All The Leader You Can Be By Suzanne Bates

Hi Love!

The old adage “You can’t manage what you can’t measure,” has thus far been a challenge when approaching the elusive idea of Executive Presence. In ALL THE LEADER YOU CAN BE: The Science of Achieving Extraordinary Executive Presence (McGraw-Hill Professional; February 2016), executive coach and bestselling author of Speak Like a CEO, Suzanne Bates, and her co-author, William Macaux, demystify the “X-Factor” behind executive presence and offer a blueprint for leaders to climb the ladder with concrete measurement of their influence and impact.

Everyone recognizes leaders with “presence”; they stand out for their seemingly innate ability to command attention and inspire commitment. But until now, it’s been virtually impossible for organizations to measure and ultimately leverage the true value of this secret sauce of leadership. With groundbreaking original research, Bates and her team examine what it really takes to get ahead and how to amplify their strengths and to build upon their perceived needs.

In All the Leader You Can Be, Bates deconstructs Executive Presence and provides a framework in which to fortify their leadership skills by tackling imperative questions, such as:

·         Are we already hard-wired with Executive Presence or do we inherit it?

·         How can leaders demonstrate qualities of leadership that build trust, such as composure and resonance?

·         Why do facets of a leader’s character, such as humility, concern for others, and integrity, matter when it comes to driving business results?

·         What does it take to inspire trust within our teams?

·         How can we, as leaders, thrive in a crisis and overcome daily challenges?

·         Does appearance matter when it comes to Executive Presence?

Filled with stories of effective leaders with powerful presence and the latest scientific research translated into actionable habits, this authoritative guide puts a little-understood, but potentially game-changing tool within everyone's reach. Beyond this, Bates and her team provide valuable data about how Executive Presence is perceived among various groups, such as high potential leaders, women, and leaders of diverse backgrounds. While some leaders look like they are born with Executive Presence, the research Bates has done shows that most successful leaders have developed this feature through their own experiences and efforts. 

Leaders everywhere will be able to add a whole new dimension to succession planning and talent management that guides good decisions and puts the right people in the right place at the right time. At a time when our the skills gap is making career advancement more challenging than ever, All the Leader You Can Be provides readers at every level on the career ladder the guidance they need to stay relevant, keep our skills fresh, and make the leap from working like an executive to feeling like an executive.

Announcing Hilda Lunderstedt As CEO of Global Operations

Hi Love!

" Build a business that is scalable without YOU having to work harder " - Hilda Lunderstedt

Wealth Migrate Announces New CEO of Global Operations

Hilda Lunderstedt to oversee strategic international growth for leading global real estate crowdfunding platform

 Wealth Migrate, the tenth-largest global real estate crowdfunding platform as reported by Massolution, today announces Hilda Lunderstedt as its new CEO of global operations. A long-time adviser to the board and an investor in the company, Lunderstedt compliments the current executive team, which specializes in real estate by providing oversight of business growth strategy and international operations. Lunderstedt will work alongside current Wealth Migrate CEO and Co-Founder Scott Picken in order to support the continued demand for high-quality real estate investments from investors throughout the globe.

“Hilda has founded several businesses that have experienced accelerated growth,” Picken said. “With the demand from investors increasing daily, the launch of our second-generation real estate technology platform, the opening of several new global offices and an influx of new high-quality developers and operators adding their projects to our platform, 2016 is going to be a year of incredible growth for us. Adding a co-CEO of Hilda’s caliber will allow us to scale quickly.”

A seasoned business veteran, Lunderstedt started and grew her own company, NutriLida Healthcare, to a nine-figure business in less than a decade. She has raised capital and pursued investments on various continents, establishing herself as an international entrepreneur, investor and savvy businesswoman. She is passionate about how technology is opening up opportunities for underserved populations to have access real estate opportunities that allow for currency stabilization and wealth creation.

“As a longstanding investor turned board member, I have continually been impressed by the caliber of people and the strength of the technology behind Wealth Migrate,” Lunderstedt said. “As the company continues to grow, I am excited to move into a more active role managing day-to-day operations.”  

Lunderstedt has received international recognition for her talent, leadership and excellence in marketing, having been named as a Top Entrepreneur in the USA in 2013 by the JT Foxx Organization, and being selected by the Worldwide Who’s Who organization as a VIP of the Year for 2014-2015. Hilda has also received the award for 2015 Featured Global Expert of the Year from South Africa for her contribution in global entrepreneurship and Investments.

