Not all men are monsters. Trust me when I say it is time to celebrate good men. We have all been hearing a lot about #metoo, and I have also been a #metoo. But at the end of the day, I feel it is time to celebrate the men out there that are not monsters—the men that are truly wanting to know what to do in these changing times. They care, they are champions, they are ambassadors of women, and there are a lot of men out there who stand up for integrity and class.
When do you get your greatest inspiration? My greatest ideas come to me in the most valuable time that I have for myself: my down time. In this quiet time, I am truly able to reflect and listen to my inner voice.
I want to kickoff this year’s #AprilAppreciations by appreciating all the incredible men in my life that have been there to encourage me, inspire me, & love me unconditionally, in every way, shape, or form! As many of you know, this last month I revealed a very dark time in my past, and I want to celebrate the men who have helped me believe in the goodness of men again.
The Stevie Awards for Women in Business are the world’s top honors for female entrepreneurs, executives, employees and the organizations they run. The 2016 awards received entries from 31 nations and territories.
This is such a powerful part of our life and I feel a part that has been so neglected. We tend to either ignore it, discard it, or don't give it enough attention and credibility in our life. There is power in resilience. Those days when you have been put to the test and your feet have been put to the fire, and you think, “I just can't go on.” Or the day that you feel there's a black cloud hanging over you. Every single one of us has had those days, those months, or those years. Yet, somehow we make it through.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could empower young people around the world to feel confident, strong, truly inspired, and empowered to stand up for what they stand for?
