Danielle Swann believes your ability to connect powerfully and build relationships is critical to being at "the table" and leading others with impact. Danielle shares with us how to fully connect with yourself and others. "It's like being a conductor, bringing everything together and creating a cohesive flow and motivation within your team." Now that we're at the table don't let the question be, "so what? or what now"? The question is, "How can I pull up a chair for another woman?". Share the space equally and effectively by using your passion for inspiring and building trusted relationships as you advance in your leadership roles. Relationships influence the table! Relationship building for women is the essential skill set we, as women, bring to the table. We instinctively know this and are always tending to and building relationships.

Welcome Back! Now that we are headed back to “A” life of normal, what have we learned from this moment of pause? The Pandemic offered us great opportunities in self-discovery. We increased our awareness of how delicate our personal health is and the health of those around us. We came to understand how connected we are globally (I had the best birthday ever which included all of my global friends) and how valuable that connection is. We became aware of cultural differences which brought about a more whole and inclusive workplace, community, and personal life. Throughout this we saw how virtual platforms allowed people to create a global presence. We embraced an understanding of the lives we’ve lost and how they became the foundation in creating inspiration for life. Yes, there is an excitement to return to old times, but let’s think reset when carrying all we have gathered in silence. Let’s move forward with the newness of expression and freshness of vision…Here’s to A “new normal”.
