POWERHOUSE GLOBAL MAGAZINE (PGMAG) INTERVIEW WITH:

RAGNE SINIKAS (RS)

PGMAG: Ragne, welcome to today’s interview.

RS: Honored and blessed to be here. Thank you for this opportunity to be of service and hopefully I will add value to your audience.

PGMAG: Please introduce yourself to our readers.

RS: My name is Ragne Sinikas, I live with purpose, I love what I do and I am relentlessly focused on personal growth in order to leave a legacy that is to serve others and leave everything that I touch better than it was before. I am international speaker, author and coach of the change makers. My mission is to empower through education and that is the main reason why I founded the World Women Conference and Awards and Untold Story Foundation. I am driven by social impact and every project I am involved has the touch to it. I believe that pursuing your dreams with a powerful intention and sense of purpose, requires a call from within yourself to activate that desire. The power of presence ignites your capacity to create a remarkable future by transforming that intention into future action.

PGMAG: Congratulations on all your achievements. As an advocate for women empowerment, what are some of the measures needed to put in place in order to encourage more women to take up leadership roles?

RS: It all starts within. You and me. Having the courage to step into our power and taking the responsibility for our voice and choice. To be empowered is to authentically step into who we are as women, to embrace the feminine and question the very masculine world that we have helped to create. We need to take 100% responsibility for what is happening in our society instead of waiting for someone else to fix it and commit to educating and inspiring future generations in a different way. To do that we must first look at ourselves and understand what it means to be authentic. Who are we really underneath all of the doubts, fears and insecurities? Who do we want to be and what energy do we want to take out into the world? It is this truth that will impact and change our eco-systems because having the courage to bring our whole selves into our leadership has the power the change the world.The Problem is Power, The Solution is Empower “Violence against women will only end when gender equality and the full empowerment of women will be a reality.” So how can we truly empower women? Empowerment is the “can do” factor. It is going from “I cannot” to “I can.” That means creating the network of mentors and supporters that provide the knowledge of HOW someones life can be changed. Whether in poor or rich countries millennial women are empowered through three main practices:

To be empowered is to authentically step into who we are as women, to embrace the feminine and question the very masculine world that we have helped to create.

Self-awareness or awakening, Experience, and Education. And I want to emphasize that you are not defined by any circumstances neither by your past or present. You need to believe in yourself and have the courage to break out of the life that is not what you want for yourself. Millennial women are building their “empowerment muscles” using two core tools: Voice and Choice. They are using their voices to speak up for themselves, and more importantly, for others who cannot. They also, consciously and intentionally, make different choices to make changes in their lives.

PGMAG: As a woman who runs several businesses, what are the three important keys to leading a successful team?’

RS: #1. The non-negotiable MUST's:

Team must have its own mind and be focused on same outcome / goal Team must believe in each other, the teams goals / products / services Must give each other support especially in the most challenging times Each Individual without finger pointing must have clarity about his or her roles and responsibilities to pull his or her own weight while supporting teammates.

The team must establish a method of communication and a decision - making process. Individual coaching / modelling MUST occur on a regular basis Acknowledge individual and team accomplishments

#2. The secret to success is to stay in love. Stay in love gives you the fire to ignite other people, to see inside other people, to have a greater desire to get things done than other people. A person who is not in love doesn’t really feel that kind of excitement that helps them to get a head and to lead others to achieve. I don’t know any other fire any other thing in life that is more accelerating and there’s more positive feeling than love is. I would use the words of Mother Theresa: “ I cannot do what you can. You cannot do what I can do. Together we can do great things”. To lead is to serve. People need to have found themselves, achieved something, and made themselves valuable before they have something to give others. I surround myself with people that fuel my joy and passion.

#3. You need to have authentic values and you need to be able to communicate them. Most important values for me are trust, respect, commitment, loyalty, attitude. When people feel alined they will walk with you through fire.

My legacy to this world is UNTOLD STORY Foundation (USF). It is a global family of women in Action for A BETTER SOCIETY! We are a social service oriented organization whose mission is to bring together women leaders in order to provide humanitarian service and to advance goodwill and peace around the world.

PGMAG: Please tell us a little bit about some of your initiatives.

RS: World Women Conference & Awards (WWCA) is the foremost international gathering of women leaders designed to discuss and share experiences, strategies and opportunities with and for women in areas of health, leadership, finance and personal development. This will be the first summit of its kind anywhere in the world, led by power women around the world, for all women across the 7 continents of the world. The aim is to bring together women service providers, professionals, NGOs, educators, business leaders, entrepreneurs across the 7 continents of the world. Internationally renowned speakers, academicians, researchers, women activists, policymakers and delegates from worldwide will participate in the conference to discuss women and girl child issues and empower women in a global context by offering inspiration, motivation and networking opportunities.

WWCA Vision: To celebrate innovative & extraordinary women and raise a global women community that is an active force in social, economic and cultural development of nations.

WWCA Mission: To reposition women for high performance, improved leadership and strong participation for economic and social development of the society.

