Taylor-Ann Wright (Friesz) liked thisTaylor-Ann Wright (Friesz) liked thisClosing off Women's History Month the best way I know how: getting a group of motivating, caring, and authentic women together to share their stories, share their wisdom, and laughs along the way. All from different parts of the country, different upbringings, and representing different generations, yet what all have in common is their love for their craft and their PEOPLE. Hats off to Kim Imperiale , Kayla Hibbert, Heidi Sokolowski, and Stacie Meehan, for letting us into your worlds that are full of empathy, kindness, inclusivity, and love. Remember: believe in yourselves (say goodbye to Imposter Syndrome), show each other and your teams grace, and lead by example. As I reflect on this Conversations for Change, being my last time hosting and being part of the beloved DIAC community, your stories have changed my life, truly. They have provided epiphanies, lessons, and most of all comfort, that we are not alone, that we are a lot more alike than not, if only we open our minds and hearts. To all the people that allowed me into your lives and stories, THANK YOU, it meant the world to me. Thank you to the fabulous DIAC team, their support & the Conversations for Change behind-the-scenes crew: Rick Brown , Trudy Halliman (she/her), Melissa Satterfield, and Transatlantic Translations Group for cheering us on, providing feedback, and making the Live sessions happen ❤️ Thank you to Flik Hospitality Group and my entire DIAC community, your unwavering fight for diversity, belonging, and inclusion does not go unnoticed. Keep on the good fight! 🤘 "I am a proud mother of 2 loving & rambunctious pups, I am an advocate for those who do not have a voice, and I am a proud immigrant of Chile, my name is Cinthya Salinas, and this is me signing out" 🫶 #FLIK #DIAC #Diversity #Belonging #Inclusivity #BelieveWomen #WHM Compass Group USA

Too many leaders treat one-to-one meetings as a “nice-to-have” rather than a leadership tool. But the truth is, your one-to-ones are where the magic happens, the trust is built, issues surface early, and your team feels seen and valued. Skip them, and engagement slips. Make them a priority, and your people thrive, and so does your business. #Leadership #TeamEngagement #Trust #OneToOneMeetings #ExecutiveTips #PeopleManagement #EmployeeGrowth
