Women in Leadership: Lessons in Strength, Growth, and Resilience

By: Anita Starks, Get2ten Wellness

March is a time to recognize the impact and influence of women who lead with strength, purpose, and resilience. Throughout my professional journey, I have been truly blessed to be surrounded by remarkable women who poured into my life both personally and professionally. Many served as mentors in business and in faith, teaching me how to navigate both success and failure with grace, confidence, and integrity. No matter the circumstance, they always encouraged me to stand tall and keep moving forward. In honor of Women's History Month, I want to offer a heartfelt thank you to those women whose guidance, wisdom, and encouragement helped shape the leader I am today.

Women's History Month gives us a meaningful opportunity to reflect on the leadership lessons that continue to shape communities, organizations, and future generations. Leadership is about growth, service, and helping others reach their highest potential. Women across industries consistently demonstrate that effective leadership is built on courage, compassion, and the willingness to rise above challenges. Their leadership not only transforms workplaces but also strengthens families, communities, and the next generation of leaders.

One of the most powerful lessons women leaders teach us is resilience. Leadership is rarely a straight path. It often requires navigating uncertainty, overcoming obstacles, and remaining focused on purpose even during difficult moments. Women leaders continue to show that perseverance and faith can transform challenges into opportunities for growth.

Equally important is compassion. Strong leaders understand that success is not defined only by achievements, but by the positive impact they have on others. Many women leaders create environments where people feel valued, supported, and inspired to perform at their best.

At Get2ten Consulting, we believe leadership is about helping individuals and organizations move closer to their “10”—their highest level of performance, purpose, and personal fulfillment. As we celebrate Women’s History Month, it is also a time to recognize the importance of mentorship, empowerment, and lifting others along the way.

Question for reflection:
How can each of us use our voice, talents, and leadership to help others move closer to their own “10”?

How to Build a Loyal Workforce by Anita Starks

Employee loyalty should be at the top of the list for every employer, and be integrated into your business strategy. It’s that important! Simplify – Those leaders who gain loyalty do it by removing barriers for everyone else. Their primary job is to continuously make everyone else’s job easier. If your employee sees you trying to help make their job easier, they will be much more loyal. Lines of Communication – Often, as business leaders, we tend to focus all our attention on the consumers and our bottom line. But what we must realize is that when we turn some of that attention and focus to our employee’s loyalty, it will automatically help us reach those other goals. Employees who are loyal will provide better customer service and will be more apt to helping your business grow. Evaluate – The first thing you need to do is recognize that some people are naturally loyal, while others are not. You may need to replace those people who are not loyal and Re-place th...

How to Build a Loyal Workforce by Anita Starks Part 2

Continuing this months topic of how to build a loyal workforce, I want to talk about initiating loyalty first to employees and producing action from your plans. Reciprocate – The biggest secret is to give loyalty first. If you want employees to go above and beyond for you, you must go above and beyond for them. The best leaders get this. They fight for the team, and in return, the team fights for them. This doesn’t mean that you must give them more financially. There are many non-financial rewards you can give that will help build loyalty, such as giving respect and praise, having an employee of the month being flexible when they need time off, and listening to their suggestions and feedback .   Putting Your Plan into Action – To put this plan into action, take some time to focus on your employee loyalty. Work at building a loyal team and doing what it takes to make that happen. It may take you coming to terms with the fact that you need to replace a few pe...
