WOMEN HELPING WOMEN STAND IN THEIR POWER


"True power comes from standing in your own truth and walking your own path."
– Elizabeth Gilbert
On March 8, the world will be celebrating International Women’s Day with the historical, cultural, and political achievements of women. Organizations small and large will come together to show women just how valuable they are. And here at Smart Women’s Empowerment, we will be celebrating women’s empowerment all month long.

First celebrated in 1909 as a labor protest in New York against the poor working conditions, the movement quickly spread across the world. This is a day we recognize women for their achievements throughout history and across nations. It’s known as the United Nations (UN) Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace. This is a time to reflect on the progress we have made, to call for change, to recognize acts of courage, and to unlock our financial power
WHAT'S SELF GOT TO DO WITH IT?
By Alba Contreras Rodriguez, Previous SWT Guest

SELF is the critical success factor of my work as an executive coach and operations consultant. Most clients strive for goals that have to do with elements external to them. Once the layers start being peeled off, through more in-depth reflection and increased self-awareness, the focus on SELF becomes the foundation for being able to achieve goals and highest potential.
ARE YOU READY FOR BADASS ENGAGEMENT?
By Katie Macks, Previous SWT Guest

Since you’re reading this, I imagine you’re ready to be the bold badass leader you know you are, but, you’ve been holding back, tamping yourself down to please others, to fit in and to be accepted, all the while being loyal and dutiful to everyone but you. You have unwittingly given your power away to make others more comfortable around you. Sound familiar?
