Women Unlimited Inspiration, lnnovation, Collaboration

Last year at Thrive 2012 (have you checked out Thrive 2013 yet?!) we decided to do something a bit different. Rather than running a conference where all the speakers had made millions and squillions of dollars, I wanted to inspire the audience with some of YOUR stories. Women from our own commmunity who had started up their own businesses and had come along to our workshops and events. Women who had made the leap of faith and jumped into their new venture with anticipation, fear, excitement and hope. We had ... Read More »

Yesterday I received an endorsement notification from LinkedIn that Hela Wozniak Kay (one of the dynamic duo that created Sister Snog) has endorsed me for blogging.  And this got me thinking.  Why blogging?  So I did a little bit of investigation and figured out what the answer was and in this video I share with you a quick behind the scenes look at how you can give and get endorsements for better keywords. I think the endorsement function of LinkedIn is a great and simple addition to what is already ... Read More »

This TED Talk is one of the most inspiring speeches I have seen in a long time (massive thanks to Leanne Dal Santo from @Smartbags for sharing it with me).  Jane McGonigal shares how she turned herself around while in the depths of depression and found the secret to creating more happiness and extending your life. If you are experiencing any personal challenges in your life, watch this video – it will make a big difference.   Read More »

If my life were a book, and I were the author, how would I want this story to go? This is the question that Amy Purdy asked herself when she lost her legs. This is truly one of the most inspiring and emotional videos I’ve watched in a long time. Give yourself and gift and watch it too. I promise, it will make you think differently about your life and what is possible. Read More »

Oh my god, I love this woman.  And what’s even better, Sheryl Sandberg, another of my heroes is interviewing her.  Oprah is without a doubt one of the most dynamic and influential women of our time and she is wise beyond words (see my post, 10  things we can learn from Oprahs about business).  In this video she talks about her own fears in launching the O network and how she is managing now that she is not running her show every day. I started to write some of the ... Read More »

I’m currently putting together the presentation for this month’s Moxie Club and as part of my research came across this amazing video from Tony Hseih, the CEO of Zappos. Zappos has become the most successful online shoe retailer in the US starting from $1.6m in 1999 to $1.2 billion last year (wow!). Their secret to success is not a secret and there is some great advice and wisdom in this video. I hope you enjoy it! Read More »

Love this video … a very timely and inspirational reminder to stay true to our dreams and visions and keep on going! Read More »

I first saw this during the TED Women event back in December 2010 and thought it was amazing. So have decided to put it up here on the Women Unlimited website. I hope you enjoy it. Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg looks at why a smaller percentage of women than men reach the top of their professions — and offers 3 powerful pieces of advice to women aiming for the C-suite. Long before Sheryl Sandberg left Google to join Facebook as its Chief Operating Officer in 2008, she was a fan. ... Read More »

Yesterday at our 3rd Annual Conference, we showed this video as part of the introduction to the event.  We put it together to celebrate 100 years of inspiring women, as this is the 100th year of International Women’s Day.   These are just a few of the women that have each changed the world for the better in their own way. These women are all leaders in their fields and inspiring in so many ways. They share Read More »
