“Women have been invited to come into the room and ‘have a seat at the table,’ but they’ve never been given the chance to have a voice in the conversation.”
Jonna Bell is a fierce advocate for women in business – and a fellow champion of flexibility as the most important ingredient in a woman’s wellness toolkit.
Jonna and I talk about women as an untapped economic force, the importance of having strong female role models (and how to be one to girls), what men can do to advocate for women, and self-talk as self-care.
Jonna Bell is Head of Marketing at The Riveter, a female-forward workspace designed for community, business acumen, and wellness. A growth hacker and change agent, she comes from the industries of hospitality, new technology, e-commerce, higher education, and design.
Highlights
- The Riveter’s approach to “female-forward” workspaces and communities, and why it matters to both men and women
- Some mind-blowing statistics about the economic power of women and women business owners in the U.S.
- The nature of women’s professional networks, how they differ from those of men, and why they sometimes prevent us from getting access to important business resources
- What men can do (and ask) to be better advocates for women entrepreneurs
- How Jonna’s mom set her on a path to championing women, and the importance of female role models
- Why doughnuts are a vital part of Jonna’s wellness plan
- Lara’s approach to wellness, and why it’s more effective for her clients than strict “dieting culture” plans
- A morning practice that allows Jonna to consciously set the pace of her day, even when it’s crazy busy
- The power of self-talk to define how we feel about ourselves – and a promise you can make to yourself to accentuate the positive
- How to make choices in your self-care routine so that it works for you, rather than following someone else’s “shoulds”
