On this episode of NOW Woman Talks, Dr. Tina interviews Dr. Arleen Westerhof a global iconic leader born in Jamaica who moved to Toronto at a young age. They discuss the challenges of leadership, asking for help, and stepping out of one's comfort zone. The importance of surrounding yourself with people who challenge and stretch you is highlighted, as well as the significance of calling out the greatness in others. The conversation also delves into the concept of 'economics of mutuality' as a management innovation for businesses and using purpose as a starting point for solving problems for society, people, or the environment.

Gold Nuggets shared: - Surround yourself with people who challenge and stretch you, even if they have different beliefs or backgrounds.

Acknowledge someone's strengths and successes to empower them and bring positivity into their lives.
Purpose is emphasized as the starting point for businesses to identify the problem they are meant to solve for society, people, or the environment.

-Don't ever think that your business or your idea is too small...always look at how can that idea be developed into something that actually is not seeking to fulfill an opportunity, but it's seeking to solve a problem."

On this episode of NOW Woman Talks, Dr. Tina Allton, the President & CEO of Nations of Women, dives into the self-image and personal growth side of leadership. She emphasizes how recognizing one's value first before adding value to others is important as a leader, and how every aspect of our lives is affected by our self-value judgments. Gold Nuggets : - As leaders, it's crucial to recognize our own value first before adding value to others. Our self-image has a significant impact on our psychological development and motivation, which in turn affects our leadership.

Limiting self-image can be a barrier to performing to our fullest potential and living in our purpose. Dr. Allton stresses that we should invest in personal growth and self-awareness in order to overcome this barrier.
Developing oneself requires believing that we are worth the effort, time, and energy needed. We tend to spend time developing other things or people, but not ourselves. The value we place on ourselves is often reflected in how others perceive and value us.

-The Importance of Honesty with Yourself: "If you're honest with yourself, you will be able to be honest with other people. But if you're not honest with yourself, it's going to be pretty hard and almost impossible to be honest with other people."

Today we are breaking the mould on what leadership means especially for the woman in leadership.

When women become leaders, they provide a different set of skills and imaginative perspectives. More importantly, female leaders bring structural and cultural differences to the table, which drive effective solutions. This creative standpoint and unique sense of awareness will also allow them to study and uncover the finer details that may be missed by others. Dr. Tina shares some very practical things with us so that we are able to introspect and know where we are leading from Compassion, impact, etc.

Gold Nuggets:

When we fail to make decisions it can have an impact on generations to come.
Leadership is not about titles and positions it is being able to influence and make decisions that will be beneficial for future generations.
Women are compassionate yet have command.
Leadership is about inspiring and influencing people.

Why Are Communication Skills Necessary for Good Leadership?

Leaders must be good communicators because they inspire and empower people around them, and without good communication skills, a leader would never be heard or understood by others. Therefore, effective communication is an important non-technical skill that every leader must possess. Possessing communication skills for effective leadership is not limited to words; non-verbal action behavior also plays an important role. It is believed that non-verbal cues are an important part of effective communication skills. Therefore, a leader must work on their body language and non-verbal cues while interacting with employees to ensure that their message is rightly conveyed to the team.

On today's episode, Dr. Tina shares very practical steps for every leader and basically, everyone who wants to grow in their communication skills.

Gold Nuggets:

Effective Communication is more than just speaking clearly or slowly.
Do not interrupt people when they are speaking, allow them to finish.
Keep it short and simple
Your body language and the tone of your voice are very important when speaking.

Being your authentic self in the new year is very important. As Kim would say, "I think if I had to say one thing to anyone it would be to really enjoy living their lives, just be, you know who you are, live and be the authentic you. When you're authentic, people will trust you. You'll have great relationships, long relationships, and you'll find that when you work with people, you help them discover the potential that's already inside them and help draw it out". Lead by example. As a leader, your actions and behaviors can have a big impact on those around you. Set a good example by living up to your values and beliefs and by being true to yourself. Don't be afraid to be vulnerable. It's okay to admit when you don't have all the answers or when you're struggling with something. Being vulnerable can help to build deeper, more meaningful connections with others and can also help to create a more open and inclusive culture.

