Celebrating Women: Women Supporting Women

 Did you know we have a day that celebrates women?

March 8, 2010 is International Women’s Day – The 2010 Theme is Progress for All.

International Women’s Day has been observed since in the early 1900’s, a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of radical ideologies.

In the last few years of being a coach I have naturally been drawn to coaching more and more women. You may have read in past articles where I have alluded to the growth of women, how their success and contributions to the world has dramatically increased in the last two decades. Recent media articles have talked about “womenomics” the concept that male dominance in the workplace is being replaced by the fact that women account for 80% of all purchasing decisions and that women, may soon be primary breadwinners. Did you know that Canada is the fastest growing country for self employed professional women and it has tripled in the last two decades? In Canada one in 10 executives is a woman, and in the US one in five executives is a woman.

I am truly inspired! As women, we are truly stepping up to do it all! And………….. it is not always easy. In the spirit of ‘women supporting women’ I have most recently teamed up with a long time friend and colleague Cheryl Cran and we have launched a unique program for women entrepreneurs and leaders called Triple M Mastermind: Mind Money and a Life of meaning. This ongoing program is unique in its format in that a group of 8 women form a high level mastermind to assist each other in leadership and help those who own their own businesses, grow them to the next level. We believe that the next progress for all women is related to women supporting women to achieve bigger results. Celebrating women and their achievements in a non-competitive environment is a huge factor in the Triple M Mastermind and for women to create progress for all.

I have personally experienced through my own mastermind team and teaming up with other like-minded women, that the ability to receive help, collaborate and be in an supportive, non competitive environment that not only encourages, but demands thinking big, is a critical factor in women achieving success without a personal cost.

Today, on International Women’s Day, I celebrate the relationship I have with my mother, the sacred women friendships I have in my life, the women who are part of my TLC team, the inspiring, supportive business partnership I have with Cheryl and the all the women that I have had the honour of partnering up with as their coach, to witness their courage and commitment to live their best life.

When women come together to support women, what I know for sure is that you get more done with less effort and it is a lot more fun!

After just two sessions working with Teresia and Cheryl my whole business has turned around. I knew I needed help, I have always been successful but I had lost my confidence, my attitude was failing me and my business was slowly deteriorating. When I started working with Teresia and Cheryl I was so ready to get help and help is what they gave me. Just one month later my confidence is way up, business is pouring in. I am stronger, more capable and I have cleared the path to regaining my success. The combination of Teresia and Cheryl is dynamic. “
