Empowering Business By Empowering Women - with Lucienne Shakir

In this weeks high energy episode I’m On a Mission with Lucienne Shakir, a visionary coach in the field of female empowerment with a huge vision to improve corporate infrastructures!  A very thought provoking episode where I found myself challenging my own beliefs as we got into some frank discussions. Lucienne has overcome her own adversity to find her voice which she now uses brilliantly to raise others up. We talk into the mindset that’s required when it comes to growing and scaling a business, and so much more. Another fantastic guest with some great insights.  KEY TAKEAWAYS We sometimes feel a lack of confidence when it comes to speaking out for fear that door will close to us. Overcoming this fear takes bravery and resilience, but the rewards can change the landscape for yourself and others. Many new business owners seem to develop a sense of impatience when they come to market, little realising that the journey itself is what matters. Learning to be the best enables you to remain the best when you reach the top. Equality is not necessarily about including everyone. It is also about raising those up who are at the bottom so as to ensure that the scales are balanced. Men have to navigate difficult situations and their own social burdens, but women's issues are entirely different category. Women have to endure far more in the way of challenge, and troublingly these behaviours have become normalised. BEST MOMENTS 'The more I see people like you doing this, the more I feel like I can' 'If you're going to lead then you've got to lead. You've got to push the boundaries' 'There have been a lot of things that have happening in my life that have been down to inequality, that have given me the drive that I need to speak up about this stuff' 'It's my deep inner mission to see more people represented' VALUABLE RESOURCES On A Mission - https://omny.fm/shows/on-a-mission   Lucienne Coaching - https://www.luciennecoaching.com/blog YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/EllieMckay
