Today is the 80 year anniversary of D-Day.As a proud Canadian, I grew up with the stories of the boys who went to war, and also the family stories of what it was like for my grandparents who lived through the war in the Netherlands.I am so grateful for the sacrifice these men, their families made. And grateful for the freedom that we all may experience now.May we all remember and share this forward in new generations looking for peaceful solutions.

Ever felt like you’re walking on eggshells with your team? I did, until I found a solution.A few years ago, while managing a team, I struggled to be clear and effective. No matter how much data I presented, I couldn't connect with my team. Being overly directive led to resistance, cut-off communication, and perceptions of aggressiveness. The frustration was immense—I wanted to empower my team, but felt stuck.The turning point came when I realized my approach was closing off my team and affecting our work quality. That’s when I discovered the 'Boardroom Whisper' technique and the power of 'I' statements. By shifting the focus to my perspective, I could express my ideas without triggering defensiveness. For example,instead of saying, "You need to do this," I started saying, "I propose we focus on customer retention for long-term success" made a significant difference.The transformation was immediate. My team started responding positively, deadlines were met, and the quality of our work improved. Inspired by this change, I created the Boardroom Whisper Checklist to help other women leaders achieve similar results.Ana went from being stuck in endless discussion and criticism to her teams being onboard with decisions, proactively taking action to execute her vision and strategy.If you’re ready to balance assertiveness and respect in your leadership, comment 'BOARDROOM' below, and I’ll send you the checklist for free. Don’t let the fear of being too aggressive hold you back. Start transforming your leadership experiences today.Comment 'BOARDROOM' to get the checklist and start building that empowered and high performing team!

Saturday was a day, celebrating friendship and the amazing impact that we as a community with Ladies' Circle Nederland have made!For me personally, I love being part of a community of highly motivated and truly generous women, where each of us brings our talents and look to find ways to make both our own local communities and national communities better. Through out time, commitment and fundraising.So during our annual members meeting, along with meeting ladies who quickly become dear friends, we also got to see the final tallies for the amount we fundraised together.Over €500,000 money raised by all the circles which go into different initiatives locally. And together we also raise over €240,000 for Huntington, which now will help fund research and also the families of those who are affected by Huntington. This is making an impact.This is community.This is the power of working together and making a difference!So proud to be part of this organization, together with my dear ladies in Ladies’ Circle 66 Son en Breugel!
