CEO & Director, Nextleaf Solutions (CSE:OILS) | Cannabis, Natural Products, Food & Beverage (CPG) Marketing Professional
Unconventional wisdom and knowledge 💣 's I've learned firsthand, shared on this morning's AMA with Bloom Collective... - Radical candour belongs at the leadership table. Being able to show up as my authentic self, speak my mind, and make space for others to do the same can allow for greater clarity in decision making and enhanced trust. - Owning what you do and don't know, helps bridge the confidence gap faster and move through an accelerated learning curve while minimizing 'imposter syndrome'. Find a mentor, ask for help, speak up when you don't understand something, don't pretend to have all the answers. ...For me this was my financial literacy and corporate governance experience, being a first time CEO for a Public Company, Nextleaf Solutions (CSE:OILS) (OTCQB:OILFF). Though this is not my first time in a C-suite role for a cannabis pubco, so an appropriate skill ladder also helps! - Understand the role of gender bias in decision making, and be conscientious about where it could be helpful or a hinderance. I've challenged our marketing team to not use gender in our brand's consumer profiles. I believe we are proving that cannabis can be accessible to all, and still have a core consumer base. Values alignment > gender. 💥 If you missed the live event, and any of this sparked a thought or resonated, I'd love to hear from you below 👀👇 ➕ Join Bloom Collective for member access to upcoming events, education and opportunities unique to 'women in weed'!
