FUSE’s Post

🌟 5 life wisdoms I have been reminded of from my latest write-up for the Deconstructor of Fun’s podcast: 1️⃣ It's okay not to be right all the time. Humility and openness to different perspectives can go a long way in personal and professional relationships. 🤝 2️⃣ Mistakes are actually GOOD. Learning from the small mistakes helps you avoid big ones in the future. 🧐 3️⃣ (this one I am personally really bad at) Delegate and ask for help. Knowing when to pass the torch to the right people at the right moment makes a hell of a difference. 🙌 4️⃣ In the heat of a debate, the truth is most likely somewhere in the middle. So true! 🤷♂️ 5️⃣ Feedback is your friend. Let go of grudges and welcome constructive criticism. It's a powerful tool for personal growth and improvement. 🚀 Thanks to Carol Miu for sharing your wisdom and Michail Katkoff for directing the flow into these insightful areas. 🙏 #LifeLessons #ProfessionalGrowth #gamingindustry #womenentrepreneurs #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #podcast

Today, we're excited to share our insightful discussion with Heather H. Bennett partner at Newport LLC.  We had to make a slight adjustment in our planned panel discussion on empowering women for executive roles. Originally, we intended to feature a joint conversation with Beth Hilbing, co-founder of C-Sweet, and Heather H. Bennett. However, due to unexpected travel delays in Chicago, we've had to adjust our format. Instead of a single panel discussion, we'll be presenting two separate conversations.  Among other things, we talked with Heather about are current trends and challenges for today’s aspiring female business leaders. A few of the highlights and suggestions from this engaging conversation: -Trends in the overall job market and specifically for women  -The importance of supporting employees throughout their career lifecycle  -Imposter syndrome as women often feel they must be 110%   -The importance of giving yourself grace when things don’t go perfectly  -Setting boundaries when communicating needs with your team  -Prioritizing networking for your current role and future roles   -Finding multiple mentors within and outside your organization A dominant thread that runs throughout this conversation and all of Heather’s work: Self-awareness and human connection are crucial, regardless of your specific career aspirations. Enjoy the conversation with Heather, and please stay connected! Community matters!

In 2023, 60% of the US population was identified as white. However, by 2045, that number will drop to 49%. So, if your company only targets white Americans, expanding your markets beyond your traditional customer profiles could be a smart idea. But how? In a new episode of 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝘿𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙐𝙣𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙙, Jolene Jang emphasizes that recognizing and fostering diversity and inclusion in your organization is the best way to understand and penetrate new markets. Jolene is an Asian American inclusivity expert working to include the vast and diverse Asian American community in nationwide conversations. She’s a fourth-generation American with Japanese, Chinese, and Swedish heritage. If anyone knows about diversity, it’s her. From her perspective, if you want to be successful in your business, you need to bring different ways of thinking and perspectives into your team. You also have to get to know your target audience, learn a bit of history, and understand other cultures and younger generations. The worth of diversity is immeasurable. Check out a preview below and listen to the full episode to learn more about why diversity is so valuable and what the fastest-growing population in the US is—link in the comments. Q.

New podcast episode today Celebrating Respect with VIP Guest Michael Domitrz https://lnkd.in/g6xjtijj Mike Domitrz, Hall-of-Fame Speaker, Author, Subject Matter Expert, Educator, and Certified Speaking Professional, is the Founder of The Center for Respect, Inc. He has devoted his life to the mission of creating a culture of respect for ALL. You may have seen Mike quoted in NBC Dateline, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal and other renowned publications.

In my podcast interview with Bibigi Haile, MSc., she had an amazing insight at the end I wanted to make sure you heard. She was talking about the fear we sometimes feel as we embark on the journey of becoming more visible. She recommends keeping fear and action in two different boxes that don’t mix. “Feeling fear does not have to keep the action box shut,” she said. And that is so true. You don’t banish your fear as you start raising your hand or opening your mouth or showing up with worth. You can have that fear and acknowledge it. But it’s your job to keep it away from the action of moving forward. This is just one of the powerful lessons Bibigi shares in this episode of Women Changing Leadership with Stacy Mayer. If you want more highly practical strategies that will help you own your authentic, powerful voice and become unapologetically visible, I highly encourage you to listen in.
