In Today’s Episode…

Leaders, in today's episode of the Women's Leadership Mindset Series, I am excited to share another snippet from Love The Success Factor Women's Leadership Conference.

In this episode, I discuss the big deal about Love in the lives of Women and how revisiting the notion that God is Love creates a place of no limitation in our personal, professional and faith endeavors.

Reimagining Love this way is not mainstream and can possibly be controversial. But, it is a gamechanger that can give us a competitive edge to be innovative in business; fully present for our teams and stakeholders; knowledgeable in industry trends; benevolent in our community service and powerful in our leadership!

So as often as you can, always choose Love, for it is truly beautiful for every situation!

About Love The Success Factor…

Over the course of the next few weeks leading into 2024, I look to feature clips from the Love The Success Factor Women's Leadership 2023 Conference!

I am most passionate about this conference because it is a tangible demonstration of how Love empowers Women to lead, create and generate wealth in the fullness of their equality and purpose.

In today's podcast, I share a portion of the conference intro and discuss why it is important for Women to reimagine Love as the key to their success and discuss the power of shifting the paradigm of loving from the "outside in" to loving from the "inside out".

As you prepare to spend time with your loved ones this holiday season and to do all the things you do to show Love to others, I challenge you to work on loving YOU!

Find out what is good about you. Find out what is ugly about you. Find out the stuff you just are not too sure about. Then figure out how to honor the person you are today and how to create room for the person you will become.

Turn on the light to discover the treasures buried in the depths of your soul. Then figure out you can deliver those innovations, solutions and inventions to the world to bring relief to our pain and joy to our hearts.

If you choose to accept this challenge, I would love to learn what you discovered in the comments!!

Women's Leadership Mindset Series featuring Akua Hinds

Akua Hinds

Business Marketer, Journalist & Performing Artist

Introduction

Hi Sojourners! There is power in a strong network of referral partners! Referral partners create direct pathways for us to meet amazing individuals that have the potential to change or enhance upon the trajectory of our lives and/or professions.


One of my former Women’s Leadership Mindset Series guests, Rushuana Beckles of Served With Creativity, connected me with this amazing Woman leader, Akua Hinds! Akua has a passion to help others narrow their focus in dating to acquire pure romance in their lives!

After our warm introduction; connecting on LinkedIn; scheduling a one-on-one and determining how we could partner or collaborate, I was compelled to invite her to share with us just how she serves the world around her!

For those of us that are on a journey to find love, you are going to LOVE Akua’s approach to dating! Check out her powerful message and special gift below!


~Teresa K. Page

How to Be Taken Seriously During Dating

One of the main reasons why people are unsatisfied with their love lives is they do not treat their love lives the way that a Chief Executive Officer treats a business. A business leader knows that she needs to be aware of what is happening in her company and respond quickly to business needs and trends. A business leader knows that she needs to develop a clear plan and follow the plan in order to achieve the business objectives that she wants to meet. Have you put together a plan of action on how to be in your ideal relationship?  If not, you might not ever find it. In order to be taken seriously when you are dating, you first need to take the process of finding the right person seriously. Being too casual about the way you approach your personal life will not help you to find the serious relationship that you crave.



A C.E.O. knows that she needs to show up in her company. When your car gets from point A to point B, it needs to be driven by you.  If you are not steering your car, it is going to stay in a parked position. How are you steering your love life?  This is a question that each person needs to ask themselves when they wonder aloud to themselves about why their love lives are not changing. We each play a role in every relationship that we are in. You are the common denominator of every relationship that you have. And, when you choose the person who will be the co-star in your love life, you are making choices that are based on your past experiences and your current hopes and beliefs.  Some seriously good things happen in your life when you take your life seriously. It is okay to have fun, but even fun moments should be approached with seriousness. Seriously! The first step towards transforming your love life and taking it seriously is to have a seriously soul-searching conversation with yourself and ask yourself what you want your life to look like.



