Quotes:
03:57
âWhenever we hear capital, so we think about money we think about raising money which are very important, but we have to remember all the other types of capital that can contribute to growth as wellâ -Melodie
04:11
âFor us wisdom capital it includes all the knowledge, all the skills, your lived experiences, the wisdom that women bring and that they further develop by participating in our programs.â-Melodie
04:25
âAt the Forum for us wisdom capital is also brought into our community by our mentors, our board, our team, basically everyone that is part of the forum, so itâs really an evolving concept, everyone brings it together and it involves not only having knowledge but really knowing what to do with that knowledgeâ â Melodie
04:56
âWe want to show women they already have that capital, they already come with their own set of capitals and really have that abundance mindset and really make them realize that they are already rich in that wisdom capital, so for us thatâs really one of the 3 pillars that we really chose to activate.â- Melodie
05:30
âFor many women entrepreneurs we underestimate our full potential.â -Shannon
07:15
âKnowledge is power, knowing your numbers is such a powerful tool.â -Melodie
17:05
â(Community) is basically what weâre all about, and yes we deliver programs but I would say community is the foundation of it all, itâs key, itâs the most important things that we like to talk about, really refers to us becoming a part of and contributing to a supportive community of mentors, champions, women entrepreneurs and really grounded in- practice community as a verb because to us being part of a community itâs an action.â -Melodie
22:57
âTalking about money will help you gain an understanding of where have you arrived on your business path, how did you get here, and really embrace this new financial level by asking the right questions to the right people in order to start focusing on things that are really important to you that align with your values rather than putting all of your energy into growing a part of your business that is maybe not as important to you.â -Melodie
