Why I Talk About Empowering Women

When I tell people about Brand Intentions, I often get the same question: why are you offering services designed for women? I am not choosing to work with women at the exclusion of men – I do not discriminate in my desire to help people become the best versions of themselves – and I do in fact work with male clients. But I choose to speak directly to women because I believe that women do not yet have an equal voice. My mission is to give women the tools they need to build their confidence and find their voice – because a confident woman is a powerful woman.

Personal branding is more than trendy marketing speak. When we are clear about what defines us and what drives us as individuals, we create power for ourselves. I know firsthand that this is especially important for women in business.

Women face unique challenges in their lives that often lead to limiting beliefs and behaviors. We struggle with body image issues, with the belief that we must do it all to “have it all,” we struggle with impostor syndrome, with feeling less than, with failing to see that someone else’s highlight reel is not real life. And this list is only some of the things we impose on ourselves.

It is my mission to help change the message we tell each other by first rewriting the message we tell ourselves. So often I see women block each other, or worse, tear each other down. I believe that we do this to each other because we have been conditioned to behave that way. We are taught to believe that there is only one path to success, and we must mold ourselves to fit on that path while leaving others behind. But there is no one real path to success, and there is room for everyone.

When we, as women, truly feel more powerful as individuals, we can rewrite the collective message about what it means to succeed as women in business; and in life.
