The inspiration and camaraderie at today’s Annual Women’s Leadership Conference at the National Grove of Anaheim were amazing. “This 10th anniversary event reflects on the remarkable progress the homebuilding industry has made in promoting women and fostering their rise into leadership roles. This event is more than a celebration, but a call to action. To continue the vital conversation — together, men and women — to support women confidently, in their pursuit of knowledge, and every facet of this important movement. Let's "Go All In" and build an even stronger, more equitable future for the home building industry.”—Ali Wolf, Chairperson (Chief Economist, Zonda Economics)

Here are the top takeaways from the keynote speaker, Molly Bloom, entrepreneur, best-selling author, former member of the US Ski team, and host of the two-time Gold Signal Award-winning podcast Torched.

1) Stop listening to the voices inside your head that say we can't. Go within and manage your mind. Try meditation and take control of your focus. Tune out the noise and tap into your power.

2) Stop asking the world to cosign your dreams.

3) Learn how to make people feel seen and heard with hard empathy. It's not where you are today...it's where you are willing to go. As Maya Angelou famously stated, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

4) Integrity should be your north star.

5) Develop a tolerance for risk. Go in with an open heart and open mind.

6) You are resilient — pick yourself up when you fail. You can overcome anything.
