“It stopped being a career… and it started being a calling.” That’s how 👓MyEyeDr. Co-Founder & CEO Sue Downes described her 24-year journey during Newsweek’s 2025 Women’s Global Impact Forum in New York City this week. Sue’s fireside chat, The Power of Perspective: Leading with Purpose at MyEyeDr., pulled back the curtain on her 24-year journey building 900+ offices across 30 states. Her message? Leadership isn’t about leaving your identity at the door. It’s about bringing all of who you are — mom, mentor, innovator, advocate — to the table. As a founding sponsor of this year’s Forum, we’re proud to help amplify conversations that shape the future of work for women everywhere. 📖 Read the Newsweek recap → https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.pbit.ly/3Hq3H0z 📝 See Sue’s reflections → https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.pbit.ly/4mjbQmE #WomensGlobalImpactForum #WomenInLeadership #Leadership #LifeAtMyEyeDr #Inclusion

SoulCycle Inc. CEO Evelyn Webster shares why she no longer apologizes for being assertive. "You always have to be true to who you are," Webster told Newsweek. " I am very direct and quite forthright. I make no apology for it." Webster also gives advice on overcoming imposter syndrome: "Find those people who are going to help support you." Webster was a panelist at Newsweek's Women's Global Impact event.

In a fireside chat with Newsweek's Kylie McCoy Viscomi, Hers (hims & hers) Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jessica Shepherd, MD, MBA, FACOG shares how a personal experience opened her eyes to the silence and shame surrounding menopause.

So inspired by all the incredible women at Newsweek's Women's Global Impact Forum held at their headquarters in New York City yesterday. Westwin Elements' founder & CEO, KaLeigh Long spoke to her unique experiences as a woman in a historically male dominated industry, urging her fellow female aspiring business leaders to focus on "doing something, not being someone." Fantastic event, with a great view, and the best snacks (also, very grateful for my long overdue, new headshot). Thank you for having us Megan Knapp!

Thank you Newsweek for hosting yesterday's Global Women's Impact Summit. Such a great conversation with visionary leaders like Kristie D'Ambrosio-Correll of Dacora Motors and Katie Sturino of Megababe - women who are not just building companies, but creating entirely new categories. Their insights into the challenges and opportunities of category creation were a masterclass in resilience, strategy, and impact.

It was an honor to speak at Newsweek’s Women’s Global Impact Forum this week!    At Nissan Motor Corporation we believe that driving change starts with listening, learning and leading with transparency. Being in a room full of trailblazing women from across different industries reminded me just how inspiring and powerful our voice can be.    Thank you to Newsweek for creating a platform that celebrates impact and progress—and to Eileen Falkenberg-Hull and my fellow panelists Melody Lee and Kelly Fanning for the thoughtful dialogue and shared commitment.    Let’s keep the momentum going! 

What happens when you gather women leading in healthcare, biotech, policy, and #wellbeing—on one stage, for one conversation? You name the hard truths. And you imagine what’s possible. ✨ I was honored to join Newsweek’s Women’s Global Impact Forum, held in NYC's World Trade Center, for a powerful panel discussion on the future of healthcare—and the people holding it together. We spoke candidly about the state of healthcare today: 🚨 #Burnout and #MoralDistress are not the exception- they are the norm 🚪 Clinicians are leaving—not because they don’t care, but because the system makes it so challenging to do the work they were called to do 🛠 What we need isn’t another webinar on grit—we need strategic, system-level investments that address the core imbalance between job demands and job resources in healthcare. One example? #GROSS (“Getting Rid of Stupid Stuff”)—a frontline-led initiative to eliminate unnecessary burdens so care teams can focus on what really matters. My fellow panelists brought powerful perspectives: 💬 Stacey E. Rosen, MD, FAHA emphasized the need for inclusive women’s health—beyond the bikini 💼 Rhonda Jordan shared how intentional leadership diversity is transforming culture 🧠 Jannine Versi spotlighted how Elektra Health is smashing taboo's in women's care 🤝 And we explored how #sponsorship— not just mentorship—is a career gamechanger Grateful to Alexis Kayser for moderating with clarity and care—and to my fellow panelists for your brilliance and boldness. 📣 What’s one small change your team could make to restore the balance between job demands and job resources ?? #WomensGlobalImpact #WomenInLeadership #HealthcareLeadership #WellbeingAtWork #WorkforceWellbeing #NewsweekForum