Gold nuggets shared:

I find that people are drawn to me because I'm authentic because I'm me.
If you have those negative people around you, move away from them. Do everything you can to position yourself with people that are like-minded and when I say like-minded, they don't have to be like you, but share the same goal as to give and to motivate positively rather than negatively.

These and many more nuggets are available to you on the podcast for today. By leading in your authentic true self, you can inspire others to do the same and create a more positive and authentic environment for everyone.

On today's episode, we are thrilled to have Dr. Linda Wallace. She is the Founder of A Company of Women, a grassroots organization where women are empowered through personal development, coaching, and life skills training.

Gold Nuggets shared:

Can I be the one that would bring a positive word to someone's life to counteract all the negativity that we're confronted by?
Don't look for the negative in others. Look beyond that today and see the potential in the future and be a conductor of safe environments for other people.
You just have to really be intentional about cultivating relationships that contribute to you feeling safe.

Do make time to listen to today's session and your relationships will never be the same in 2023. Remember to share this with your friend, sister and TRIBE, so we grow together and leave no one behind.

This week is Christmas week, and I want to talk to us about the keys to outstanding leadership. I believe that you can always learn something from experience, you can always learn something from an event or anything that happens.

This week I've been reading a book by one of my mentors, John C. Maxwell, and it talks about "heads you win, tails you win". It starts off by looking at a leader called David, he led with the integrity of his heart, which is a pure heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.

And therefore it means that if you think of that as a two-sided coin. You need both sides to make the coin. And it's the same thing when it comes to being a leader, you need to have integrity and skill. So integrity and competence, you cannot have one without the other. You can't be a person of great integrity and have very little competency or skill as a leader.

Likewise, you can't be really well-skilled or competent leader and have no integrity. I think we can tell a leader who has integrity and a leader who does not have integrity. So every leader needs both. You need to have a heart that is full of integrity as well as the skill, art, and competency that it takes in order to lead. If you don't have either of these, it's more or less the recipe for failure.

So here are 11 Keys that would really help you to be a leader of excellence. And it's designed to help you develop your leadership skills, your leadership competencies if you will.

So the first thing that we must consider as leaders even as we are winding down this year and looking ahead towards 2023, I want you to think about this,

Value excellence.
Do not settle for average - its the quickest way to self-sabotage
pay attention to the detail - the process is important
Stay focused - Remain committed to what really matters
Display integrity and sound ethics
Show genuine respect for others
Go the second mile. - Learn to stretch and extend yourself.
Demonstrating consistency.
Always give 100% - Do your very best
Don't stop improving yourself - When you stop growing you die
Make excellence your lifestyle

Which of these keys stands out most to you? I've given you eleven keys here, as you think about your leadership in 2022 and as you're looking forward to 2023, be a leader that values excellence. Don't settle for average. Pay attention to detail. Remain committed to what really matters. Display integrity and sound ethics. Show genuine respect for others. Go the second mile. Demonstrate consistency. Never ever, ever stop improving, always give your 100%. and in addition to underpinning all of this, the greatest foundation and key you can have as a leader is to make excellence your lifestyle.

How do you show up as a woman? Being in the banking sector for over 35 years, you definitely have to show up.

Gold Nuggets shared:

See Challenges as opportunities for growth
Show up as who you are.
It is okay to say "I don't know" sometimes
Recieve yourself, the world will only receive you as much as you receive yourself.

Happy listening. Happy learning. Happy Showing up.

On today's episode, we have Shailee Juneja who is a Healthcare Technology Strategist by trade and a change agent by mission and passion. She works with healthcare organizations globally to leverage technology, to leverage innovation, to create access to healthcare specifically for those who have barriers to access, wherever it's most needed.

