TeamWomen

We Inspire Women To Rise Together! Co-founded by Pam Borton and Linda Hopkins, the genesis of TeamWomenMN started in the spring of 2011.

Pam Borton, a seasoned and successful head women’s basketball coach at the University of Minnesota, was invited to be the keynote speaker for the Women in Business Awards Luncheon sponsored by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal honoring 50 top women executives. As Borton delivered her inspiring and emotional speech on the life lessons her student-athletes learned daily, her message resonated loud and clear – women need to support women. In her impassioned presentation to encourage and support women in reaching their full potential, she emphasized that we need more women in leadership! And women need to help other women become successful. On the heels of delivering this moving and motivational message – and with the support of many of the women who received awards that day – believers came together and launched TeamWomenMN.

We're proud sponsors of Business Leaders Breakfast Forum! This month's event is so needed and we hope to see you there.

Leaders are dealing with a lot right now: economic pressure, AI, labor challenges, and change that never seems to let up. Meanwhile, people are expected to keep adapting and performing while they're tired, distracted, and overwhelmed.

Jill Schulman will share the science of bravery, drawing on her time as a U.S. Marine, her work in applied positive psychology, and 25+ years in leadership. You'll leave with practical tools to help your people keep moving forward without burning out. https://breakfastleaders.regfox.com/the-bravery-effect-how-brave-leaders-create-energy-focus-and-action-through-constant-change

We need 15 more mentors for the fall cohort of our Mentor Program!

Being a mentor is a TeamWomen member benefit (arguably the best reason to join if you're not a member yet), and most mentors tell us they get just as much out of the relationship as their mentee does.

Our program is mentee-driven and multi-generational: everyone has something to offer, no matter your title or age.

Will you join us? https://teamwomenmn.org/mentoring/

💪 Confidence: Discover your inner rockstar!
⭐️ Leadership: Learn how to take the lead like a pro.
💖 Resilience: Bounce back stronger from challenges.
