Hello and thank you for visiting Modern Ladies of Influence. I hope that today you have pushed harder than you did yesterday and that you have applied all that you have learned to what you do from now on. Throughout my years of business and networking, I have noticed that there are so many beautiful and talented women out there; however, the only downfall I found with some women, was their fear of losing which created the inability to share with others and invetibally limited their growth to flourish in business and personal. To become competitive and closed off shuts doors to new opportunities that would have been presented if women saw each other as support instead of a threat. 

 

My years as business development with Miss World Canada has made me realize that these young women going into the pageant are about to embark into the real game of life. And as I look at them and see how each one is so passionate about helping the world and making a difference it made me realize that after you reach adulthood there doesn't seem to be any more support; as a woman, you are on your own. There is no road map or instruction manual and YOU are the support for your family, friends, partner, boss and/or employees. I watched many women struggle with relationships and career and the ones that were single had a harder time and some that had partners didn't have the support they needed from them either. We all have a story and our history does not define us. What defines us is the ability to maintain our grace when the going gets tough and how fast we can get up when we fall. 

 

As a mother, daughter and entrepreneur my game face is always on and what people don't realize is that I, too, need to be inspired and supported. With that being said, having the ability to connect and inspire those around me has motivated me to create this collaboration where women feel safe, loved, inspired, appreciated and recognized. It is a place where worries and judgement is left at the door and we come together as equals, sharing our visions, goals and dreams; if we never put it out there then we will never know if someone could have helped us. We are all fighting the same battle so let's not fight against one another, instead, change our mindsets from competition to collaboration; crucial for what this world needs during this economic shift. I want to see everyone succeed so creating a support network for women who want to get ahead in the fast lane by showing women that they really do have all the tools and resources they need right at their fingertips. 

 

Cultivate, collaborate, commit, create = Positive Changes. I want you to know that you are already everything that you want to be, you just need to unleash it. Thank you and I look forward to seeing you at your peak potential!

 

Happy thoughts and many blessings to you,
