Parental Influence on Becoming an Empowered Woman with Lyn Hawkins

Description

“Without a doubt, I was influenced by both my mother's business and my father actually embodying to me that I could be and do whatever a boy does. You know, I think that is very fortunate that I was brought up with that kind of family.” Lyn Hawkins stated.

Parents are the most important role models for their children. Every statement, gesture, and behavior has an impact. As a child, having a reliable adult to turn to gives access to genuine guidance that leads to a better life. A child's value and confidence are heavily influenced by the adults they associate with. Therefore, parents play a crucial role in empowering a child that would later affect their adulthood.

In today’s episode of Louise M Empowerment Series, we are joined by another uplifting and empowered woman, Lyn Hawkins. Lyn is the National Director of Business Women Australia. She is also the Director of Hawkin’s Marketing and Strategy in Business Development Consultancy, a National and management consultant with a focus on business growth, marketing, and transformation. She has held senior roles with KPMG, HHG Legal Group, HLB Mann Judd, and Telstra, in addition to General Management roles with technology-based businesses.

Lyn advocates that today’s fast-paced marketplace requires mutually beneficial partnerships to leverage creativity, experience, and resources.
