PIVOT AND PERSEVERE: HOW TO BE AN AGILE AND INFLUENTIAL LEADER
By: Barbara Agin

I am sure you have all heard of the book “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.”

This classic acknowledges the differences between men and women in an effort to help them communicate more effectively.

In the business world, women have unique strengths and barriers to success. When Donnalyn Giegerich, the leader of an empowerment speaking and corporate training company, was highly recommended by a female credit union professional to speak at our Convention, we thought she was a perfect complement to our speaker line-up, especially since adding on the Emerging Leaders track focused on that next generation being groomed to move up the management ladder. 

“What’s Trending with Women and Leadership” is a two-part series dedicated to women; however, each session is effective as a stand-alone…and everyone can learn a thing or two!

I asked Donnalyn about each session, and based on her responses below, this really looks like a fabulous session!

Read the full interview by Barbara Agin NJCUL VP, Member Experience & Education

Why is it important to your professional development and ability to stay valued in the workplace? DonnaLyn Giegerich Wellness and Empowerment Speaking, who was highly recommended to speak at our Convention, will review this and more in the Emerging Leaders track!

Join us at the NJCUL 84th Annual Meeting & Convention

Living Well Lifelong Learning

“Education is a lifelong journey whose destination expands as you travel.”

I had lunch last week with one of my favorite travel pals.  Elaine had just returned from a cross country RV tour and had lots of interesting experiences to share with a fellow travel junkie. I love Elaine for a lot of reasons but I was especially grateful for her enlarging conversation this month at Seed to Sprout because dreary February was starting to sabotage my sunny psyche. Elaine was the perfect elixir on that dim day. Here are three things that brightened my day:

1. Creative minds energize one another. The day may have been dark, but she was bright with  ideas for  2018. Hibernating this winter? Consider connecting with an interesting friend that you haven’t seen in awhile. I guarantee you’ll learn something new as you share your travel adventures.

2. Elaine conquered the Bisbee1000 Stair Climb in Arizona this past October during her cross country RV adventure. This 4.5 mile course includes nine staircases connected by winding roads and an interesting history in Tombstone Canyon, Arizona. Reserve your spot in 2018 on Oct 2 if you dare at  www.Bisbee1000.org. 

3. To balance our busy work lives, Elaine and I always compare notes on our yoga and wellness modalities. I shared some highlights from my recent yoga teaching assignment in Cabo San Lucas and invited her to my next yoga gig in Dominican Republic in March. She brought me up to speed on her long term success with rolfing which I admitted knowing too little about. Rolfing is a bit like  having someone do yoga for you. In short, rolfing is all about structural alignment. Created by Dr Ida Rolf, an American biochemist, this system seeks to deeply manipulate and reorganize the connective tissue(known as the fascia) that permeates the entire body. Rolfing can be thought of as a cross between physical therapy and massage where the practicioner applies  slow, deep stretching around the joints to lengthen tissue and free up the fascia so your body motors the way it was meant to move. It’s a great compliment to a yoga or pilates practice to support structural integration and a super movement therapy for pain relief. Learn more locally by asking for Rebekah at www.fromept.com. This husband and wife team have been sharing this healing modality for decades from their locations that include Manhattan, Montclair and now Asbury Park.

Elaine and I agreed to keep moving and grooving this winter and to always support one another’s lifelong learning goals tempered with trending travel tips far and wide. Learn more about Elaine’s adventures at www.NotJustADaydream.com.

Originally Published in Living Well Magazine January 2018

I spent the holiday season being inspired. How about you? As we move into the month of resolutions and solutions to improve our lives, here are three things to consider:

1.     Inspiration is everywhere. You don’t have to travel far to appreciate miracles and momentum. You do, however, have to show up well and be open to possibilities. So, how curious are you? When is the last time you asked someone to “tell me more” or “help me understand” before dismissing an idea as crazy, old school or impossible? Over the holidays, I read a memoir entitled Driving Miss Norma. The autobiography was about a feisty, wise woman and her family that creatively responded to a serious health challenge. Miss Norma’s response was “I’m ninety years old and I’m hitting the road!”. This inspirational book was enjoyed in front of the fireplace but  ignited so many ideas on what is possible despite age and adversity. Miss Norma is a role model on how to live fully with gusto.

2.     Inspiration is inclusive. While Miss Norma’s story was largely about her individual experience on the road, traveling with family made all the difference. I was inspired over the holidays by a community conference at Brookdale that celebrated Second Acts. For a closer look at some standout stories, check out www.encore.org and/or follow my speaking colleague @DonnaCardilloRN for more inspiring ways to craft your best year with family or friends. One takeaway was certain: Pulling back as we age is a disservice because we are more diverse in experience than ever before. So what are you creating in 2018 to showcase your talent and time?

3.     Inspiration is intergenerational. I was in Minnesota recently presenting on leadership at a national conference for women in financial services. I almost didn’t arrive thanks to the flu that leveled me for three hours from Newark to Minneapolis. As I crawled off the plane, I marveled at the magnificence of the strangers that helped me land on my feet. My travel companion was a retired physician from Nigeria that helped me stay calm. Our middle aged flight attendant couldn’t have been more accommodating and the baby faced pilot helped me get off the plane. When I got to the shuttle service, a random millennial cancelled her transport to accompany me to my hotel before she pursued her path. Angels of all ages were a giant source of inspiration and a reminder that good people are everywhere.

So, whether your new year’s resolution is to reinvent, reconstruct or reimagine parts of your life, remember to take notice of the inspiration all around you. It’s there, waiting to be discovered and shared. Read a reframing book, attend an empowering conference or take a trip to meet new friends of all ages. Just skip the flu and live well!
