Fearless Females
…
One of my goals for 2015: spotlighting & advancing women through a monthly “ Fearless Females Forum ” feature blog post, a showcase for inspiring women who found the courage to meet their calling, solve a problem, overcome odds, or take a road less traveled.
Wish I could take credit for this idea, but like most great ideas it is inspired by someone else’s work: Ann Quasman at Woman Talk Live .
Last year, the amazing Ann shined a spotlight on me in her WomenTalkLive5: Meet Jone Bosworth . I absolutely love how Ann lifts women’s voices and stories out in this powerful way. (Hats off Ann—hope you feel that imitation is the greatest form of flattery, my friend!)
On December 8th, the terrific Traci Johnstone allowed me to post her story to test out this Fearless Females Forum concept. Traci’s story got an incredible response on social media, inspiring hundreds: Tarnish to Triumph: Traci Johnstone . (Many thanks, Traci, you’re fearless!)
You don’t have to be a CEO. You may not even consider yourself “fearless.” But YOU have a story to tell and guidance to offer too.
Want some inspiration?

Before I go, let me say this: Don’t you dare think for a second you don’t “deserve” to be spotlighted , you DO! Still hesitant?
