This doesn’t happen often. In studio with my son. But when it’s about working on something big involving empowering women, even I get in the front of the camera.

Really proud of the cake babies I made today.

Tonight at the Epicenter Christmas party connecting with business leaders. Most importantly: together with my daughter Isabella and our chosen family member Lais.

About last night… we hosted a speaker Open Mic to let people pitch their ideas for next Crush event. This year we’ve helped 60 women to speak at different stages.
I’m really proud of the work we do to amplify voices.
Amplifying women’s voices is one of the most feminist actions you can take.

When you say you want to support families, you build support systems.

We have A LOT build in Finland. But our birth rates are still getting lower.

When you have sex education and allow low cost / almost free abortions, the number of unwanted babies is low.

I wrote the book Big Rich Money: How To Turn Your Business Intentions Into A Profitable Company together with Candice Brathwaite to share our best lessons from 15+ years of consulting.

We wanted to write a book & create an e-course how we’d help out a best friend.

More by Anna Kuusela.

What happens when we lack emotional mastery?

➡️ Can’t say no.
➡️ Dwelling on things.
➡️ Feeling misunderstood.
➡️ Emotional bursts.
➡️ Stressed.
➡️ Not getting angry and not doing anything about things we should.

Excellent speech at Women’s Entrepreneurship Day Organization’s event in Helsinki by Anna Kuusela.

Emotional mastery ➡️
Time mastery ➡️
Profit mastery

Why are we letting our emotions run us? We should be more in tuned with our emotions and have better emotional intelligence.

Today: I hosted a Speaker Coaching Webinar with Maija Ilmoniemi to support women to become more impactful public speakers.

In a recent survey, 60% of Finnish men believe gender equality has already been achieved.

50% think feminist movements like #metoo limit men’s rights.

We need more men to understand what equality means and do the gender equality work together with us.

Reminder: it’s OK to block intolerant idiots.

Every ten minutes a woman dies because of domestic violence.

I attended UN Women Finland’s event today to learn more about their efforts to end domestic violence.

Finland has a history of being ahead on women’s rights- but it’s the second most unsafe country for women in the EU. Mainly because of domestic violence.

I love celebrating women’s success. This is my best friend from high school, Pauliina, a successful fashion and home store chain owner. She opened two Xmas gift shops this week. #womensupportingwomen

But in the same study, 90% of all men agree violence against women is wrong. The alarming difference is to all men vs young men - suggesting we are seriously going backwards in fighting equal rights.

In a recent study, 25% of young men in Finland believe that women “deserve” violence and it’s sometimes justified.
Many believe this is a direct consequence of misogyny in social media, and the effect of influencers like Tate.

I’m from Finland and historically we are super ahead on equal rights. Women voted the first time in 1906, and we got first female president in 2000 etc.
But we lead the way in things like domestic violence in Europe 😢 #womensrights

I’m sharing ways how I’m actively helping more diverse voices to be heard.

We started organizing Open Mic events, where people can pitch their speech idea and why they think it should be addressed in our conference. Now we have other conference owners coming to our events to discover speakers 🫶

Our platform amplifies voices.
In our events we have a video studio for anyone to record a video.
We have an Open Mic town hall, where anyone can speak.
We prefer panel discussions to bring more people on the stage.
And every event we try to learn to do better.
November 15, 2024 at 11:16 AM
We work together with many other organizations to amplify women’s and nonbinary people’s (and allies) voices.
In 2024 we’ve given over 60 an opportunity to speak in events.
November 15, 2024 at 11:02 AM
We are still small. But would like to grow. Women in Finland are fierce, and don’t always even realize how much ahead in feminism they are. At the same time, we need to be more connected to the rest of the world. Want to become friends?

Finnish Stock Exchange Building was built in 1912. Ever since, it has been an exclusive location for business, hosted historic figures and the home of Bourse Club.

They didn’t allow women in until in 2019.

It was a great location for feminist business event. We doubled in size.
November 15, 2024 at 10:58 AM
Our first conference was in 2023 and 100 joined us. Many immigrant women found us, and many felt they were finally incorporated into business event in Finland. We tackled topics like violence against women, modern leadership, why feminism is needed, future building, founder success stories.
November 15, 2024 at 10:53 AM
First we did a talk show in 2022. Only a few episodes, to show what kind of topics our event could do and what we want to pay attention to.

I met Anna Koskinen, the founder of Female Founders Finland when I was writing Big Rich Money with Candice Brathwaite. Big Rich Money: How To Turn Your Business Intentions Into A Profitable Company was written for female entrepreneurs and we share consulting secrets from 15+ years.
