March Special Edition Editor's Note: Welcome to this month's Women Thrive Special Women's History Month Magazine issue.
I am excited about women's month as the whole world gets to see the unity and power of women coming together. This truly calls for a celebration because women are truly phenomenal leaders in our businesses, boardrooms, homes, in our communities.

International Womens Day
Fun fact: International Women's Day was first celebrated on March 19th 1911.
8th of March A vision came to me. A vision of a world where women rise together in sisterhood. Where we cherish and honour the sacred bond of the divine feminine. Where we fearcly have each other's backs and know when women come together the ground will shake and the world will be transformed.
- Em Atkinson
At Women in Business Club we stand for women empowerment, equity and women's rights. We are a community for women.

Empowering Women and Girls by Paying it Forward Neetu Jhaj
Empowering Women and Girls by Paying it Forward When we met Neetu Jhaj, we were drawn to her passion to pay it forward to women and girls. Neetu is the founder of Rehna Raiya, an empowering and uplifting clothing line for young girls with a unique charitable component. Neetu worked for years to develop and launch a clothing line to fill gaps in the girls’ clothing industry. She wanted to help young girls and teenagers feel confident, independent and empowered.
Neetu Jhaj Aside from launching a first-ofits-kind concept that provides girls with independence when wearing a convertible jumpsuit, every dress in the collection also comes with matching shorts so a girl can play like any boy without limitation. A significant percentage of net proceeds from the clothing line benefit the Rehna Raiya Foundation’s mission to empower and educate youth.
With her husband Rick and daughters Rehna and Raiya, Neetu finds many occasions throughout the year to donate time and resources to youth educational causes, school supplies, resources and meals to those in underprivileged communities. “My husband and I work every day to

It is an honour to be able to pay it forward and positively “My husband and I work every day to impact someone who was just like me teach our daughters that the true once –a timid brown girl who didn’t measure of success is how you were able to make life better for others.” believe she had potential.” teach our daughters that the true
Years ago, an employee shared her dream with Neetu to be the first in her family to go to medical school. Neetu encouraged her to go for it.
“Every woman is capable of her dreams. She just needs to believe it and then work hard to achieve it.” says Neetu. This past summer, Neetu and her husband got a call from this same employee sharing good news on her medical school acceptance but bad news that educational loans fell short to cover tuition for the first year. Neetu and her husband weren’t going to let this roadblock keep her from fulfilling her dreams and gave her a loan to cover the remainder. Neetu and her family feel blessed for this greater purpose to pay it forward to the next generation. Leadership has been a natural evolution of Neetu’s desire to level the playing field for women and girls. When she observed lack of representation of brown women at a social non-profit club, Neetu asked to be put on a committee. Initially met with silence and then told there was no room on a committee, Neetu took the issue to
the top of the chain. Not only did Neetu receive a seat on a committee, but within five years, she became the first woman president in the 30-year-old history of the club. As president, she worked to create a policy to allow a fair and equitable opportunity for women to serve on the board. There are now women serving on this board who were previously told they did not qualify. Neetu considers it important to lead by example and leave a lasting imprint for the generations that will follow. “It’s important to show the next generation of girls what they are capable of and encourage them to push the envelope even farther.”
“There is power in actions and words. My daughters and I begin and end each day with the same powerful words: I love myself I believe in myself I am unstoppable!”
Neetu is the Founder & CEO of Rehna Raiya, an empowerment clothing line for girls that donates 5% to 100% of net proceeds to youth charitable causes. Neetu founded the Rehna Raiya Foundation, a private foundation dedicated to the educational advancement and empowerment of youth.
Along with her husband and his family, Neetu is an owner of Countryside Corporation, a three-prong construction, real estate acquisition and retail development company that owns and operates multinational brands (Shell, Subway, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut).

With media trends and styles changing fashion faster than many of us can keep track, having a clear idea of how women should “show up in their messaging” is a question that deserves clear answers.

When women own their stories they own their voice and place in the world by being able to position themselves actively rather than allowing external entities to define their place.
Every women I have coached has expressed some from of dissatisfaction with areas of how they are perceived or treated in different areas of their life.
Here are 5 top tip on how to do that. 1.When faced with language that you feel is inappropriate or offensive to yourself or

with negativity.
2. If you are in a situation where physical contact is not appropriate maintain a habit of defining your boundaries as soon as they are crosses. Understand in advance what spaces are acceptable for your comfort and safety and do not leave it to chance that others will understand what your needs are. Thinking ahead can make the difference between a violation of your person taking place or not.
3.
Create a culture where women speak openly about their challenges. So many women feel they are the only one experiencing communication dynamics that they are not happy with. Fear of being labelled as “sensitive” or “difficult” often hold women back from asserting their true feelings about their unhappiness.
4. Many women have yet to actually establish their own clear set of values that define their identity and how they want to show up in the world. Give yourself time to develop this side of yourself. Do you enjoy jokes that put other people down or mock cultures? Are you a bystander in situations where people are not respected or are you an action taker to intervene in a crisis dynamic and advocate on behalf of others?
5. Do you perceive femininity as a weakness? Many women are faced with the dilemma of compromising their natural feminine energy and adopting hyper-masculine traits in order to be respected or taken seriously. Where do you stand on this issue? Did you know that the United Nations actively recruits women and positions them in the most critical negotiation dynamics as statistically, they have higher rates of success on reaching closure in a dispute? The nurturing female vibe is indeed a superpower!
In conclusion, even if you start using 1 or 2 of these communication shifts in your language habits, you will see a great change in, not only how people treat you, but how you feel about yourself in terms of confidence and self respect. Of course aim to use all of these points and share all of these tips, let me know the results you get in my contact details at the end of the article!

