4. People of all genders face different opportunities and challenges when it
comes to entrepreneurship. Women are expected by society to take care of
children and elderly parents in families. Being an entrepreneur is challenging,
but it has been made much simpler by having a solid support system.
Many business owners launch their ventures in an attempt to address a
personal issue. Though they make up half of the population, very few women
are business owners. This implies that women have a great chance to identify
issues that are unique to their gender and that call for major innovation or
solving. We must urge women to consider the pain spots they encounter in
their day-to-day lives by looking around them.
It is natural that the knowledge and perspectives of men and women will differ,
influencing how they approach business. Men compete with each other, while
women work together. Women cherish their relationships. Better leaders and
more cooperative counterparts result from conducting business with a greater
awareness of the people we engage with. Women are more adept at nurturing
the staff members who work for them, which can only improve the state and
prosperity of the firm by energizing and encouraging employees.
Fortunes Time's latest edition “The 10 Most Successful Women Entrepreneurs
to Follow in 2024”, has featured a variety of successful female entrepreneurs
to get their views on what it takes to succeed in business. From building
supportive networks to navigating systemic barriers, these entrepreneurs share
their insights and experiences to help others overcome obstacles and seize
opportunities in the world of business. The cover has Danielle Sabrina, the
brain behind Society22 PR, where she works as the Founder and CEO.
However, Danielle's path to success didn't start with her revolutionary PR firm.
At 19, she began her career in Wall Street, quickly becoming one of the
youngest traders in the industry. This investment management experience
influenced her vision for Society22. Danielle intended to start up a company
that would go beyond conventional PR, but lead clients from the fledgling
stages up until significant corporate milestones such as IPOs. Her early leap
into finance set the stage for an extraordinary career full of unmatched
accomplishments.

10. Danielle Sabrina is the brain behind
Society22 PR, where she wo rks as the
Founder and CEO. However,
Danielle's path to success didn't start
with her revolutionary PR firm. At 19,
she began her career in Wall Street,
quickly becoming one of the youngest
traders in the industry. This investment
management experience influenced her
vision for Society22. Danielle intended
to start up a company that would go
beyond conventional PR, but lead
clients from the fledgling stages up
until significant corporate milestones
such as IPOs. Her early leap into
finance set the stage for an
extraordinary career full of unmatched
accomplishments.
The role of Society22 is to provide
clients with insights on making
strategic decisions about their brand
and grow their businesses effectively
using her expertise. Danielle is highly
skilled in media and brand strategy and
has successfully built a reputation
based on results. She has become a
trusted strategic consultant to
numerous high-profile CEOs,
professional athletes, and celebrities
throughout her professional tenure.
Because of this, she has become one of
the most sought-after brand and media
strategists in business today. Accolades
such as Female Entrepreneur of the
Year and top entrepreneur by CIO have
come her way through which Danielle
has become consistent publisher for
leading journals like Forbes,
Entrepreneur, among others.
“At Society22, we're partners in our
client's success stories and woven into
their internal team. We guide our
clients through the complex landscape
of brand building and media relations
with a results-driven approach,” says
Danielle.
The Agency
Society22 PR is a creative firm that
focuses on innovation while fostering a
culture of goal-orientedness. The team
aims at asserting its clients as market
leaders with respect to integrity and
ethical standards; honesty and
transparency being some of the
cornerstones of all the firm's business
transactions. The organization
appreciates the virtues of leadership
that listens, cares for its employees and
associates, and makes daring choices
when required. Dynamic growth and
adaptability sum up Society22's
approach to business in these changing
times motivating them to take
proactive approaches towards such
development. With an overarching
commitment to results, PR Society22 is
defined by innovation, integrity,
empathy, and courage in a changing
world.
Prioritizing Clients
Society22 PR sets itself apart by
forming strategic partnerships with
publications and broadcast media
channels. Danielle is noted for her
team's ability to quickly produce and
publish a wide range of content, from
articles to appearing on national news
shows. The agency operates on the
basis of purposefulness, results and an
unwavering commitment to superior
quality which is driven by independent
thinkers and intuitive creatives.
The success metrics used in Society22
PR go beyond traditional measures like
story pitching or impressions from
press releases. Rather, the team
dissects thought leadership that has
brought companies to this level.
Several business, news, and
entertainment distribution platforms
offer significant value for audiences
who are thinking about the client's
knowledge-base, experience as well as
passion.
An Inspiring Journey
The journey of Danielle from being a
teenage mother and school dropout to a
successful entrepreneur has had a
profound impact on her leadership
philosophy, particularly with regard to
women in leadership. She points out
that lifelong learning is essential for
development. Her career as one of the
youngest traders on Wall Street who
helped clients make important brand
choices shows she never stopped
seeking knowledge and improving
herself. The experience highlights
resilience and adaptability that are
essential for leaders in today's rapidly
changing business world.
Danielle knows how important it is for
women leaders to build a strong
network of support since it is not easy
to be a leader and mentors and peers
can provide advice and assistance
when needed. In turn, she intends to do
the same for other people, having
enjoyed mentoring herself.

