A Summer of Support

Greetings!

Summer is here, and we're officially calling this summer "A Summer of Support!" It's our goal to support you in every season of your journey and we have loads of resources for you to reflect on and dive into all summer long. We've included a few to kickstart the summer below.

I also want to thank you for your continued generosity and support of Momentum. Because of you, our programs are reaching more women than ever before. Thank you for your continued investment and engagement in the Momentum movement. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of hundreds of women each year!

I hope you're able to find time to rest, recharge, and enjoy the beautiful summer days.

Onwards and upwards,

June Webinar: The Focused Leader

Directing others’ attention is a primary task of leadership. To do it well, leaders must be able to focus their own attention. These days that’s difficult!

People commonly think of focus as directing your attention to one thing while filtering out other things. But research shows that we focus in many ways for different purposes. Find out more on the various ways we focus, and why in this webinar with Dr. Trish Holliday.

June Podcast: Beyond Pride

Amanda Keller is the Founding Director of the Magic City Acceptance Center and guest for our Momentum Matters podcast on June 21st.

Amanda will introduce our audience to the opportunities and challenges for the LGBTQ+ community in the current environment, as well as give practical tips for leaders to support their LGBTQ+ employees, family and friends beyond Pride Month.

"I know the power of even one woman believing in you and I realize how important that is. So when we talk about things like gender equity, and especially when we talk about LGBTQ+ women, there's so much power in our community when we come together and support each other."

- Dr. Lindsay Sutton