A conversation with yourself about dating is one in which you need to be very aware of what is going on. Remember, your attitudes towards love are shaped by what you have been shown and taught. The main people who were responsible for teaching you about a loving relationship are your parents. If your parents did not do a fabulous job of demonstrating what a healthy relationship is, the good news is that you are not doomed to failure. You can still have a wonderful relationship with your future soulmate. When you were an infant, you did not know how even half of the things that you know now. But look at how far you have come, and you have come so far because you have been willing to learn what you need to know so that you can succeed. You can certainly learn how to be in a positive union if you want to be in one and take action steps to find the right person for you and build the best life for yourself.



Hiring a dating coach or a life coach to help you pursue your relationship goals is one of the best things that you can do. A coach will not solve your problems for you, but a coach can provide you with the tools to help you realize that you are capable of facing your problems and finding solutions that work best for you.  It is best to commit to working with your life coach on a regular basis, at least two to four times per month. However, if you are unable to work regularly with a life coach, seek out opportunities to take part in a coach’s group workshops, especially if relationships are their specialty.  Participating in coaching will help you to track your progress, realize what you want and need, set an action plan, and build skills. As well, your coach will provide you with much needed support.



The first step towards achieving your goals is to simply start. You must do things differently if you want a different result. Falling into the same negative relationship patterns that you repeated in the past will not help you to move forward into a new and more beneficial relationship pattern. Taking a leadership role in changing your life and being the type of person who you want to attract will be life-changing for you. You become like the five people who you spend the most time with. The person who you spend the most time with is yourself.  If you do not take your goals and dreams seriously, then no one else will. Block out all distractions that are keeping you from living the life you want with your ideal mate and do it right now.  Have that conversation with yourself about what you want and then, get started immediately on pursuing the path to taking yourself seriously and doing the things that you need to do.

Women's Leadership Mindset Series featuring Luisa Molano

Luisa Molano

Certified Executive Coach, Speaker & Startup Business Advisor

Introduction

Hi Sojourners! Upon attending a virtual networking event not too long ago, I had the wonderful privilege of meeting my first guest blogger for the 2023 Women’s Leadership Mindset Series, Luisa Molano. After connecting on LinkedIn and scheduling a one-on-one to learn more about how we each serve the world, I was compelled to invite her to share with us how she serves organizational leaders and develops her leadership mindset for success.

In accepting the invitation, Luisa took a courageous step by sharing the eulogy she delivered to celebrate the life of her grandmother who has recently passed away at the age of 95 years young.

With Mother’s Day approaching, many of us will be reminded of our beloved matriarchs that has gone on before us. For those of us that may still struggle with their absence, take solace in the the lessons Luisa has learned on her journey between Love and Loss.

~Teresa K. Page

Lessons At The Intersection of Love and Loss

The inevitability of loss is undeniable - both professionally and personally.

Whether it's a financial opportunity that slipped away, the loss of a client, or even a business goal that missed the mark...

...loss is a part of life - but it doesn't ever have to define us. 

In the end, what does define us?

Is it what we did or didn't do or who we were?

Last Sunday, I laid my grandmother to rest.

And below is the eulogy I shared in front of nearly 50 friends and family in attendance.


A Legacy of Love  

“I was watching a movie the other day, and in one of the scenes, the actor said, “we are meant to lose the ones we love. How else are we supposed to know how much they meant to us?”

That was the same day my aunt asked me to speak to you.

I sat with those words, to be quite honest, unsure of what to say today. 

Because how do you summarize 95 years of life into a few minutes?

You don’t. You can’t.

So my words here are not an attempt to talk about her. They are a humble attempt to describe her legacy.

What makes a woman great?

What makes a woman memorable?

Is it the things she did or didn’t do? 

Or, is it who she was?

My grandmother loved fiercely, spoke bluntly, lived bravely, and laughed contagiously.

In 2020 I decided to call my grandmother every Saturday when I learned she wasn’t leaving her house as a safety precaution against COVID.

Each week, we’d talk about society, health, how she met my grandpa, what she loved to do as a teen, growing up in Colombia, and of course, the news and COVID.

She always had a lot to say about life, but towards the end, she became a woman of few words, so what she said, she really meant. 

In all those conversations, one stood out from all the others. 

I had asked her to tell me one thing that drove her crazy about my grandpa.

Almost immediately, She replied, “Nothing. I loved everything about him. He was the perfect man for me.”