“One of our main objectives is to ensure that access to wealth through real estate as well as education regarding real estate investing is equally available to all populations in all corners of the world,” said Hennie Bezuidenhout, co-founder and chairman of Wealth Migrate. “Hilda’s passion for educating investors, specifically female investors, is one more reason we are thrilled for her to take a larger role within the company.”

With research indicating that women are underrepresented in financial market participation, Lunderstedt believes the emergence of real estate crowdfunding technology provides women a new avenue for investment in an asset class many understand and find appealing, and could revolutionize female investment behavior.

“As Wealth Migrate’s first female executive, one of my goals is to ensure we empower women with the knowledge and confidence to invest by providing the proper education and outreach female investors,” Lunderstedt said.

Thrive! 7 Ways to Get the Most Out of Every Day

Hi Love!

Thrive!  7 Ways to Get the Most Out of Every Day 

It's still pretty early into 2016, and already only 8% of those who made New Year resolutions are still on track. We can have the best intentions in the world, but it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or discouraged by multiple demands when we get back to the daily grind.

Executive coach and transformational leadership expert Donna Stoneham, Ph.D., author of The Thriver’s Edge:  Seven Keys to Transform the Way You Live, Love, and Lead, says that it’s challenging not to fall into old patterns of behavior when we get back on the treadmill of daily life.  And usually, it’s because our goals and resolutions feel like chores rather than things that make us feel happier, more productive, and more fulfilled.  She identifies the key actions you can take to operate at your peak every day so you can thrive in your life and career and be the best person you can be in the coming year.

1. Be Grateful. Identify what you have to be grateful for today!

Action: Each day, take a few minutes to pause and think about all you are grateful for: Your loved ones, the roof over your head, plenty of food to eat, your friendships, good health. Really think about each thing and take a few moments to relish the feeling.  Then get a notebook or journal and write your blessings down every day.  If you have a challenging day, go back and review them.  This is a fail safe way to lift your spirits!

Practice: Make a Gratitude Jar. Every time someone in your family has something good happen, write it down on a piece of paper and put it in the Gratitude Jar. Then once a month, create a family ritual during which you pull out the jar and one by one read all the wonderful things that have happened during the past few weeks. Feel the joy and gratitude for all the good things that have transpired. These little victories will inspire you to continue this practice each month.

2. Be Present. Tune in and be 100% present for yourself and someone else!

Action: Practice being present for at least ten minutes each day. This can be as you’re eating a meal, helping your child with homework, participating in a conversation at work, or playing with your pet. Practice being present with those around you. Really be there. Listen to them without any agenda except being fully present. Appreciate them for who they are and how they enrich your life.

Practice:  Once a week share an “appreciation meal” with your family or friends. During this time together, have each person share what they have learned about themselves and each other by being more present to one another. Let each person know what you appreciate about him or her. 

3. Focus on Your Purpose. Feel more connected to your purpose today!

Action: When we lead busy lives, it’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day grind and forget about the reason we do what we do every day. That’s why it’s important to remember and to focus on your purpose. Think of the difference that you’d like to make in your world. Maybe it’s being the best teacher you can be, or the most effective parent, or helping people to grow and develop if you are a manager of others. 

Practice:  Practice seeing and feeling your connection to your purpose by taking one action each day that helps you feel more deeply engaged with the reason you’re here. If you’re a teacher, then help someone in classroom learn something beneficial. If you’re a manager, then seek out and facilitate a development opportunity for someone on your team. If you’re a parent, then make it a point to let your children know how much you love them and appreciate the wonder that they bring to your life. Revel in the joy of knowing how instructive you are in the process of watching your children learn and grow.  Whatever your reasons are for doing what you do, take one action each day that helps you feel renewed and recommitted to your passion, purpose and mission. 

4.  Move Your Body. Feel more connected to the magnificence of your body!

Action: Practice moving your body, from stretching to walking to more vigorous exercise. Feel the power you have in your muscles and in every step you take. Feel how vibrant you are now, knowing you're getting even stronger with each movement.

Practice: Each day, turn off the TV, leave your phone behind, and get outside and take a walk, even if it’s a walk to the cafeteria on your lunch break at work. Breathe in the air, notice the beauty around you, feel the power in your steps, feel your connection to the ground beneath your feet.  Realize and be thankful for the magnificence of your body to take you wherever you want to go.

