Most of my clients that I’ve business consult over two decades have been women.

I disscovered a few common unspoken signs of high intelligence women.

Highly intelligent women aren’t loud, they often don’t brag. They build quietly. They observe more than they speak, lead, innovate, think long-term and go All-In.

They are fast thinking. They thrive on processing information quickly and executing on ideas in real time. 

They have systems and processes to bridge and create proven pathways. They don’t chase trends, but cease opportunities, that others overlook.

They protect their mental space, sleep, and limit the noise by bringing the target in a little closer. They remain focused so that they can  retain details, conversations, and lessons that compound over time.

The women I’ve work with hunger of the need for intellectual stimulation. They say that small talk, a.k.a surface talk drains and distracts them. They politely excuse themselves from energy vampires.

What I find most fascinating is they’re always curious. They’re constantly asking why, how, and what’s next.

If this sounds like you, own it. Intelligence isn’t arrogance. My mentor once mentioned that awareness applied with brilliance and intention elevate others.

What do you want to build? What’s your vision? How do you plan on achieving your goal?

I’ve opened up my calendar with a few available spots to work with me 1:1. Link in the comments.

Here’s to strong women.

May we raise them.

As a former esteemed cable lifestyle, program host for 7 year’s, I interviewed over 100 nonprofits reaching 20 million household across 19 counties in New York State.

My non-paid Covid sabbatical hindered me from returning to the show. Something that I was truly passionate about. As the host, I learned a great deal about my guest and their businesses/nonprofits.

Because I was present, engaging and actively listening, I discovered one common struggle all organizations dread.

Fundraising…

2019, I wrote the book Fundraising Secrets to help organizations master the art of fundraising.

Are you an Active Listener?

One of the most important interpersonal skills is Actively Listening.

By actively listening your business and relationships grow organically.

Even when I didn’t know the “What” I became the “Who and How.”
I said “Yes” and figured it out.

5 Interpersonal Skills of Self-Development: (just plug in your business)

Active Listening:
The ability to attentively listen to donors, team members, and community stakeholders, understanding their needs and concerns.

Empathy:
Demonstrating empathy towards donors and understanding their motivations for supporting the nonprofit, fostering stronger connections.

Negotiation Skills:
Effectively negotiating partnerships, grants, and collaborations to maximize support for the organization.

Cultural Competence: Being culturally aware and sensitive to diverse perspectives, ensuring inclusive and respectful interactions with donors from various backgrounds.

Conflict Resolution:
Skill in resolving conflicts diplomatically, whether internal team conflicts or external issues, to maintain positive relationships and foster a collaborative environment.

You can learn a great deal when you zip it and listen.

Of the 5 which ones are your superpowers?

“You are just one victory away.”
