Rhonda Leeman Taylor is a native of Canada.  She was one of the founding pioneers of woman’s Canadian hockey as it was being reborn in the 1980s.  She is now involved in assisting companies with their marketing and recruiting with specialized software at Advos, the HR Marketers and Fuel 50.

This is a candid conversation about women in the workplace, women in sports and women in the boardroom.  Rhonda shares some incredible stories that you might think come from the dark ages, but happened not that long ago.  Her experience in women’s hockey gave her more power to counteract the disturbing treatment that she experienced. Her perseverance will help generations of women in the future.

It’s important to understand that no matter where you are on the organizational chart, at some time, even if not all the time, you ARE a leader that someone is looking to for guidance, approval and permission.  That comes with some responsibilities, for instance, how do you empower those that ARE looking to you for guidance?  The definition of empowerment means to promote the self-actualization or influence of someone.  The best leaders are those that empower others to become what they can be, beyond even their own expectations.  They can see what others don’t see in themselves.

Welcome to 2020.  It is a new year and you are probably filled with personal and professional goals.  Unfortunately, some research has shown that less than 25% of you will keep your personal resolutions past 30 days and only 8% of you will keep them over time.  Of course, in business, this would spell disaster. But it is still a struggle, mainly because not enough time and thought is put into shaping business goals, planning for their execution and being open to change.
