Interview with Eleanor Beaton. Vision, ambition and a new business model for growth. Your vision is revealed to you, step by step, insight by insight and thread by thread. Eleanor Beaton shares her magnetic and clear vision for advancing gender equity by helping women entrepreneurs grow thriving businesses. Her vision guides everything she and her team at Safi Media do. She believes women entrepreneurs are the key to advancing global gender equity and a sustainable, healthy planet. As a woman founder and leader, learning to believe in yourself and your envisioned future is an evolving process. Aligning your ambition with commitment, actions and practice, your vision is revealed to you, step by step, insight by insight and thread by thread. Eleanor believes that creating, nurturing, growing and evolving your business is the epitome of the feminine in action. "Ambition is the tug of my soul inviting me to pursue something so that it can manifest more of who it is." Team Safi's mission to double the number of women entrepreneurs who scale past $1M in revenue by 2030 is palpable. So why a million in revenue? Eleanor explains that less than 2% of women-owned businesses cross the million-dollar mark. When a woman's business reaches this revenue milestone, she can build a team, provide employment for others, leverage her impact and build a legacy. At the heart of Eleanor's commitment to advance women entrepreneurs to scale past a million in revenue is the necessary shift in how we think about think business growth. Growth and generating wealth through sustainability rather than through depletion allow us to have vitality and sustainability without depleting critical resources. Safi Media helps women scale their businesses by creating a JEWEL business, women growing through assets versus hustle. The JEWEL business model offers us more time to consider, be intentional, and have time for deep thinking and discernment.

The Power of Effective Delegation If you’re anything like me, I imagine you’ve got a lot going on. Projects, hiring team members, putting out fires, keeping the day-to-day on track, and trying to lift your head and keep your team and initiatives on track. You’re longing to have more space and energy for yourself and the things that matter. And to do this, you know you need to hand off responsitibity to others on your team. But delegating isn’t like handing the baton in the relay. People and projects are complex, and to delegate well, we need to hone some new skills. Learning the skill of effective delegation takes some upfront investment from you. And it’s an investment that will pay off exponentially, allowing you to focus on thinking strategically, using your strengths and developing your team's strengths.

Learning delegate effectively, you’ll want to focus on these Outcome Clarity- essential to know what you want the outcome is of the project or task you’re delegating to be.

Determine the Decision: Decide the authority the person you delegate to will need. Set up the Conversation with the person you’ve identified as the best person to delegate to and ensure you have uninterrupted time to talk it through. Check-in on Their Capacity: Ask them if they have the time, energy, and bandwidth to meet your quality expectations and timeframe. STAY INVESTED in the person’s success to deliver a great outcome Follow up Afterwards- have a conversation, see how it went for the person you delegated to, and provide feedback from your perspective.
