus on yours, and stick to yours, and not to others.

What does successful leadership look like? There’s so many definitions out there, but we’re well aware we’re desperate for good leadership.They make others better around them for sure, keeping that positive attitude. 

This is a preview of my next podcast, publishing August 12, 2020.

Successful leadership is all about influence. It’s having followers and getting it done. But doing it on your terms, with your style, is even better. It’s the only way to do it.

“When you have a story — the right story — everything changes. Customers become evangelists. Employees fully engage. Decision-making simplifies. Innovation accelerates.

We go over that in the next episode of Inspiring Women with Betty Collins.  Coming to your podcast player in a couple of weeks.

“Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt” – William Shakespeare

Self-doubt is fed by your inner voice and, of course, is self-inflicted.

If there’s one struggle that I have had in life, it is probably self-doubt. The continual questioning that ends up paralyzing me, which results in me doing nothing and not going forward.

This podcast is very personal, which is probably why it took me a while to write it. It was one of the hardest ones to write.

Finding and owning your voice. Strengthening your inner confidence.

It’s your identity expressing itself. It’s your personality, and it’s your individual message to the world.

I believe that there is power in that feminine voice, and it’s missing in too many conversations. From the business environment – your office, the marketplace, the boardroom, to politics, and in our homes.

In my next episode, I will be going in depth on the steps to take in finding, and owning, your own voice.
