Woman Power Wednesday - Expecting big things out of these three

Emma Isenhart, Amy Solheim, Lucy May Singletary - Gig'em!
Above photo was taken with Lucy's new iPhone I believe. Pretty cool camera for such a small device! I am looking forward to seeing what these three girls do in the coming years. 

Lucy meets with Genia Blanchard tomorrow of Strategic Positioning to review her Birkman assessment. I could see Lucy running The Birkman Group one day! She is one of the most self-aware young ladies I have ever had the privilege of knowing and knowing well. I love you Lucy! 

I pray your time with Ms. Blanchard is productive and valuable. She is such a unique person with a global perspective that you are really going to enjoy. This excerpt from her bio gives you a sense of this perspective:
Her focus is creating bridges between different cultures and generations to work toward “healthy organizations”. Genia's business experience is broad and deep. She trained Native Americans, ran a small manufacturing plant, edited architectural magazines, and coached CEOs. She has worked in multiple countries and cultures and with all age leaders and teams. Her consulting clients range from Fortune 50 to start ups. This experience has given her the opportunity to be personally involved in every facet of leading and operating a business, including marketing, advertising, administration and production. From these experiences, Genia has developed an innate sense of the how to grow and develop leaders in today’s complex business environment. Genia taught Professional Practices in the design school at UCLA. Her programs on Leadership Team Development have been used by both for profit and non-profit organizations. Genia lives in Austin, Texas with her partner and husband Jim where she is active in civic, church and school activities.
I've been working with Genia's husband, Jim Blanchard on some professional and personal development these past few weeks. We have our 5 of 5, one-hour 'coaching' session coming up soon. I worked with Jim years ago when running the Balfour College Division and it has been rewarding to reconnect, recharge, and refocus with Jim. I will be sharing some of the things we have worked on together soon with the family.

This might be a fun conference to attend one day if the schedule works out: Birkman Conference Connect: Vision 20/20
