Financially Empowered Women - Beyond the Glass Ceiling: Navigating Gender Bias in Workplace Communication

I had the absolute pleasure of joining Dionne Payn (PhD) on the 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 podcast, and let me tell you—this woman is a force for good.

Dionne isn’t just talking about financial empowerment for women; she’s actively reshaping the landscape. As the CEO of 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥, she’s on a mission to create real, lasting impact—leveraging ethical investments to empower women and girls, drive social change, and build a more equitable future. Her work is not just inspiring; it’s transformational. I do love a woman who makes stuff happen!

It’s like trying to get better at piano by playing for 10,000 hours without review or adjustment. The 10,000 hours of playing bad piano won’t make you an expert, but 10,000 hours that is constantly reviewed, refine and adjusted, definitely will.
