Gabrielle Thomas: Using Your Voice and Platform to Impact Change

As a mother, an entrepreneur, a master business coach, a wellness consultant, and the founder of Less Caption More Action, today’s guest, Gabrielle, is especially well placed to talk about how we can all use our voices and our platforms, however large or small they may be, to impact change in the world. Gabrielle and I talk about her experiences as an entrepreneur and using her gifts and talents to help others, especially women of color, to grow their businesses, and what it means to bring your authentic, human, self to your work and platform. No matter where you are, who you are, or what your platform looks like, we can all make a difference and as you listen today, you, too, can bring positive change to the world. 

Key Takeaways:

• Too many people overcomplicate the entire process of building a lifestyle business, especially women. It can be easier and lighter. It can be simple. 
• You do not need to suffer to be successful. Lean into your strengths and enjoy what you do. 
• The cause has to be more important than the fear that you have of speaking out.
• We can all do something. We can take action within our own spheres. Our businesses are a tool to do that. 

"You don’t need to overthink it. Take imperfect action. However it is now, what is in your heart right now is good enough." —  Gabrielle Thomas
