swHw members represent nearly every industry in the workforce. But no matter whether you work full-time or part-time, paid or volunteer, inside corporate America or at your kitchen table, there's one thing you all never have enough of: TIME. So we get that you have to say no to a lot because to do what matters, you've learned you cannot do it all.  This is why every product or service we offer is created with you in mind - a purposed woman who desires growth + connection, but also needs flexibility + convenience for your already full schedule. Here's a few ways we work to save you time:  Biblical Foundation + Practical Application.  Every resource + class moves from Biblical foundation (not merely our opinion!) to practical application (not merely head knowledge). We're committed to His wisdom and our obedience.  Replays + Notes. Our classes are typically offered LIVE to allow for connection but if your work schedule does not allow you to be with us in real time, a replay is archived both in the member group + your member portal, along with a PDF of class notes. Recordings + Resources. Have something specific you'd like to know [...]

Icebreakers. We've all been in awkward settings where the question asked is waaaaaaay too personal for professional settings, or a total snooze fest because you feel like you've answered the same question so many times, you could answer for anyone in the circle, not just yourself.

How to Make Your Online Meetings More Fun!

If there’s one thing a lot of us learned in quarantine, it’s that genuine community can happen virtually. You just might have to work a little harder to get there. At she works His way, we discovered a few ways to take our online meetings as a team and as a community to the next level by valuing connection and including the one element that no leader should ever forget -- FUN!  With so many companies choosing a work-from-home model and so many online businesses, we’ve seen a huge increase in virtual teams (and that’s even before the quarantine happened!) So how do you accomplish what you need to in your meetings while also keeping the energy up and creating authentic relationships within your team? You go above and beyond whenever you’re all together -- aka you make the effort to ensure your meeting is about more than just delivering information! You include connection, laughter, energy, and inspiration. If you want a motivated team, you must be a motivational leader who thinks out of the box. About four weeks into the quarantine, our swHw team decided with almost everything happening on Zoom that we had to be better about [...]

No doubt, you've heard before that you need to be sharing "valuable content" on social media. But real question: when you scroll your feed, is "value" the first thing that comes to your mind? I'm betting not. Today's average social media scroll is stressful. Whether you feel like there are too many opinions or too many grabs for a moment of your attention, the majority of posts made contradict the name of the medium itself: social (companionship of others) media (means of communication) Companionship + Communication. (Pssst - that doesn't say sales and marketing.) Sales and marketing are a very important part of any growing organization -- but even important parts don't work when they aren't put in the right place. Your website, inbox, and email campaigns are a great avenue for exerting sales and marketing energy. But don't waste the platform that's intended to bring your brand's mission and personality to life by being overly sales-driven. To make it easier to remember, here are the 5 E's that should be the backbone of any solid social media strategy: ENGAGE It's possible to be professional and personal at the same time -- and that's what social media should be.
