35. Smashing Rural Stereotypes with Chéla Breckon


Listen Later

In this episode I interview Chéla Breckon and we get down and dirty talking about her rebellious path to success, and her efforts to disrupt the stereotypes and strategies of rural communities. We talk about her research in the economic development of women and how that's shaped her current business strategy, and why building feminism into the core of her business was non-negotiable for her. She shares her number one practice that's brought her back from burnout, and how we can use our privilege to lift up women and communities.


ABOUT CHÉLA:

Chéla Breckon is a Disruptive Leadership Strategist and Founder of With Chéla Inc, a Strategy Firm devoted to teaching small town women and rural communities how to think strategically to achieve meaningful change. With Chéla Inc. develops and leads the best practices in small town strategic development for change-making initiatives. We contribute to disrupting the rural stereotype so that more women and girls living in smaller communities can see their value and opportunities no matter where they choose to live.

Chéla believes in a changemaking ecosystem. She knows that when women rise, communities rise, and when communities rise, women rise. Changemaking women are integral to the changemaking potential of a community. A community’s ability to create an environment for women to thrive becomes essential to women’s capacity to be changemakers.  Because of this belief, Chéla, supported by Team Radiance, (her kick-ass team of six amazing women) has built programs, training, and strategy development that serves both the community and organizational side of that ecosystem, and the individual women who will undoubtedly rise, disrupt, and lead.

All of the offerings follow the With Chéla Inc. signature, changemaker’s formula. They believe that informed intention and strategic thinking elevate leadership. They use the formula in their education and development products, offered in two distinct segments: 1.) private and public programs for women and 2.) community organization strategies and training for change.

Chéla is on a mission to expose and optimize the greatness of rural women so that more women and girls can see it to believe it’s possible no matter where they live.
