Thank you Nel Leland Soper hosting a FANTASTIC National Women’s Day gathering ‘Empowered Women Empower Women!’ at the Clarke Cooke House and her beautiful store Monelle. The energy in the room was spectacular with over 60 dynamic women of all ages sharing the stories and getting to know one another. Wine, food, inspirational words, gifts and shopping. I met new friends and was thrilled to connect with inspiring women I know like Kim Fuller, Katie McDonald, Ann Souder, Heather Ruhsam, Hollie Toppa, and more. And Thank You to the 14 women who helped sponsor Nel’s event! I came home energized, joy filled carrying a shopping bag 😉. , , , ,

Fast Cars & Boats: Building Bridges

This week’s story in Forbes.com is a constructive example of how bridging our sports (and industries) creates increased exposure to a wider audience.

Recently I was invited to give the opening key note at WIMNA’s Women with Drive II conference at Charlotte Motor Speedway. In talking about the emerging path of women in elite sailing I emphasized the synergies between high technology sailing and motorsports. To make the point I shared the story of leading Red Bull F1 drivers Max Verstappen and Checo Perez who jumped on board Team USA at the recent St. Tropez SailGP event. This is a real life example of the benefit of Building Bridges which leads to innovation, growth and more fans , , , ,

Red Bull is a huge player in my exciting little area of expertise—the intersection where Formula 1 and high-performance sailboat racing meet.

Such a privilege and a BLAST to key note at the Women with Drive II conference at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Sharing our new pathways for women to elite sailing and our America’s Cup technology trends with so many leaders in motorsport birthed synergies, new ideas and thoughts for partnerships.