My grandparents were together for almost 59 years when my grandpa passed away.

That’s 21,535 days. 

I don’t need a fortuneteller to tell me that surely, at least once in their relationship, something he said or did drove her crazy.

But that’s not something she chose to to bring to her mind.

Love is all she chose. 

Because her message was love. 

Her life was her message.

That is a legacy. 

That is my grandmother. 

That is who I celebrate today. 

Thank you, grandma, for teaching me what true love is."

Every situation can empower us, if we choose.

The next time you come up to a loss, feel the feels if needed, and look for the lesson. It's always there.

And, if you haven't called your grandma to say 'hello,' maybe do that, too.

Your Presence Is Not Optional

According to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, an average of 130 citizens within the American family die by suicide every day. Wednesday, December 14th, 2022, we all learned in disbelief that Stephen "tWitch" Boss, a bright light in our culture, was among that average.


While our thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and families who must mourn and begin the journey to heal from such tragedy, how will we that remain bring this illusive criminal of suicide to justice?


I am not an expert in this arena, so I will not attempt to speak on this from a scientific point of view. But what I do know is that we must secure and anchor ourselves in LOVE to stand a fighting chance in these unprecedented times! This includes God’s Love…our family’s Love…our friend’s Love and…Love of self!

Love…of…self! This is the nail I want to hit on the head; for we do not spend enough time Loving ourselves. I may be alone here, but when I was faced with the decision to go on with life or to end it all, Self-Love was the crucial factor that I had to weigh in the balance. Its presence, though limited at that moment, was the dividing factor between me, eternity and time.

Over the years, I have learned that Love of Self is not automatic. Self-Love has to be learned, perceived and comprehended. Self-Love requires intense studying of our personal inventory such as our gifts, callings, talents, strengths, fearlessness, as well as our fears, weaknesses, ignorance, threats and areas of opportunity. No one else can do this work for us! There are no shortcuts! We have sole ownership in discovering that we are predestined treasures given to this generation to address a particular problem that will go unresolved without us.

And if no one has ever said it outloud, there is nothing that we have encountered that will pardon us from fulfilling the mission we were SENT into the world to accomplish. We cannot take the cargo designed for this world into the next.

Hear me with your hearts and not with just your heads! We are living in a painful era in our history and we each have a mandate to administer the remedies stored within us to reduce the inflammation of our society's woes. This is not the time for us to go missing.

So, what do we do from here?

  • Let us be proactive in rooting and grounding ourselves in the effective power of Love to hold us steady when things get ugly!

  • Let us lean hard upon Love’s authentic wherewithal to bear our most intense realities and to arrest the private thoughts that would have us do harm to ourselves or others.

  • Let us become solely dependent upon Love's intelligence and wise counsel to produce right now and long term solutions to meet every one of our wants, problems and needs.

  • Let us turn on Love's light internally to investigate why we, in our imperfections, are perfectly formed and selected to shine bright in our assigned spheres of influence.

  • Above all, when we have to come face to face with the decision to live on or end it all, let us not make this decision alone. STOP and call a trusted confidant for immediate help.

  • If there is not confidant nearby, let us contact the trusted resource 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988 or visiting their website: https://988lifeline.org.

Leaders, wrap this around your heads and your children's heads…our ecosystem CANNOT work without you! You are SENT into this world on purpose and for a purpose! You are NECESSARY! Your presence is not OPTIONAL!!

You’ve heard me say if before and I will say it again…always choose Love, for it is beautiful for every situation!

Here’s to the journey! Let’s move forward!

Stay In The Game: A Reflection of Business Lessons Learned in 2022!

As we prepare to wrap-up this year, I cannot help but to reflect upon the lessons 2022 has taught me about building a new business. It is the hardest, yet the most powerful thing I have ever done! Being driven by the mission to help Women renew their leadership mindset with fresh fire and purpose has caused me to know why I was brought into the world. And while I may not know all of the twists and turns ahead, I know what I am made to do!

