This Woman Can

Marketing Guru, Magazine Publisher, Event Producer, she is a Bold Entrepreneur that some might even call a Fashionista, but Virgin Island native - Janette N. Brin, describes herself as a POSHgirl - a driven career woman with a fun, stylish, creative spirit.

As the Founder and Owner of Caribbean POSH, Janette has managed to weave a distinct and inspiring path in the world of entrepreneurship. Her quest began in 2005 when she first launched Caribbean POSH Magazine. With nothing more than a passion for creative work, her culture, and of course fashion. She was a single mom just determined to build a different kind of future for her and her son. Determined to be a positive role model for him while also inspiring other women like herself.

Since then has developed the magazine into a lifestyle brand aimed at empowering Caribbean Women otherwise referred to as the POSHgirl Movement. The movement is inclusive of the annual POSHgirl POWER Brunch, the POSHgirl fragrance, and the POSHgirl TALK television series on the Caribbean POSH YouTube Channel.

The magazine has featured well-known names such as Shaggy, Wyclef Jean, Lady Saw, and Fay Ann Lyons.

Gaining some accolades along the way with both the Association of Black Media Workers and the Caribbean Fashion Awards. The annual POSHgirl POWER Brunch has featured some of the most influential Caribbean Women in the world such as Yvette Noel-Schure of Schure Media Group [Beyoncé’s Publicist], Recording Artist - Alison Hinds, and Plus Size Supermodel - Trisha Campbell. The leading empowerment event for Caribbean women is also well known for providing opportunity for local and regional models and fashion designers.

Janette’s goal is simple -- to continue to empower Caribbean women and influence a new generation of women entrepreneurs through the POSHgirl Movement.

Sometimes when we set goals, they don’t always turn out the way we’d hoped and planned for. When that happens it's easy to blame outside factors and say the Universe just didn’t cooperate to bring us what we’ve asked for. What is often the case, though, is we were not clear enough in asking for what we wanted. So how clear are you on your end game?

My guest this week is Maxine Attong a woman of many talents - OD Consultant, Coach, Speaker and Author. She works with leaders who long to be less operational amd more strategic so they can execute their vision.

She is the author of two business books - Change or Die - The Business Process Improvement and Lead Your Team to Win. Both document her experiences and theories on leadership commitment and employee engagement.

She designs and facilitates the Enhance U Program which transfers life skills to teenagers. Her Call to Creativity Program which empowers and supports professional women on their career paths is now in its 5th year. She currently serves as the President of the Human Resources Management Associations of Trinidad and Tobago.

We talk about her journey to discover a career "that would make her heart sing" including the impact of fighting the fear to make the change and the opinions of those close to her who could understand her drive to walk away from a "good job" to an undefined career path. How she had to unlearn certain things to help shape her decisions.

A constant refrain I hear in my coaching practice is "I think I've outgrown my current job, it doesn't challenge me or interest me anymore, but I don't know how to I change careers" So this week I'm offering my insight in what to do when if you find yourself in a similar position.

Invariably however, it can often be more than just your job and you may feel at point in life where you're stuck,!  you find yourself unsure or even detached from the passion and purpose that you once felt. It can happen all of a sudden or chip away, bit by bit, so slowly over time that we don’t even notice it. But we wake up one day, finding ourselves just floating through life...going through the motions but CRAVING SOMETHING MORE. I recently launched the This Woman Can Mindset Reset 30 Day Challenge  to help with all this and much, much more. 

Now you have the opportunity to participate in the program for FREE! All you have to do is record a 2 minute video and send to [email protected] answering the following questions;

• Who are you?