Everyone has a different yet special leadership journey to share with us. Shailee tells us about her ambitious plans and how she managed to achieve them before her thirties, which included climbing the corporate ladder to become CEO, earning a six-figure income, and being the youngest executive all while being the only woman of colour at the table, carrying a diaper bag and most of all being the only woman at the table.

In Shailee’s own words “I did that and I reached that goal of what I wanted to become and realized it felt so unfulfilling even though I had my six-figure salary, and my big title. Because what I was missing was how I am showing up in the position of leadership.”!

Gold Nuggets shared:

-Always have a plan.

The plan must incorporate how long the dream or goal will take.

-We all have gifts, make it a point to recognize your gift and its worth and honour it yourself.

On today's episode, we have Micha Jennings who is the CEO of Rhema Radiance.

Rhema Radiance is a rich, hydrating body cream that ensures you’ll love the skin you're in.

My journey into leadership began in a quiet, hidden place over 20 years ago. I was in the marketplace, and I was called out of the marketplace because I had a high-risk pregnancy. So I had a decision to make. Do I want to keep staying in the marketplace and risk my pregnancy or come out and raise a child long-term?

What would you have done if you were in Micha’s shoes? Micha shares a very heartwarming 20 years journey into leadership with Dr Tina Allton. She says to tell you that “Do not let that dream fall to the ground and die. Hold on to the dream. Because that dream could be the answer to someone or the answer to many. Remember that if it feels like you're walking through the night-time, daylight surely will come.

Gold Nuggets shared:

-Do not despise the days of small beginnings.

Staying resilient requires that you know the path you are called to be on.

-Never throw away your dreams no matter how long it takes.

On today's episode, we have Dr. Greg Wallace who is the Chief Academic Officer at Wagner University, a well-written Author of the book Transform- leading from the Power of Identity, and a Transformational Leadership Coach.

Gold Nuggets shared:

-Transformation takes time

Be a leader who influences people to produce good outcomes.

-There is good leadership and bad leadership.

“Did you know that people will only follow leaders they trust, and they will only trust leaders they know? How well do you know your team? And how well does your team know you? And so it really does start with Relationship.” Dr Greg Wallace speaks candidly on leadership and remodelling leadership with a sense of intentionality and authenticity in accordance with one's principles and ethics and not necessarily what has been written in books or shared at seminars.

Books, seminars, and leadership conferences are good, but who are you, who do you want to be, and what leadership style do you want to be remembered for? Leadership that was authentic to you or something generic?

It is time to rediscover your ethics, principles, passion and values to create a life that is authentic to you and your leadership style.

If this is you, join us now and let us get the ball rolling!

My mother looked at me and said, Stacey, don't ever let money stop your dreams.”

This week we will be talking to Mark Whitacre, PhD, the Executive Director for Coca-Cola TFactor about Leadership. The world has come this far in all facets of development because of Leadership. Different personalities adopt different leadership styles, however, each one of us can learn and adopt something from another’s leadership style and journey.

The guiding principle for Mark in his leadership journey has been to:

L- Listen, as a leader, you must develop the art of listening to hear, learn, understand and ultimately make better leadership decisions. We explore how our listening can be impacted as leaders as well as better ways to help you listen well.

E- Empathy: how much empathy is too much? Often being an empathetic leader can be seen as a sign of weakness however Mark proves to us that it is one of a leader's strongest assets... do you agree?

A – Advocate: Respect where everyone is at, don't compare people and speak up for others, be the leader who cheers others on and shows up for others when they need you the most.

D – Develop: The greatest gift you can give to yourself is that of Growth! A leader must seek to develop herself in all areas, a leader also must create opportunities for those you lead to also grow. Are you growing your people as you grow?

S – Self-reflect: Having a safe space to reflect on yourself and a leader is such a valuable thing. Mentorship provides access to the right environment that promotes self-reflection. Great leaders all have mentors, who are your mentors?

Mark Whitacre likes to put it very simply “ What I have learned in these 40+ years journey is that to live a life of Significance is so much more rewarding that living a life of Success”. Yes, Mark Whitacre said that, read it again. I am sure you want to know what prompted him to make such a profound statement.
