A story about a Black Woman leading as CEO and changing things from the top.Lisa Hamilton is the president and chief executive officer of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, a private philanthropic organization dedicated to building a brighter future for children, families, and communities in the United States. What is so unique about our talk is she shares her warm and everyday approach to being a woman in her role as CEO and her passion for uplifting the underserved youth of our nation. We talk about what it means to be one of very few Black Women CEOs and what it took for her to rise to this position. Catalyst cites that women CEOs of the Fortune 500 still make up a hand fill. Despite modest progress, women are still dramatically underrepresented in leadership roles. For example, 26% of women are in the C-suite, with Black women representing less than 5%. Just four women who identify as Black has served as the CEO of a Fortune 500 company:  These Statistics show how significant Lisa’s presence and leadership are for representing women as leaders of the C-Suite. Her leadership and stories are an inspiration for us all.
 

Connecting Powerfully, With Your Own Passion, a conversation with Danielle Swann, Executive Vice President, Lifetime Financial Growth

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. Danielle gets so excited about the phrase "connecting powerfully." Women are very gifted at building and connecting incredible relationships that drive business.