 

There is much work and more to learn in 2023, but if I may, I would like to share a few things for new entrepreneurs to consider as you continue on your journey…

 

Lesson Number One…as we move forward to assemble our customer base, we must continue to develop our personal value and the value proposition of our goods, services and marketing strategies. Our local Small Business resources are designed to help us with these measures, business growth, maturity and long-term maintenance. Whether it is the Small Business Administration here in the states or a similar construct abroad, these types of services are available to entrepreneurs in a complimentary one-on-one consultative framework.

 

Building a business is not always sexy, but we do not have to struggle as hard if we take advantage of ready guidance to nurture our greatness! 

 

Lesson Number Two…developing community is key to our success! As we endeavor to meet our target market via networking, we cannot forsake the power of the one-on-one connect! Taking that extra step to conduct post event follow-ups to schedule these special 15 to 30 minute calls has opened doors for me to spotlight awesome business leaders in my Women’s Leadership Mindset blog series; feature as a guest writer in other leader’s newsletters and online courses, and speak as a guest panelists at some pretty amazing summits and podcasts.

On the flipside, I have had a few bumpy experiences that has taught me that many of us do not know how to have these pivotal conversations. Under no circumstances should we abuse this valuable time as a sales call to force a product; to recruit a new representative to our down lines or to gain a new client. Any attempt to impose our will upon a fellow entrepreneur that would divert their energy away from their mission and vision is disingenuous and inappropriate.

Successful one-on-ones can vary, but they are fundamentally designed to help us, as business leaders to:

  • Learn about each other and our motivations.

  • Learn how we serve the world with our businesses.

  • Learn each other’s preferred client profile.

  • Learn the kind of language our prospective clients speak that would trigger a referral to one another.

  • Learn if there is an opportunity to collaborate in our work.

I believe the ultimate goal of a one-on-one is to push one another, as entrepreneurial peers, a step closer to achieving our organizational goals! If we can walk away leaving behind a business tip, resource or warm introduction that may lead to a bigger opportunity, then we have done our part to enhance to business ecosystem!

Lesson Number Three…we must get comfortable with the idea that we are not for all people. We must become intentional about positioning ourselves where our target market lives to engage with those that:

  • Believe in the value of what we have to offer.

  • Have a need for what we have to offer.

  • Can afford what we have to offer.

  • And have a relative willingness to pay for what we have to offer.

As new entrepreneurs, many us struggle with the value of our good and services and often lower our prices in panic. But we should only adjust prices, IF it makes sense--not because someone said we are too high. It is important to conduct research to ensure our pricing is in alignment with our business type, industry and region to become and remain relevant. Some of us will find that we may need to increase the value of our goods and services instead of decreasing.

Yet, in an effort not to harm or economically alienate potential clients, a possible solution to consider is creating a tier pricing structure that provides a menu of standard to luxury bundle packages that could meet your customers needs and wants on all levels.

 

Lesson Number Four…if we need to get a job while you're building a business--get one! It does not make us a sell out to do so. We still have to pay for our life while we build our legacy. If possible, search for a position that will give you freedom to still work on your business until your business can stand on its own to support your family, lifestyle and community passion projects.

 

Lesson Number Five…if necessary, we must have a willingness to streamline business operations to launch further out into the deep. This process requires us to assess our progress utilizing the data provided via our social media, website and marketing analytical tools. The numbers do not lie and will help us make sound decisions for the health of the business. To maintain the wellness of our business will demand a willingness to start or stop activities that are good to focus on that which is right. Actions will vary, but could include:

  • Eliminating costs where there is no Return on Investment (ROI).

  • Investing to position our products in bigger markets beyond our current networks.

  • Reallocating the currencies of our gifts, time and energy into the people, places, spaces and initiatives that will consume our offerings and elevate the growth of our organizations.

Leaders, it may seem like I am overstepping my boundaries here, but I recognize where some of you are on your journey. I am on the same path and actively doing the exact things I mentioned above! Love In Leadership is the message I am carrying and it is demonstrated in my books, speaking, conferences and coaching. I know that this message is the right message for the age and I am committed to doing what it takes to carrying this message to the right people successfully!

In these early stages of creating something that will last for the next 100 years, it would be easy to shift gears because we may not see immediate results. But, in these moments, it is important for us to remember why and how we came to the market for such a time as this. It was not a mistake! It takes time to build trust, a solid clientele and generational wealth!

