🌟 Celebrating Two Remarkable Women 🌟 Today, I want to take a moment to celebrate two incredible women who have made a monumental impact on my life both professionally and personally. 🌱 A Safe Haven for Ideas We don't catch up daily or even weekly, but the handful of times a year we do speak, our conversations are magic. We bring ideas to life, and in doing so, we grow, too. 💡 Bouncing Off Ideas It's not just about venting or aimless talking. Our discussions are idea factories. Whether it's career advice, project brainstorming, or personal development, the dialogue is rich and purposeful. 🛠 Actionable Strategies What makes these relationships even more valuable is the action that follows. It's not just about talk; it's about doing. Each conversation culminates in strategies we can immediately put into practice. It's like having a personal board of advisors who help chart the best course forward. 🌈 Creating Space We’re not just mentors and mentees; we're co-pilots in each other's life journey. So, here's to the two women who have been pillars of wisdom, fountains of inspiration, and, above all, great friends. You know who you are. Thank you for being you, being honest, and continuing to push me and others forward. Cheers to more growth, more ideas, and more shared successes. 🥂 #mentorshipmatters #womeninrevenue #womeninbusiness #support #networking #mytribe

➡️Two simple words that have made a massive difference for me… 💫ASK & YES 💫Just ASK and Say YES because you won’t know unless you ask and you won’t know where a yes could lead you. When you say yes, you are open to possibility, you are open to what if, you are putting yourself out there and you’re taking action. 💫I truly believe that whatever comes your way is for a reason, the people you meet, the signs you see the moments you find yourself in. 💫Yesterday I went to an event for female founders organised by the lovely Debbie Caruana & Ashleen Kelly at Vinson & Elkins for the purpose of supporting women as part of International Women’s day. ➡️I met lots of amazing women and although I have no idea where any of the conversations I had will lead me, it felt so good to be there. 💫To be in a room with women who have taken risks for doing something they believe in and for showing up for themselves every single day as business owners. ➡️But here’s the thing, I never would have been there had I not asked. 💫There is so much power in connection, building relationships and supporting one another. You never know where your next conversation could lead you, maybe it's not even directly with the person you’re speaking to but they might know someone who could help you or know someone else who could. 💫 So be brave, just ask, what have you got to lose? You just never know where it could lead you, who you might meet or what’s around the corner. 💫Perhaps nothing comes of it right away but be open to the possibility of what could be, be open to all the doors that are opening for you, even if you don’t know it yet. x #womensupportingwomen #femalefounders #womeninbusiness #sayes

🌟 Every woman has a story to tell, and it’s time to celebrate their journeys and the inspiration they bring! 🌟 In a world where women are breaking barriers and shattering glass ceilings, the stories of their journeys deserve recognition. Each woman has faced unique challenges, triumphs, and setbacks, and it’s these experiences that make their narratives truly inspiring and empowering. From building successful businesses to rising up in male-dominated industries, women continue to prove their strength, resilience, and determination. Their stories not only serve as a testament to their individual achievements but also as a source of motivation for others. Sharing these inspiring stories is crucial because they have the power to empower women across the globe. They remind us that in the face of adversity, we can rise above and achieve greatness. By hearing about the challenges others have overcome, we can find the strength to push forward in our own journeys. Every woman’s story may be unique, but the common thread that runs through them is the spirit of perseverance and the refusal to let circumstances define one’s potential. By embracing and celebrating these stories, we create a supportive environment where women feel encouraged to dream big and reach for the stars. As professionals, leaders, and allies, it is our responsibility to amplify the voices of women and provide platforms for their stories to be heard. By doing so, we not only inspire others but also foster a more inclusive and diverse society. So let’s take a moment to reflect on the power of every woman’s story. Let’s recognize and celebrate the victories, the lessons learned, and the remarkable journeys that shape who they are. Together, we can inspire and empower each other, paving the way for a future where women’s stories are heard, respected, and embraced. If you have an Inspiring story or have you been inspired by a woman’s story, share it with us! Let’s continue uplifting and empowering one another. #WomenEmpowerment #InspiringJourneys #EveryWomanHasAStoryToTell Dr. Neera Gupta

Finding the right balance between received advice and intuition is tricky. But once you nail it - you become unstoppable. 🚀 That’s why we love this advice from Molly George: “You should always seek guidance and advice - and then ignore at least 75% of it.” Your journey is uniquely yours. It's essential to trust your instincts and carve your own path. ✨ _____________ The Wednesday Women team and mission is supported by Commsor 🦕 - building a human-first future for business, networking, and success. Enjoyed this post? 💜 Help us amplify the voices of outstanding women with likes, comments, shares, and follow Wednesday Women to meet more inspiring women weekly. 💜

WOMEN WITH GUMPTION I had several conversations last week with fabulous, vibrant, effervescent women in business. I asked them how they’d ended up doing what they do. As I listened to their back stories it gave me a deeper understanding of them and their why. Like myself, and so many of the women I speak to there had been a defining moment, a “storm”, that had led to them becoming self employed. “When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person that walked in. That’s what the storm is all about.” Haruki Murakami They are what I call women with gumption. Rather than allow the storm to break them they made good, came out the other side and are now thriving. These are the type of women who are are the perfect fit for the FAB Business Club – resilient, strong, determined and compassionate. Fabulous, authentic and ballsy – we’ve all been through our storm, learned the lessons and bring a depth of experience to the table. It blows my mind to think of the collective skills, knowledge and wisdom in our membership. Imagine being part of that supportive community! It’s just FAB-U-LOUS. For a feeling of sisterhood like you’ve never experienced before you’re welcome to try out the vibe of one of our online meetings 7th or 21st Sept, for free. Ask me about a complimentary golden ticket. How about you? Did you have a “storm” that led you here? #networking #womeninbusiness #professionalwomen

