(Pre-Recorded) Choose to Challenge - Proclaiming Independence with Women in the Arena

Tune into this Choose to Challenge Episode that airs on e360TV.com. In the United States, July 4th, is a celebration of freedom and independence. Often the catalyst that has fueled revolutions and instigated change, as been through the bold expressions captured in the spoken word or the power of the pen. Our voice is an instrument that can resound with beauty and love or be filled with anger and hate. It's an instrument that can create calm or disruption depending on the player. Let's imagine that we align this instrument with a purpose that is higher than ourselves. Imagine if we set aside ego and began to play melodies that created shifts and changes to create a better world for those we encountered. Imagine, if we paused each time we decided to pick up our instrument and thought carefully about the song we were about to play. LaWanna Bradford (The Bradford Group/The Bradford Group Consulting) guest Audra Agen explore using your voice for impact, just as those who signed the United State's Declaration of Independence, and what it means to be a Woman in the Arena. ________________________________________ Audra Agen is a corporate veteran with 25 years’ experience of being one of the few women in the room, and in many cases, the only one. While the women may have been outnumbered, they were all uniquely exceptional. She became fascinated learning more about them and their experiences. It became increasingly clear that these women were contributing significant value to their organizations, families and careers. Their contributions were either being taken for granted or overlooked, sometimes even by themselves. Audra aspired to change that; from that, Women in the Arena was created. It’s a platform unlike any other- it’s a celebration. The motto is to celebrate women doing extraordinary things in plain sight. Audra believes that if we start to recognize the value within ourselves, then we can start to acknowledge the value within each other. We start to see that we have more similarities than what appears on the surface. It is that knowledge that begins to change the narrative from “you are my competition” to “you are my best asset. This is life changing and as a result, world changing. This is Audra’s goal, to change the world one interview at a time through her podcast Women in the Arena #ChoosetoChallenge #YourVoiceMatters #WomenintheArena #AudraAgen #LaWannaBradford #TheBradfordGroup #Independence #Freedom
