Season 6, Episode #225
Welcome to this special edition of Keepin’ It Real panel discussions featuring topics trending in business with small business owners who participate in our global community.
Our expert panel are all recent winners in the 2025 Global Women Changing The World Awards and Summit held in London England, trail blazers and change makers in their communities.
The summit was headed by Oprah Winfrey’s all-time favourite guest, Dr. Tererai Trent, who says, “These exceptional women are here to awaken hearts, give permission to recapture dreams, and inspire the women of the world to come together to forge a brighter path for all. The rising of women is the awakening of everybody.”
We discuss the topic of awards and recognition and the relevance for small business owners….
I’d like to introduce you to our panel:
Susan Crossman: Gold, Women in Literature Brenda Andress: Silver, Women In Sport Shelley Goldstein: Silver, Professional Services and Honourable Mention, Thought Leader Lynn McLaughlin: Silver, Women in Adult Eduction & Training Elaine Uskoski: Silver, Therapy & Counselling and myself Trish Tonaj Silver, Business of the Year
As the founder for shareyourstories.online: "We create opportunities for global business owners to be seen, heard, found and hired through three core pillars of visibility, collaboration and community. It was an honour to nominate and share the stage in recognition of these amazing women in business whose work positively contributes to their communities.”
Accepting support and recognition from others for a job well done is a great example of the humility and commitment we share as small business owners. Sharing our stories is how we support and learn from each other.
A few of the things we shared: 1) Accept the nomination! 2) Creating friendships beyond the screen 3) Be open to new possibilities
I’d like to thank our expert panel for sharing your stories and point of view. We appreciate your contributions as business owners and wish you continued success as you lead by example as both role models and mentors in our communities.
