Next Monday We began as a movement for women leadersβ€”and today, we partner with organizations to evolve the teams and systems that surround them.

With expertise in HR, org design, communications, and culture, we align talent with strategy. We started as a movement for women leadersβ€”because leadership doesn’t wait for permission. It begins with empathy, purpose, and grit. But growth doesn’t happen in a vacuum. That’s why we also work with leadership teams and organizations to ensure the systems around leaders evolve too. With expertise in HR, organizational design, communications, and culture, we help align talent with strategyβ€”so leaders and teams grow together.

Ever feel successful on paper but unseen, exhausted, or out of alignment?

Becky Estby, CEO of Next Monday and author of Uncommon Courage: How to Reframe Success Without Sacrificing Your Soul, joins Heather Hansen O'Neill on From Fear to Fire to talk about what it takes to stop assuming you're the problem and start creating a path that fits who you really are.

In this conversation, Becky shares:
πŸ”₯ Why courage is one of the most overlooked leadership qualities
πŸ”₯ Her "mirror test" for making decisions with integrity
πŸ”₯ Why the answer isn't always to leave, but sometimes to fix what's misaligned
πŸ”₯ How to build spaces where people feel safe to speak honestly

If you're a woman leader who's ready to redefine success on your own terms, this one's for you.

We're braver together. πŸ’œ

Some of our favorite moments at the Women of Influence Summit aren't on the agenda. They happen in the hallways, at the lunch tables, and in the vendor marketplace: women who just met swapping stories, trading encouragement, and leaving as friends.

There's no competition in that room. Just genuine support.

That's what Brave Anyway looks like in community. It takes courage to stay open, to cheer for someone else's win, and to let other women in.

To every woman who showed up, for yourself and for each other: thank you. You make this community so special.

πŸ’œ Let's lift up the women around us and watch the impact grow.

Save the date for 2027: Thursday, Sept. 16. See you there!

What does success really mean to you?

It's a simple question, and many women leaders have never stopped to answer it on their own terms.

Becky Estby recently joined Crystal Petry on The Crystal Petry Podcast to talk about success, confidence, and the beliefs that hold us back.

A few ideas from the conversation:

πŸ’œ Confidence is more than a feeling. It's a belief in yourself, which is different from ability, though we need both.
πŸ’œ We're conditioned to doubt ourselves. Many of us learned it as young girls, long before we had a title.
πŸ’œ Confidence is often tied to one area. You can feel sure in the boardroom and unsure in another part of your life.
πŸ’œ Limiting beliefs are often the real culprit. They're stories we absorbed, not facts, and we can question them.

If you've been measuring yourself by someone else's ruler, this episode is for you. It's also the heart of Becky's book, Uncommon Courage.

We said Brave Anyway and you SHOWED UP. πŸ’œ

Our 11th annual Women of Influence Summit filled The Park Event Center with hundreds of women in one room, cheering each other on, trading stories, and living their leadership out loud. Watch the recap video for a snapshot of the day!

Thank you to our mainstage speakers, Melody Vachal, Jen Matzke, and Erin Mackbee, and to our video speakers, Alise Sjostrom, Cherokee Kinzie, Eusebia β€œHappy Chappy” Rios, and Dr. Amanthi Demuth. Your honesty, courage, and wisdom gave us words we’ll carry long after the lights went down.

To our partners: you make this possible. You support your women leaders, you invest in their growth, and you champion them long after the Summit ends, on the hard days, the big decisions, and every brave step in between. That is what real support looks like, and it’s changing what leadership looks like in our community. Thank you, too, for the incredible prizes!

To our vendors: thank you for fueling our shopping desires and making the marketplace a highlight of the day.

See you next year: Thursday, Sept. 16, 2027!

Remember, Brave Anyway isn't something we did. It's who you are, every day. πŸ’œ

Great experts don't automatically become great leaders.

In many organizations, people earn their way into leadership by mastering their craft. They know the work inside and out. But then we hand them a team, and too often we don't hand them the training and support to lead it. Leading people is a different skill set from doing the work, and we shouldn't expect anyone to figure it out alone.

That's why Accelerate matters.

Accelerate gives leaders the foundational elements of leadership practice, then brings it to life through:

πŸ’œ Discussion and idea sharing with peers who are facing the same challenges
πŸ’œ Real-life scenarios that reflect the situations you actually encounter
πŸ’œ Insight and action plans tailored to where you are right now, whether you're newly promoted or years into leading

This is one of the most important investments you can make in your team members. When leaders grow, their teams grow with them: stronger engagement, clearer communication, better retention, and better results.

If you have a leader on your team who has been promoted on the strength of their expertise, give them the support to succeed in the role. Encourage them to enroll in Accelerate.

Enroll before November 1 for $1,750 per participant. After November 1, the price increases to $2,000.

Invest in your leaders. Your teams will feel the difference.

Last Monday, Next Monday hosted NextUp! Protect Yourself, With Confidence, a hands-on women's self-defense course at the St. Cloud Police Department. πŸ’œ

Our instructors, Sergeant Debora Ocloo and Officer Taylor Storz, taught awareness, prevention, and practical technique in a welcoming room for every experience level. A few takeaways:

- Know GROUT: Gender, Race, Over/Under (clothing on the top and bottom), Tall (height). These details are critical when identifying someone for law enforcement.

- Use your voice. Yelling adds power behind your moves. (Shout NO, STOP, GET AWAY FROM ME)

- Practice in your mind. Your body can't go where your mind has never been. Visualize what you would do if you needed to defend yourself.

- Target weak points. When countering an attack, go for vulnerable areas like the joints (knees, elbows) and the eyes.

We love highlighting the talented women in our community. Thank you, Debora and Taylor, for sharing your expertise with us.

Watch for more NextUp! events coming soon!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. πŸ’—

Women leaders are experts at showing up for others: the team, the family, the deadline. Your health shouldn't be the thing that gets bumped.

This month, we're asking you to make one appointment you've been putting off.

πŸ’— Schedule your mammogram or screening
πŸ’— Talk with your doctor about your personal risk and when to start
πŸ’— Do the check-in with yourself you keep saying you'll get to

Then share this with a woman in your life who needs the nudge. You don't have to do it alone. Book it together.

Your well-being is not a "someday" item. Put it on the calendar.

We love you.

You checked every box. Built the career. Earned the title. So why does success still feel so heavy?

Becky Estby recently joined Divya Parekh on the Beyond Confidence podcast to talk about the hidden costs of notable achievement: why so many women mistake exhaustion for commitment, stay loyal to roles that no longer fit, and measure success by expectations that were never truly their own.

If you've ever wondered whether there's more to leadership than proving yourself, this episode offers a fresh perspective on courage, identity, and creating a life that feels as meaningful on the inside as it looks on the outside. Becky also shares inspiration behind her book, Uncommon Courage: Reframe Success Without Sacrificing Your Soul. (Order here: https://lnkd.in/ghN-EKuS)

Before you walk into that meeting, that conversation, or that inbox, try this: get curious.

When we go in knowing the answer, we stop listening. We defend, we assume, we react. But when we lead with curiosity, something shifts. There's room to learn, room to connect, and room to breathe.

Good questions open doors that certainty keeps closed:
πŸ’œ What am I missing here?
πŸ’œ What might they be seeing that I'm not?
πŸ’œ What do I actually know, and what am I assuming?

So when you feel certain, ask one more question.

And when you feel angry or emotional, pause. There's something you don't know yet. That feeling isn't a stop sign. It's a signal to get curious.

As you head into this week, choose one moment to pause and ask instead of assume.

What will you get curious about? πŸ’œ
