  • Unlock The Leader Within ~ Discover the 3 Ways We Sabotage Career Advancement

    Rosie Zilinskas, CEO, No Woman Left Behind

    Women contribute to their stalled careers without even knowing it. We start from an uneven playing field from day one. Women earn $0.77 cents for every $1.00 earned by men. Companies promote 87 women for every 100 men. MORE >

    Women unknowingly block advancing their careers by not standing up for themselves, not asking for raises and promotions, and not being confident in their contributions and worth. When women accept unacceptable situations, it has a serious impact on their earning potential, career advancement, leadership opportunities, and overall wellbeing. It doesn't have to be this way.

    Rosie has coached hundreds of women to dream big and build the thriving careers they deserve. Rosie educates, motivates, and inspires women to become the leaders they are meant to be. Her goal is to help women break past invisible barriers, accomplish the previously impossible and create exhilarating wild success.

    "Rosie was a major contributor to the success of one of our most important events of the year. She was a powerful and engaging presence who connected with our audience on many levels. Her content was inspiring and motivational while also being tangible and actionable. She received rave reviews from attendees. Rosie exceeded our expectations as one of our headline speakers, tailored her presentation to meet our needs and was a pleasure to work with. I look forward to working with her in the future."

  • No Impossible

    Hajer Rikabi, President and Founder, Thrive Coaching CORP

    There is nothing called I can't, we all have different and unique powers within us. If we can create a small chance to know ourselves better, we would see that power clearly like a full moon in a clear night. Then we can make it the source of our future's achievements. In fact every achievement in our lives is from that invisible power. And without a doubt knowing it and learn how to use this power will have a successful impact in our lives. MORE >

    For instance let me ask you:
    How many times you were surprised by the action you took and thought for a moment that nothing is impossible? I guarantee for you that you had a few if not many. Because It is the power of trying to live and staying safe, and you can change that perspective to make a better life and your dreams to come true.

    *Example of powerful decisions:

    -Taking a risk because it's the best though right now to your best knowledge, even though it may have consequences.
    -A decision you took that you have never thought about but the urge of staying safe or forbidding a harm to you or your beloved ones.

    BIG Q : Why when it comes to a good decision to make your life better you hesitate?
    This possible decision doesn't have to be for urgency or just to survive. Instead think of it like it might be your only decision you have to make to be the person you wish to be in your mind and dreams.

    For me It took me 24 hours to take the decision that turned my life 360 degree.
    When was my first thought about this decision? At 12:00 AM believe it or not.
    Searched about this idea I had and asked myself what do I have to make it work, honestly I thought I had nothing.
    But I know I learn fast and I'm willing to make it work.
    And I did it I was a completely different person.From house wife and people pleaser to self love and I'm working to create a new awareness in my community and nation to enjoy my life and to leave wiser generation behind me.

    Ask yourself: What's stopping me from being the person that I want to be?
    What I want to add to this world? and if so,
    What are my possibilities?
    Cause you have some...............

  • You don’t have to be beaten black and blue to be a victim of Domestic Violence!

    Quanna Brown, Speak up Somebody Listening

    Domestic violence is a complex issue that can manifest in various forms, often leaving victims unaware of their situation. Personally, I have endured years of physical, mental, emotional, verbal, sexual, and financial abuse from those who were supposed to care for me. Many fail to recognize non-physical forms of abuse, assuming that visible bruises are the only indicator. It is crucial to educate everyone, regardless of age, gender, or relationship status, about the different facets of domestic violence. Despite the hardships I have faced, I refuse to let my past define me. I am a survivor, a warrior, and I am determined to share my truth and my story with others. MORE >
