2023 Modern Gen X Woman of the Year: Eleanor Beaton

Carving a niche and constructing a world around it, surrounding yourself with supportive women, demanding your value, and recognizing that investing in yourself is not selfish. These tenets serve as guiding lights for women striving to excel in their personal and professional lives. It's no surprise that Eleanor Beaton, a standout figure embodying these ideals, that’s why we’re delighted to have Eleanor as the 4th annual Modern Gen X Woman of the Year.

Eleanor Beaton is a global authority on women's entrepreneurship, contributing her expertise as an advisor on women's leadership at the Yale School of Management. Established in 2015 by Eleanor Beaton, Safi Media functions as an educational and business coaching entity dedicated to supporting courageous women leaders driving gender equity through entrepreneurship. The ambitious mission they've set is to double the number of women-founded companies achieving sustainable scaling beyond $1 million in annual revenue by 2030, accomplished through business coaching, entrepreneurship education, and storytelling with a gender lens.

In this episode, we’re talking about these TRUTH BOMBS: 

• Gen X women have always been very countercultural and very much a generation that has been all about being independent, finding our own way, and bucking norms 
  
  
• The strength and energy it takes to dam up your vision are much harder and more exhausting than the experience of setting a powerful focusing goal and really going for it.  

• The genius Jewel Business model and how it creates infrastructure to support women and make them feel safe so they can focus on the big vision. 

• Coaching female entrepreneurs is in and of itself a discipline because of the gender nuance and how gender influences and shapes our experience. 

• How to own your swagger and the three essential elements to help you embrace and embody that self-assured presence.

• How women are raised to put other people's needs before their own and what can happen is that a woman can forget the purpose of her business is to generate cash flow, net profit, to grow, net profits, cash flow, and a return on investment consistently quarter over quarter.  

“I have really challenged myself to master the art of showing up with Swagger. The ability to show up and really own who I am and what I have.”