Women supporting women is not just a phrase; it's a powerful movement: When we come together, share our stories, and lift each other up, we become an unstoppable force. We are not competitors; we are allies, walking the same path toward success. Ann's session today illuminated how important it is for women to unite, share their experiences, and support one another. Today, I had the privilege of attending the Women With Vision Networking event at the Kettering Park Hotel & Spa, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. The event revolved around empowering women and smashing those invisible barriers holding us back. The guest speaker from Google, Ann W., delivered a powerful session on a topic that resonates with many of us: Imposter Syndrome. She spoke about the importance of overcoming this self-doubt, especially given its prevalence among women in the workplace. 🤯 Ann's words were a revelation: She reminded us that the feeling of not being 'enough' is often a result of societal expectations and self-imposed limitations. In a world where we face countless obstacles, from gender bias to unequal opportunities, our unity becomes our strength. When we stand together, we shatter those glass ceilings, we inspire the next generation, and we redefine what it means to be a powerful, capable woman. The Women with Vision networking event wasn't just about networking; it was a celebration of the power within each of us. It was a reminder that, as women, we possess the tenacity, the intelligence, and the resilience to conquer any challenge. Imposter Syndrome might knock on our doors, but when we answer it together, it has no choice but to retreat. So, let's carry the momentum from this event into our daily lives. Let's remember Ann's words and support the amazing women we meet everyday. Together, we can empower ourselves and others to rise, thrive, and lead. We are the change-makers, the visionaries, and the dreamers, and we are unstoppable. To all the women out there, remember that your power is boundless! #WomenEmpoweringWomen #UnleashYourPower #TogetherWeRise 🌟👩🤝👩💪🚀

We have a lively chat going with Akiko Chinju, Jun Masuyama, Tracey Northcott, and Heather Dobbin, ACC as we’re preparing for Saturday’s Roundtable: Learning From The Failures Of Successful Women. I asked them, as our superstar speakers and marvelous moderator, to answer these two questions to share with you: 1. What is one tip you can share for women's success?  2. What is one thing that participants can look forward to from what you’ll share in the Roundtable? Here are their answers: Akiko Tip: Even in the face of failure, maintaining hope will empower you to rebound and emerge even stronger. Look forward to this: From my personal experience, I've come to realize that everything you need becomes available: a place to live, financial means to support you, and challenges to help you grow. Jun Tip: “Now or never!” Thanks to this mindset, I was able to break that chaos I was in. Look forward to this: Being able to change yourself is actually a wonderful thing. Tracey Tip: Always tell the truth and show up as your whole self - flaws and all. You are more relatable and your struggles are often your clients struggles. Don’t think you need to have a perfect image like the influencers on social media as they are a different business model. Look forward to this: If the absolute worst thing you can imagine actually happens, telling the truth is the best way to ride it out. Plus that your true friends and supporters will have your back. Heather Tip: If you’re really living in your zone of genius, that’s going to have a variety of impacts on people. Some people are going to find it attractive, and some people are going to react negatively for reasons beyond your control. Be mindful, remain open and curious, stay in integrity with yourself, and keep shining in the way only you can! Look forward to this: Marvelous moderation presence that allows these three ladies to share in an authentic, impactful & inspiring way! Woah! These answers were much more than I anticipated! And my guess is that our event on Saturday will bring much more than we can all imagine - especially in terms of our key themes for The #LessEffortMoreImpact Movement for Women in Business: Connection - fantastic opportunities to connect with growth-minded and uplifting women in Tokyo Care - care for yourself as you devote your time to attend, care for the other women in the room, and their care for you! Courage - you’ll certainly see this from our superstar speakers and marvelous moderator. And I’m guessing others will show courage as they step out of their comfort zones and share their stories. Wow, this is going to be good! If you haven’t signed up yet, there’s still time. And it’s a bigger venue, so we have space! Yay! Find out more and sign up here: https://lnkd.in/gAYqAc8T

As I Figure Out Life! 😊 In recording a video for International Women's Day, I found myself navigating a familiar yet often unspoken journey: where to focus. Much like in life, I faced the challenge of deciding where to set my gaze. With each of the 12 takes, I experimented, adjusted, and adapted - a process that resonates deeply with the experiences of women worldwide. This small act of creating a video is a metaphor for the larger journey of life. We women constantly find ourselves in a trial-and-error process, be it in our careers, personal lives, or social roles. Each attempt, much like each take of the video, might not be perfect, but it's a step forward - an opportunity to learn and grow. The camera lens can be daunting, and so can life's choices. But as I finally found the right angle and focus for my video, it reminded me that with patience, resilience, and a willingness to keep trying, women everywhere are figuring out their paths. They are adjusting their focus, finding their voice, and making their mark. The beauty of life lies not in perfection but in the journey of figuring it out – a journey that we embrace every day, making each step a celebration of progress and strength. Happy Women's Day!!! ❤️ #AsIFigureOutLife #InternationalWomensDay