The conference will create debates and stimulate thinking around: How can women all over the world come together and play a role in building and empowering their communities? How can men help in building a new paradigm for women as an equal and complementary force in building the society? How can we bring together global leaders to redefine the role of women — in nation building across all sectors of the society? How can we create a sustainable support system that helps women around the world better identify and scale opportunities to ignite and engender lasting change in their communities?

The World Women Awards, presented by World Women Conference, recognizes outstanding contributions and achievements of women around the world. The World Women Awards recognize the many women and young women who are leading the way in their chosen fields, and making outstanding contributions to sustainable development in their countries, continents and the world at large. The World Women AWARDS also reward individuals, Government Agencies, companies, investors and development partners whose strategies are proof of their absolute resolve to play a part in the development of women around the world.

That’s the society's heart cry, that women will arise and take up their roles as Incubators of Life and release life into the world.

PGMAG: What is your message for women who are struggling with low selfesteem?

RS: Honor yourself first. The first step towards change is awareness. The second step is acceptance. Self- esteem is the single most significant key to a person’s behaviour. You must understand that no factor is more important in people’s psychological development and motivation than the value judgement they make about themselves. Your story becomes self fulfilling prophesy. Your daily behaviour is reflecting your deepest beliefs. Your daily beliefs affect your deepest behaviour. Your expectations create your reality. It is incredible important to set the right intentions. Your genetic code is not your destiny. Your daily thinking, emotions, your words, your influences and your performances, in other words your behaviour actually regulate the expression of your genetic code. Low selfesteem puts a ceiling on your potential. People are never able to outperform their self-image. So keep in mind that the value you're placing on yourself is usually the value others are placing on you.

4 recommendations to build your self-image:

1. Guard Your Self-Talk

2. Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

3. Move Beyond Your Limiting Beliefs

4. Add Value to Others. It is hard to feel bad about yourself when you’re doing something good for someone else.

Small insignificant changes when done daily will result stunning results. Who must you become to have the life that you want?

PGMAG: If you knew what you know now, what would you do differently?

RS: I am so happy to share with you the 5 greatest recommendations I learned from my mentor. In the spirit of helping you scale your fortune, construct a beautiful lifestyle for you and your loved ones and leverage your life in service of many, those are the 5 Specific Tactics that I wish I had learnt from my parents.

1. PERSEVERANCE It is not the most intelligent who wins. It’s the most persistent. Few things can stop a human being obsessed with their vision, devoted to their mission and dedicated to making their vision a reality.

2. OPTIMIZATION The majority of people accept average results. Worldclass leaders are focused on leaving everything they touch finer than they find it. And that’s what makes them great.

3. Morning Self-Mastery. The leaders of business fully understand that the way you begin your day sets up the caliber of your focus and the quality of your performance. To dominate you absolutely need to learn the daily rituals of a superstar. Once you do, nothing will ever be the same for you.

4. IGNORING CRITICS The stone-throwing of the critics and cynics can take you down. The reality is that the very nature of being a visionary and world-changer means you’ll attract ridicule, jealousy and condemnation. You must continue. At all costs. For the world needs your magic. And all heroes turned their setbacks into stepping stones.

5. DIFFERENTIATION Be original and authentic. To lead your field you absolutely must learn and then master the mechanics of first-class creativity. Fame, fortune and applausecome to those who contribute fresh value to the marketplace. And so I suggest that you disrupt. Or face disruption.

Leadership is shifting today where we are witnessing such an opportunity for heroism, leadership, exceptional public service. These truly are the worst of times and the best of times. And if you allow it, this will be your season to shine.

PGMAG: Who would be your ideal lunch date, and what would be the topic of discussion?

RS: Robin Sharma. How to live long enough to live forever.

PGMAG: How do you create balance amidst your busy schedules?

RS: I Honor myself first. I Take time to reflect. I Have daily routines like waking up at 5am and rituals that are nonnegotiable. All above goes to my calendar first and all the rest follows. I ask myself before scheduling something: “How can I add value and what will I learn from this call, meeting etc?” If I can not add value I do not accept the request. The day I stated to manage my focus instead my time, my life changed.

PGMAG: What would you say to your younger self? Morning Self-Mastery. The leaders of business fully understand that the way you begin your day sets up the caliber of your focus and the quality of your performance. To dominate you absolutely need to learn the daily rituals of a superstar. Once you do, nothing will ever be the same for you.

RS: It is a senseless waste of a life to carve the remarkable marvel of what it is to be alive down to bad habits and complaints. It would be a shame to realize the number of mediocre years, weeks, and days wasted focused on the wrong thing when these could have been purposeful and full of inspiration. You are a sphere for life to happen, a fierce and astonishing environment for wonder and adversity and everything in between. You are a rare moment, a unique blast in a burst of time that echoes and then disappears into the chasm. You are a marvel of being and it’s time for you to start acting like one.

PGMAG: Thank you for your time.

RS: It is an incredible life, make it count! Be creative, do the work and be true to yourself. Life is about who will you become and how many you help. I Want You To Believe In Your Ability To Create The Life and business You Always Wanted! I hope you enjoyed our time spent together. I appreciate your attention and I hope I was valuable for you. Don’t Do Your Best, Do Whatever It Takes. Embrace This World of Uncertainty, Fight For The Life You Want. GET TO WORK! GET IT DONE!
