When I reached out to today’s #RealLifeWonderWoman, I was blown away by her humility and her deep desire to put the spotlight on others, specifically the women who are leading with their superpowers as our world navigates the COVID-19 pandemic. So we are shaking things up a bit this week. And why not? It seems our world is “all shook up”
What does empowering women really mean?
What does empowering women really mean? This is a question I often hear when people learn that I’ve written a book that empowers women and that I speak at many women’s conferences. To be clear, I speak to mixed-gender groups regularly, but am frequently hired to speak to groups of women—business women, college women, women of faith, and corporate women’s
Why Wonder Woman?
Someone recently asked me, “Why do you spend so much time and energy featuring other real life Wonder Women on your website and social media when you could be promoting your own business?” I was a little surprised by the question. Honestly, wouldn’t you rather read stories about cool people doing great things than view ads for my speaking services
#RealLifeWonderWoman — Meet Katie Nall
Today’s #RealLifeWonderWoman wears many capes! She’s an accidental wife (46 years this summer), proud mother of three kids (who still speak to her), delighted “Gummi” to the Four Adorables (granddaughters!), professional speaker (member of the National Speaker Association), mathematician (yes, as in Ph.D.), and Certified Practitioner in Emotional Freedom Technique (a.k.a. tapping). And did I mention that she is fun?
#RealLifeWonderWoman — Meet Lindsey Jones
It was at the first night of a conference in Las Vegas at a party on the rooftop of the Palms when I met Lindsey, today’s #RealLifeWonderWoman. We chatted over canapés and Prosecco. I learned that she’s been married for 12 years to an active duty Marine, SSgt named Bryan, who is a GySgy select. (For you non-military friends, that is
#RealLifeWonderWoman — Meet Athena Currier
Last year, I began working in earnest on my next book project–one geared for women with a Wonder Woman vibe. I knew I wanted to have a female team to align with the mission of empowering women. I needed an illustrator and book designer. But who? And then…I was introduced to Athena. Yes, Athena! Not only did her name shout “Greek
#RealLifeWonderWoman — Meet Lauren Steinke
When she was six, Lauren’s dad signed her up for her first triathlon–and she fell in love with the sport. Father and daughter, they would train together. It was their thing. When she was fifteen, her dad passed away unexpectedly. Her world was turned upside down, but she continued to train and compete, carrying on the legacy (and the love
#RealLifeWonderWoman — Meet Cheryl Karpen
Today’s #RealLifeWonderWoman is peas-itively (yes, peas-itively) one of the most caring people I know. She’s also one of the smartest, savviest, most creative business women I know. Like Wonder Woman, she balances the dichotomies of softness and toughness, compassion and grit, intelligence and instinct. Cheryl Karpen is the Peas-ident (yes, Peas-ident–are you catching a theme here?) and creative genius behind the
#RealLifeWonderWoman — Meet Mandi Moon
Today’s #RealLifeWonderWoman is positive and professional, driven and delightful, entrepreneurial and engaging. Her 100-watt smile lights up a room and her positive energy fills it. You won’t meet a more uplifting person, or one more eager to help other people find their passion and achieve success. Meet Mandi Moon! KR: What brings you joy and fulfillment? MM: I am lucky
#RealLifeWonderWoman — Meet Captain Joy Walker
I recently had the pleasure of spending some time with retired Captain Joy Walker, the first female pilot at Delta Air Lines. This real-life Wonder Woman began flying for the airline in 1973, fighting gender stereotypes while pursuing her love of aviation and adventure. Captain Walker might be retired, but she is as active as ever. She represents Delta and women
