Update with Bonnie St. John

Pearl Girl Bonnie St. John has been having a whirlwind year! We recently caught up with her about recent and upcoming events.

I am involved in some wonderful things right now that allow me to serve and give back: Last week I was the emcee for a fantastic fundraising event in NYC for Wounded Warriors and my local chapter of Disabled Sports. Before that Darcy and I spoke to 800 high school girls in Kentucky on leadership. This week I am the closing speaker for the Catalyst NYC Conference that promotes women’s leadership. And Friday I am on a panel to help the 2014 Olympic/Paralympic teams with future career planning in DC.

Of course, some of the most fascinating work I get to do these days with my team at Blue Circle Leadership isn’t open to the public. In the healthcare industry, we are working with women leaders on three specialized experiences designed to make positive change happen. With our Micro-Resilience program, we’ve taken some big steps forward in our research and development, and we will soon be working with beta-testers on a new Micro-Resilience app! Clients in energy, financial services, and healthcare are giving Micro-Resilience rave reviews for increasing the focus, innovation, and energy of high-performing teams.

We also just published a Huffington Post article on how perfectionism can undermine women in leadership that has generated a lot of discussion online. Share the link with your recovering perfectionist friends!

As my mentor, Warren Witherell said, “It’s all about building Communities of Champions!”

Cheers,

Bonnie