5. Quiet Your Mind.  Spend more time being and less time doing!

Action:  We're called human beings for a reason, but many of us have forgotten how to “be” in a world of 24/7 demands.  Carve out a few minutes every day to stop “doing” and simply be still.  Learn how to savor the silence, listen to the rain or even stare into space.  Hit the reset button on your inner hard drive at least once a day by being still. Notice what you notice when you’re quiet that you aren’t able to hear when you are caught up in the fray.

Practice:  Practice getting up 5-10 minutes earlier than your normal wake-up time each day.  This way, you aren’t losing productive time, so you won’t have an excuse not to do this.  Sit up in your bed with your back straight or find a chair in a place where you won’t be disturbed.  Set a timer on your phone or on your alarm for 5-10 minutes.  Close your eyes. Focus on breathing from your abdomen, rather than from your chest. Breathe in and out of your nose.  Notice where you feel your breath most prominently on your inhale and your exhale.  If you mind wanders, bring yourself back to your breathing by focusing on the sensation of your breathing until your timer goes off.  This practice will give you at least 5 minutes a day just to be.

6.  Appreciate Your Abundance. Identify where in your life are you truly abundant!

Action: When it comes to money and material things, enjoy what you have and make the most of it rather than always wanting more. Are there places where you spend money on things you don’t need? Where can you create experiences rather than buying things?

Practice: Instead of going out to dinner or getting take-out, how about staying home one night with the family and creating a meal together. Cook together, sit down together, and enjoy one another’s company without any electronic devices or television to distract you.

7.  Pay it Forward. Help someone else! Do it!

Action: Do something nice for at least one person every day that enables you to extend yourself to others without the expectation of anything in return.  What are the small acts of kindness that can make a difference in someone else’s life that require minimal effort to do? 

Practice:  Every day, practice delivering one act of kindness and notice how that makes you feel.  For example, pay the road toll of the person behind you. Smile at strangers and watch them smile back at you. Hold the door open for someone else. Buy a colleague a cup of coffee.  Let someone in front of you in your lane of traffic who wants to move over even when you’re in a rush.

The Women of Power Community

Hi Love!

Stream is a direct selling organization that started a "Women of Power” group several years ago because the company wasn’t seeing as many women promoting to leadership position as often (or as quickly) as the men in the direct sales force. In direct selling companies, each member of the direct sales force acts as an entrepreneur and individual business owner/builder. Direct sales has historically been a compelling opportunity for women to gain financial and time freedom, with 74% female representation in the field. Instead of selling makeup or nutrition products, Stream sells essential services (energy, mobile), which makes the company unique – it was the first to apply a direct sales model to the deregulated energy market. 

Women of Power (WOP) is a community for women in business to discover their potential, develop their strengths and empower themselves with tools to achieve professional and personal success. The group provides regular, unique training and tools tailored to women in business, personal and leadership development, and a community that encourages each other. Training topics range from PR and communication, multi-level marketing business, social media, team building and more. WOP is active on social media, hosts a weekly conference call, and holds special WOP events at Stream’s events, in addition to holding its own annual retreat.

Welcome to December

Hi Love!

As we go into the next chapter of our lives I just want you to take notice of how intimate this process can be. First, take notice of your accomplishments for the first half of the year and then after, write down your daily affirmations for the the next page in your life.

I was once told before that life is just a long checklist and this is a theory that I truly believe. Usually on a list like this, most people tend to write down their career goals but honestly they need to acknowledge that they want peace and happiness.

For myself, I think knowing those two goals are the biggest part of entering into the next chapter. I've learned to acknowledge all of the greatness around me while also exhibiting my own.

So as we come to the closing of this part of your life, look to the future with a positive and strong attitude. Stay motivated and ambitious but more importantly be fearless.

Natalie Massenet Advances Online Retail

Hi Love!

It only takes 15 years to build a fashion empire. Natalie Massenet is the founder of Net A Porter, a global fashion retailer that is headquartered in London. Net A Porter is operated as an online magazine and has nearly 3 million visitors to the site per month. Natalie is an american born former journalist that launched Net A Porter from her apartment in Chelsea. She sold the company in 2010 and is now an investor and executive chairwoman but the question is how did she do it?

Net A Porter is valued at 533 million but of course to get the company to that level there were many years of dedication and hardwork. Natalie attend UCLA, studied English, worked as model and stylist in Tokyo and also worked at Women's Wear Daily. To launch Net A Porter, she got a lot of help from her ex-husband who contributed to the 1.2 million she needed in start-up costs.

Lesson to take from Natalie: You are your own competition.