So, bottom-line, adjust what you need to in order to STAY IN THE GAME! Give yourself the gift of a holiday break so you are refreshed to jump into the new year. Above all, remain true to your WHY! You did not come to the market for nothing. Your first thought is the right thought! Now, cultivate it and WIN!

About Rushauna

Q: Tell us about yourself?

A: My name is Rushauna Beckles and I am a chocolate loving content and marketing consultant. I was born in Guyana and moved to Canada at the age of 9 years old. I am a graduate of the Early Childhood Educator program.

I'm a very creative, resilient individual who enjoys designing gift baskets and creating natural handmade soaps, wax melts, lotion bars and baking.

Q: What motivated you to start your business, Served with Creativity?

A: The pandemic. Lol. During the pandemic, I didn’t want to return to my daycare job, so I decided to utilize my creative skills, retail experience and my passion for assisting others to start my business. I began as a Virtual Assistant, pivoted to being a Content Marketing Strategist and in the current position as the CEO and Content and Marketing Consultant.

These developments came about because I learnt that a lot of business owners don't know the different types of content they need to create to attract their ideal clients. Also, they’re too busy overthinking their ideas and listening to coaches/mentors on where they should be showing up online. For example, some coaches love to tell business owners to market on Facebook and majority of the time they don't know anything about Facebook and may not even like it.

There are so many different ways to market a business that no one should feel stuck doing a strategy that they don’t like and isn’t working!

Q: What are Served with Creativity’s core values?

A: Our core values are creativity, kindness, and community.

Q: What problem does your services resolve?

A: We assist financial professionals to stop "winging it and throwing spaghetti at the walls to see what will stick when it comes to marketing their business. We also help them create a marketing strategy and plan that they can confidently execute on a consistent basis, and to hone in on the things that are working for them.

Q: For whom are your services designed?

A: My services are designed for financial professionals, coaches, mentors, money experts, educators, bookkeepers, etc.

Q: How do you improve upon the value of your services to stay relevant?

A: By regularly doing professional development (taking courses and training sessions).

Q: How do you establish trust with your team and clients?

A: We establish trust by getting to know the individuals and teams that we're working with such as their needs, goals, how they define success, how they want to be celebrated, etc. and doing what I say I’m going to do.

Q: How do you acquire and retain customers?

A: We acquire our customers through social media and network marketing and sharing with others our philosophy and how we can assist and develop strategies for their business. We retain customers through authentic relationship building, productivity and feedback/surveys.

Q: Share with us the most funny or intense “behind the scenes” adventure you have experienced while building your business or career.

A: Earlier this year, we hosted a free speed networking event and made the mistake of giving the participants the wrong time--an hour after the original time. Long story short, I missed my own event and a number of participants didn’t get to attend. When my team and I signed onto the platform, I saw that only two people attended.

Q: What kind of leader are you?

A: I am empathetic, transformational, participative, strategic and open-minded. I have the ability to create events that bring people together, be a resource and take the initiative to do things that bring about change and growth.

Q: How you have developed your leadership mindset.

A: I’ve always been someone who loves to assist others. I’ve developed my leadership mindset mainly through my work experience as an Early Childhood Educator and being a support to my colleagues. For instance, I took the initiative to create fundraising events to raise money for our daycare by making gift baskets and rallying my colleagues to bring items and buy tickets. I also created a Valentine’s Day morning surprise to show appreciation to parents and a secret Santa event to bring colleagues together.

Q: What tools/methods do you utilize to maintain or enhance your leadership mindset?

A: Attending workshops and summits. And reading books such as Atomic Habits by James Clear. This book is focused on mindset.

Q: How do you effect change within your sphere of influence?

A: I started a giveback movement in 2018 to support low-income communities with school supplies which evolved into giving groceries amongst other things. I believe it’s so important to give back! We don’t need to give hundreds of dollars to make an impact, it’s the little things that we do that can make the biggest difference in someone’s life. For example: a compliment, encouragement, giving someone some grocery items, buying bus tickets or even donating items that we're not using.

Q: How will future generations benefit from the work you are doing today?

