Living Your Abundant Life with Elle Ballard

Motivated by a desire to see more women live their dream lives, their “abundant” lives, Elle founded Women of the World Network. She hoped that she would provide more opportunities for women to create that abundance for themselves. Women often busy themselves with their families and put their dreams on the back burner. Elle wanted to make a platform where they would be able to pursue both if they so wished.

He is a Certified Speaking Professional and ranked number six on the Top 30 list of motivational speakers by Global Gurus.

In this episode, Eddie and Mary Ann discuss the current demand for strong leadership in organizations and how it has increased over the years. Employees stay or leave based on the type of leader they work for, so effective leadership is necessary for retaining talented employees. Eddie helps organizations develop purposeful leadership by working with senior leaders in the C-suite and emerging leaders. He also identifies clear metrics for how leaders can engage and hold employees accountable.
Leaders need to adapt to a post-pandemic world that demands effective leadership for both in-office and remote employees. Eddie highlights the importance of inclusivity and how more inclusive organizations statistically outperform less inclusive ones. He notes that it is important to create a vision that can rally people across five generations and that each generation has something that is inherently valuable to them. Data and research is crucial in convincing organizations to adopt inclusion as a profitable way of doing business.
Eddie’s book, 140 Simple Messages to Guide Emerging Leaders, emphasizes that everyone should be emerging as a leader, even those in top positions. He stresses the importance of continuously working to improve your leadership skills.
