  It doesn't have to be lonely at the top. Sometimes women feel they have so much more to prove than men, that they keep every task, project, or issue to themselves. This can lead to destruction if you're not careful. Ladies, you can be a leader and still delegate critical tasks to others, while maintaining control. There's no rule that says in order to be successful you HAVE to do it all. Join me as my guests and I discuss how women in top positions handle leadership and delegating. We will be discussing how to learn how to delegate in order to lead effectively, the pitfalls of not delegating, hiring the right people and deciding what should be delegated, and how to create an environment where people will gladly follow your lead because they believe in your vision and mission. Tune in live at 9AM EST at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/viewsfromthetop and join the conversation in the chat room. Call in with questions or comments at (347) 215-9362.

  The Takeover- Women Taking Back Our Images in Hollywood

  The reviews are in and they're not good. Women are tired of the images of women portrayed in entertainment. Even though there are show that have strong heroines as the focal point, behind the scenes women still don't have the control and decision making power. What you see in front of the camera is NOT a real reflection of what's behind the scenes. Join my guests as we attempt to shed light on the situation and talk about what we need to do to elevate more women into power positions.

  Fearless Woman

  The topic of the show is Fearless Women. Join me and my guests as we focus the topic on women following their passion and stepping out on faith to start their business. I want the show to serve as motivation not just to start a business, but to think big, act big and believe big. Panelist will share their best practices on starting out on your own, selecting an advisory board, finding mentors, stepping out of the comfort zone of “safe” businesses and really going for broke (so to speak). Fearless Women, savvy trendsetters, movers & shakers are the focus of the show. Most women want to learn how to become all of those and this show will give them some insight on how to do just that.
