At The Quorum Initiative, we’ve created  a safe space where women can be their authentic selves in order to evolve into the amazing leaders we want to be.  It was wonderful to have two extraordinary leaders, Ellen M. Hunt and Daphne Kis to kick off the HOW Forum for a discussion of “HOW Roles Are Evolving: The Workforce of the Future.” 🟩Speak about your superpowers often to bolster self worth and avoid the confidence gap 🟩Don’t just express your needs - for stretch projects, a flex schedule - at work. Forge a path forward with a proposal for change. Say something like, “In order to be productive and deliver my work, I have a proposal for you…let’s try this for 6 months and revisit it.” 🟩During performance reviews, speak to your personal career development goals How have you made yourself heard at work?

SeaChange was just named the 8th largest women-owned business in the Twin Cities. How did we get here? Our CEO, Wendi Breuer, shares a few thoughts in our latest blog post.

I truly appreciate the recognition from the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC)...obviously this is not purely an individual award but rather one that shows the collective commitment and dedication of the entire Constellation IT organization. In a world where technology is continually transforming the way we live and work, it is crucial that we ensure the transformation is inclusive. Initiatives to empower minority businesses are not just about social responsibility; it’s about driving innovation, fostering creativity, and building a stronger, more diverse business ecosystem.

Working with incredible women who have a vision for a better future, is one of the most satisfying things I do. Supporting them to create a life and career that helps them create the impact they want AND thrive, is the best feeling. Six months of coaching voxxer support between sessions means you get the level of accountability you need to get the things done. You don't have to use it if you don't need it, but it is there. Having a space to validate your thoughts and feelings, for it to be ok to prioritise your own needs, is deeply transformational. So, if you're in leadership or business ownership, and the wheels are starting to fall off and you want a safe space to reconnect to your needs, then reach out. It could be the thing that helps you change your life.

Check out this webinar featuring our National Director, Audrey Copeland. A great leader and transformational thinker in our industry!

Dream Big! If there were no limits, what board would you serve on? We know women don’t apply for positions unless they know they meet 100% of the qualifications. How many boards are we turning away before we even see a position because we don’t think we are qualified? It is time to leave that type of thinking behind! Join our 6-week Corporate Board Readiness cohort starting April 12th to meet the board directors, experts, and senior executive women who will help you get that board seat. Board directors like Britt Ide, Millicent Tracey, Sue Harnett, Shelly Lombard, and Catherine Calarco will teach you how to target those dream boards and you’ll identify your path to board seats. Take the plunge and get that dream board. https://lnkd.in/gV6kTzHC