Best Steps on How to Use Your Instincts to Develop your Intuition Written By Kim Woods From Albert Einstein to Oprah Winfrey, great leaders rely on their intuition to make better decisions, spark passions and discover creative solutions.
Your intuition most likely hasn’t been given a chance in your life. For most people, your intuition doesn't automatically start speaking to you the minute you decide you want to use it.
As you've most likely shut your intuition down many times throughout your life, it’s gone Yet for many, knowing when it’s their intuition versus their mind is so difficult, it stops them from pursuing their intuitive gifts These people fail to develop their intuition, not because they don’t have it, but because they don’t know how to recognize intuition in the first place.
quiet. Your intuition needs encouragement to get started, so begin with instinct as it’s the best first step.
The NO answers are always stronger as they are the instinctive fight or flight response. Your YES answers are subtler. In fact, subtle YES answers may not generate any feeling at all.
1.
Identify your ‘gut’ instinct Your instinct is your doorway into intuition. It's the initial nudge giving you a reaction not involving your mind. When you ask yourself questions, your instinct gives your body a visceral response. It’s a YES or NO reaction.
If the answer to your question is a NO, you feel it in your body immediately. This is where the statements, “gut instinct” or the ‘hair on the back of my neck stood up” come from as your body gives you feedback about whether something is good for you or not.
2. Feel instinct in your body The key is determining how your body communicates instinctively with you. For many, your instinctive feelings arise in your belly or your neck, but for others, your body responds differently. The key, therefore, is to figure out how your instinct responds to a YES

Your actions are an affirmation you’re open to using your intuition. Follow your instincts. By doing so, you’re extending an invitation to have your intuition begin a more in-depth conversation with you.
4.Give
your mind a job
You must create space for your intuition to talk to you as it begins as a whisper, inking or nudge. Your mind is busy creating distractions, so give your mind a job to let your intuition speak. You can change your surroundings, allow your mind to wander while doing

something else or create ease with soothing music. With your mind occupied, your intuition comes forth.
Your intuition lets itself be known in subtle ways, so pay attention. The difference between your intuition and mind is night and day. Your intuition is fleeting, illogical and incomplete while your mind is rational, logical and complete.
You may not want to follow your intuition, because it hasn’t told you the whole story. Yet, this is exactly the point. Your intuition knows more than your mind. Let it become your guide, advisor and confidante. When you do, you’ll be in the company of great leaders.

Putting On Your Power A method to derive self confidence and empower others by Alexandra Prince - Style Architect Putting on your power is an extension of the well-worn concept—if you look good, you feel good. It's a tried and true method women have used to elevate their mood for decades.
We can take this idea one step further. Rather than just feeling good, you can feel confident. Powerful. By identifying certain articles of clothing or outfits that make you feel empowered, like the woman you know you are, you can generate an energy shift to one of elevated confidence. But these vibrations aren't just for you. They will be expressed to the world and received by everyone with whom you interact, ultimately empowering other women to do the same.
But this is not a cookie-cutter process. Just like how no two women are exactly the same person, the same
Everyone has a unique life experience, their own likes and dislikes, and distinct personality traits, so it makes sense that we all derive power from different symbolic sources. And honestly, thank goodness for that! The opportunity to experience someone else through the way they choose to dress and show up is a privilege for the senses.
The vast diversity of self-expression creates a pool of inspiration begging you to explore. Whether it's how

Three Reasons Why the World Needs Female Entrepreneurs and Women Leaders Written By Claudia Spahr Why do we even have a women’s history month? Why do we need an International Women’s Day?
Most of the world’s nations have never had a female head of state or government. There are still not enough women with a seat at the table. Here are some hard-hitting facts:

voices.
1.
Women do things differently, they are often more focused on the whole and collaborative, as well as cooperative in their approach. Focusing on relationships is by default a very feminine trait. Women are the gender who grow, birth and nourish children, hence nurturing is built into the female DNA.
2.
Just because it has been like this for thousands of years, doesn’t mean that it’s is natural or normal to divide the genders. If we look at the last 5000 years men have been placed over women in practically all cultures and societies across the globe. In our patriarchal systems, men have gotten the better deal and the male-led institutions have dominated over women, especially in

deciding who gets to marry whom.
For example, in Ancient Greece, the birthplace of modern democracy, those with a womb had no legal rights. It was only the men who could participate in assemblies. But Celtic Europe had more balance between the sexes. And if we look even further back to the Palaeolithic and Neolithic periods, there was a reverence for the fertile feminine principle.
Full-bodied, pregnant Goddess figurines and fertility Goddess figures have been found dating as far back as 25’000 years ago. In the aboriginal culture and First Nations culture of Australia, it was all about being in the right relationship with the land which informed our relationship to people. When we honour the feminine within our culture, we honour the source of life itself.
3.
Compassionate leaders with emotional intelligence are essential for a healthy functioning of society. Emotional labour and the work done in the home by women is undervalued all over the world. It is underpaid labour because most of us feel entitled to be cared for and comforted, listened to and accepted, no matter how we’re showing up. Emotional labour is traditionally the work of women, particularly mothers. It is quintessential to our health and

