Embrace Age and Experience

Age is your friend. Don't be afraid of it. And don't be afraid to start a company at age 58 like I did. The more experience you have, the more comfortable you can be in your own skin, and the more comfortable you can make others in your presence. The people you work with don't need you to be the most beautiful, the most talented, the smartest person in the room. They need to know you believe in them, and that you believe they have something creative, insightful, and meaningful to contribute. Every year going forward can be better and better as you expand the reach of your leadership, mentoring others, and bringing out the best in the people you work with and the people you serve.

Leading by Example and Empowering Others

I try to lead by example and I also share for the benefit of all.  I have published two books that really speak to women, though men have let me know they enjoy them equally as well. The Power of Joy and Purpose is my personal story and I share my 7 Presence Principles as I get asked nearly every day, how do I do it all so joyfully? I don’t do it alone. I also co-authored a book with John Tinghitella last year. We named it, NO FEAR Negotiation for Women, a book where we set forth a process that women can add to their list of abilities and for the greater benefit of our country. Men are about results and Women are about effort. We need both in business.

Vision and Motivation

You need to believe in your vision, immerse yourself in your business and come up with unique and practical solutions for your industry. Lastly always remember why you started in the first place- this will keep you motivated all the time.

Sibongile V. Mthimunye, Founder, BWGL Group

 

Pursue Your Great Ideas

Don't put that great idea on the back burner! I did and waited until I was over 50 to pull it off and make it a reality. You can do hard things so don't underestimate yourself. It is also critical to surround yourself with people who make doing the impossible seem so ordinary! When you are around these people... your idea of what's possible expands!

Stick to Your Vision

Stick to your Vision, work very hard, Beleive in your product, Use right help at the right time

Harsha Nagi, Founder, IKHOJ-Talent Solutions

 

Perseverance and Vision

For newbies-> Focus on persevering and learning, not on perfection, success will come. For 5+ years -> Trust yourself. Design your company around your vision. Don't try to delegate too much so that your company loses you. Stay engaged on all levels at different amounts.

Jessica Gulick, Founder, Katzcy LLC

 

Embrace Systems Thinking

Learn to embrace systems thinking, cultivate relationships that support growth and maintain a practice that embodies leadership, balance and creativity so you can encourage a culture and ethos that reflects these shared values.
