Hybrid is the new normal, and an opportunity to rethink and remake organizational culture together. A recent HP Canada survey found that over a third of Canadian employees believe a hybrid work model is the most beneficial for advancing marginalized groups. Yet the increasing multicultural workforce comes with the challenge of integrating different cultures and wisdom in the workplace. While the importance of workplace culture is growing, and a Deloitte survey found that 94% of executives and 88% of employees believe a distinct workplace culture is important to business success, 81% of employees believe their managers need to be better trained to effectively manage a hybrid workplace team.

Too many women are hustling the joy right out of their business, and it’s costing them money. They work longer and longer hours struggling to get ahead and grow their brand... They put up with nightmare clients who suck up their time and steal their sanity... They tone down their magic trying to be everything for everybody… Maybe you can relate. Before I cracked the code and built a 7-figure business that I ADORE, I did all those things too. In fact, I hustled so hard I literally made myself sick. Then everything came to a screeching halt — including my cash flow. That’s when I met a teacher who showed me the real way to build lasting, reliable revenue. Now, I’ve put together a free Masterclass to show you how to do it too. It all comes down to one small change that creates an incredibly lucrative domino effect for your entire brand. |