They Told Me To Shut Up Written by Moira Ni Ghallachoir Do you have any memories from school that you feel are special? Or memories that stick in your mind for other perhaps not so positive reasons. Either way, you may be able to relate to this.
I grew up in Scotland and later Donegal in Ireland. My only memories of school are for being in trouble for talking too much. I grew up with a clear message of you can show up, you can be seen, but you cannot be heard. And if you are, there will be consequences.
Does that sound familiar?
Every time I think back to when I was a child, these words ring in my ears: shut up, stop talking, get out of here. These were used so frequently, that by the age of 10, I believed that I was cursed for speaking too much. It was the same thing in secondary or high school as I was always in trouble. Not only with the teachers but also with my friends.
Have you ever tried to talk

world back then. It was not easy to share my mind. Every time I wanted to share my opinion, I was either shunned by my friends or told to get out of the classroom by my teachers.
As a result, I became famous as the one who talked too much. Among the many incidences, there is one that I want to specifically share. One day I was standing outside my classroom door because as usual, I was in trouble for talking. I heard another teacher coming down the corridor.
a lot bigger then. And even though I held my stomach in tight she saw me.
“Outside again for talking too much", she said, "you know you’re not going to get very far if all you want to do is talk.”
At this point, I knew I had to do something. And one of the BEST decisions I ever made was NOT to listen to her. And instead, listen to the voice in my own head. The one that was literally shouting, “Your voice is your ticket to great things!”
And that’s how Moira, The International Speaker, was born. Now I travel the world as an

You Are Not Everyone's Cup of Tea. You can beat the stereotypes and build a visible & Impactful Brand Written By Eloho Efemuai I used to think that my selfworth depended on what others thought or said about me and for years I struggled to fit in. The beliefs, misconceptions and expectations that were placed on me as a woman of faith, singer, radio broadcaster and woman in business held me back from truly living and building an impactful brand. Today I am not that woman, and I am now helping other women of faith like me build visible and impactful brands.
Stereotypes have a way of conditioning our thoughts and actions and if not dealt with hinders us from attaining our full potential. Stereotypes can leave you second-guessing yourself and stop you from stepping into your greatness, impacting your world, and doing the things you were designed to do.
For years I battled with a lack of confidence and low self-esteem because of stereotypes, I never felt enough or good enough. I thought that I had to be everybody’s “cup of tea”.
This not only crippled my personal growth & selfdevelopment, but it also affected my relationships. I realized I was going around the same circle over and over again, making the same mistakes and I genuinely felt that I had a problem. I really wanted to build an impactful brand and help others like me but struggled until I realized that to build or grow anything at all, I had to know myself, recognise the value that I bring and see worth in myself.
You see one thing that cripples the growth and progress of many of us is not necessarily an external factor, such as other people's opinions, as we often imagine; rather, it is you and I being the antagonists of our very own story.
Every one of us needs to understand ourselves, identify our weaknesses, strengths, uniqueness and use them to our advantage.
We cannot grow ourselves if we do not know and understand ourselves, we cannot truly build an impactful brand, business, or anything for that matter if we do not know and understand ourselves. We cannot hide our talents because we are afraid of failure and the stereotypes placed on us.
Once I understood this, I made up my mind that I was going to beat all the stereotypes, intentionally grow my visibility, build a 360-brand that would leave a lasting positive impact on the lives of the people that I encountered.

things that helped me build a 360-degree brand that is not just visible but impactful.
ABOUT ME My name is Eloho Efemuai. I am a brand visibility coach, singer, speaker, author and radio broadcaster. I help creatives & women of faith to stop doubting their potential, and unleash their inner confidence by beating the stereotypes, to create a 360-degree visible and impactful brand.
I run Scotland’s Number One Online Christian Radio station, Heartsong Live in Edinburgh. You can find me broadcasting words of inspiration every Monday to Thursday morning from 6:30am.
As a professional singer who’s released two studio albums, I have attracted an equally impressive tribe, drawn to my soulful voice and positive messages. Across my social media channels, I have almost 60thousand fans, who engage with me on a regular basis.
Achieving such impressive follower numbers within just a few years has meant that word has spread rapidly about my social media expertise and ability to inspire and empower women of faith to discover their true potential.
As a John Maxwell Certified coach, my desire is to add value to the lives of those I encounter, particularly women who struggle with a lack of confidence and low self-esteem, helping them break out of stereotypes to become the women they were designed to be.
