I personally feel that Girl Power Talk should be the working model for all organizations. The company utilizes a supportive approach in their management style and runs as a meritocracy. Age, level of education, or typical professional experience does not factor in when it comes to advancing team members or choosing them for choice opportunities. Reward and recognition are generously given where due and the leadership truly care about everyone’s growth and advancement.
Girl Power Talk’s culture is one where inclusivity and diversity thrive. The focus is on leading with one’s heart, being passionate, innovative, and respectful towards others while working in a creative, positive workspace.
Team members at Girl Power Talk are supported, guided, and given opportunities to grow. They are encouraged to think big and pursue their passions. The whole team is a part of making the next girl, boy, or non-binary individual who is waiting for their turn to come on board feel welcome. This begins with the unique onboarding process. For the first week at Girl Power Talk, new team members receive a ton of welcoming messages and are encouraged to reach out and simply interact with the rest of the team on a personal level. As part of their orientation, they are given team videos, interviews, and meeting discussions to watch and understand what Girl Power Talk is all about. Each new team member is assigned a buddy to show them the ropes, answer all their questions, and add to that feeling of belonging to a community, a family of enterprising people.
Regular Saturday meetings for all team members contribute to developing the feeling of belonging. Often, games are played that allow for a deeper knowledge of each member. Even though most folks work remotely, they still feel very close to one another. Given the love and connection shared amongst the team, it’s hard to believe that only 20% of the team work in our main offices. At the same time, the Saturday meetings also present an opportunity for staff to understand the vision of the company, and learn what’s new about the business.
These meetings are also occasions for sharing additional education. I have attended the Public Speaking, Writing, and Financial Literacy workshops and was most impressed by the content and quality of each. Everything is well researched and presented by the incredibly talented team members.
