A Call to Action for Inclusive Leadership
As we celebrate Women’s History Month, let us reflect on our progress and the work still ahead.

Develop Leadership Influence & Impact: Action for Traction
Listening to a podcast or reading a book is a good start. But the way you will change and grow yourself is to take a small action every time you have an aha from what you have heard or read.
Remember, your unique and authentic personal attributes will be your differentiator.
Here are three possible actions you might consider:
1: How would I rate my communication skills on a scale of one to 10, with 10 being the best?
2: What are my top 10 best personal attributes contributing to my success?
3: Ten years from now, how do I want to be remembered by the people who work for me now?
“As you intentionally develop yourself. You’ll improve your ability to create value, and you will begin to be noticed for the value you are creating,” Shelima Abji, Show Your Worth