A: I hope someone benefits from my story with the generational wealth I intend on building, as well as my giveback initiatives and the impact in assisting financial professionals to promote financial literacy.

Q: What tip, encouragement or resource would you give to someone that is considering turning their dream career or business into a reality?

A: To have confidence and belief in yourself because entrepreneurship is a rollercoaster of a journey and to have a plan! Having a plan is key because it will help you to stay focused on the steps that you need to be implementing.

My favorite quote that I created is, “Feelings will not pay your bills.” There’s going to be days where you don’t feel like getting up, calling, emailing potential leads, marketing your business, creating content and the list goes on. But it’s important to separate your feelings and FOCUS ON YOUR CLIENTS AND LEADS, BECAUSE IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU--IT’S ABOUT THEM!

Q: What tip, encouragement or resource would you give to someone that feels frustrated or stuck in their current career or business?

A: Take a break from your business, career and social media to rest, destress and do things that you have been neglecting such as your hobbies. Then reevaluate what you want, what’s been working, what's not working, who you need to be to be successful and the small steps that you need to take to achieve your goals. Ask for help and get support in areas that you are struggling whether it is mindset, accountability, productivity, marketing etc.

Love The Success Factor: Employing Love In the Workplace

In my quest to help Women to renew their leadership mindset with fresh fire and purpose, I have discovered after years of development and firsthand experiences, that the ultimate key to Women’s success is the effective power of LOVE.

Love is our nerve center. Love is our fuel. Love is as necessary as air, food and water. Love has everything to do with how we see ourselves; how we interact with others and how we perceive the world. Love is the driving factor behind all of our major personal, professional and faith decisions. Love motivates our overall success and our performance.

Without Love, the Woman can dysfunction. Yet, with Love, there is no limitation to what a Woman can do! None!

Why is this important from the business perspective?

This kind of information is important, because one of the top issues facing businesses in the 21st century is the underutilization or misuse of Women in our society and workplaces. If we expect to see continued longevity in our organizations; sustained growth in our economy and advantageous progression in all industry sectors, we must give the Women in our professional spaces the kind of Love that can flourish within our corporate buildings, co-working hubs and virtual offices.

There seems to be an automatic inclination to believe that Love has no place in our boardrooms and team meetings without losing sight on profitability, but I submit to you that we can no longer afford to leave our most skilled asset in the lobby of our business matters. For Love is more than an emotional conduit for our hearts, it is the most powerful, diverse, effective and high-performing resource available to the global family.

Just imagine if Love’s unlimited authority and influence were invited as the helm of our organizations. How much more cohesive would the relationship between c-suite leadership and direct reports become? How much would company loyalty, leadership development and internal promotions escalate?

Significantly!

Just imagine if Love’s infinite awareness, understanding and insight were at the forefront in our policies, procedures and processes. Would sexual harassment, bullying or workplace violence still be a thing? Would we still have a need for emotional intelligence or diversity, equality and inclusion training? Would matters of equal opportunities and equal pay still be up for debate?

No!

Just imagine if Love’s unlimited benevolence were embedded in our core values. Would demonstrating value, respect, appreciation and empathy stop being an internal struggle for us? Would our internal and external stakeholder relationships become stronger? Would our customer service and satisfaction efforts skyrocket? Would our value proposition and customer referrals go up?

Yes!

Just imagine if Love’s ever presence was actively evident in our operations and teambuilding efforts. Would employee engagement, morale and productivity increase? Would team collaboration, synergy and communication improve? Would leaders finally lend their talent the room to grow in the roles they were hired to fulfill with autonomy and potential for upward mobility?

Absolutely!

Employing Love’s creative power and innovation as a function is easier than we are willing to admit and poses no threat to our business model’s ability to scale. For those of us willing to partner with Love possess a courage to do business in great waters. The key is becoming skillful in wielding Love to abolish all inequities in our hallways. The key is perceiving that Love is a gamechanger that gives us an edge to be:

  • Powerful in leadership

  • Fully present for our teams and stakeholders

  • Innovative in our goods, services, concepts and inventions

  • Knowledgeable in industry trends and technologies

  • Benevolent in our community service.

So, I have said it before and I will say it again…always choose Love! For it is beautiful for every situation!