13. Danielle sees many of these challenges
among the emerging leaders of today
such as their overemphasis on
immediate results at the expense of
long-term vision. Thus, she firmly
believes that sustainable success must
strike a balance between short-term
accomplishments and long-term
planning. Also, she focuses on
authenticity, transparency, emotional
intelligence, and adaptability.
A Visionary Entrepreneur and A
Mother
Danielle has deep conviction that her
active involvement in Society22 PR's
business strategy is absolutely vital,
what she gets from a diverse path
which began with her being one of the
youngest traders on Wall Street and led
her to assisting high-profile clients
with their branding and media
strategies.
In this position, Danielle goes beyond
managing operations; instead, she
actively shapes the company's vision
and direction. This is extremely
important in the fast-paced
environment of public relations where
success hinges on staying ahead of
competitors through an understanding
of emerging market trends and
customer expectations. It is Danielle's
participation that ensures that these
strategies are consistent with long-term
objectives and represent the values for
which Society22 stands. The diversity
of her background brings wide-ranging
perspective necessary for making
strategic decisions. Danielle's exposure
helps understand such details as when
she provides guidance to a start-up
during its seed round or leads an
established brand through major
transition points that are critical to
client success.
Fortunestime.com | 13

14. Maintaining an active role in strategy reinforces trust and
confidence among clients who value having a seasoned
professional directly involved in crafting strategies shaping their
public image and brand narrative. Society22 is grounded on
innovation and adaptability, which symbolize Danielle's journey
from teenage motherhood and dropping out of school to
becoming an award-winning entrepreneur.
Woman Participation in Media Field
From Danielle's point of view, women's status in the industry,
especially in public relations and media, has been
progressing forward. Nevertheless, she admits that it is not
complete yet. Danielle urges ladies to speak out for
themselves confidently, emphasizing their chances to grow
into leaders. It is important for women to find mentors
and also become mentors for their personal growth.
To navigate the changes in PR and media today, people
should be aware of industry trends, assume leadership
positions and use unique qualities such as empathy,
intuition and resilience. Danielle shares that with
determination, passion and being a learner at any
time one can achieve their career goals no matter
where they come from.
View Towards the Future
Danielle envisions the future of Society22 as an
innovative, inclusive, and international organization.
She expects PR company to develop into one of
global leaders in public relations and brand strategies,
which would be known for its state-of-the-art
approach and success rate.
This vision is based on the commitment to stay on top
of emerging trends. Danielle stresses on being
ready for change, advocating investment into
latest technologies that are in line with
digital shift and continuously sharpening
approaches to offer effective choices for
clients.
As the company seeks to expand globally,
inclusivity and diversity are at its core. Diversity is seen as
necessary not just from a moral point of view but also from a
business standpoint as it enhances creativity and innovation.

18. Balanced Approach to Leadership
Upasana believes that having a
single leader with a well-defined
philosophy that permeates
throughout the organisation can
create a unified and centralized
approach to organizational
management. This approach helps
improve control and enhances the
execution of work since there is
clarity about the roles and
responsibilities of different staff
members, leading to smoother
achievement of objectives. However,
Upasana also values the importance
of developing leaders within their
respective domains to effectively
manage and lead specific areas of
the organization. This dual
approach, combining centralized
guidance and empowered domain
leaders, contributes to a well-
rounded and effective management
structure.
Wisdom for Emerging Leaders
Upasana's advice for someone
entering a leadership position for
the first time centers on self-belief
and leading by example. She
emphasizes the importance of
believing in oneself and working
diligently to accomplish goals. In her
view, actions are more impactful
than words and are a reflection of
one's personality and leadership
qualities. Upasana advises new
leaders to lead by example, meaning
that they should be willing to do the
tasks and exhibit the behaviors they
expect from their team members.
This approach can inspire trust and
respect among the team and foster a
positive work environment.
The Organisation
The journey of Yashoda Super Speciality Hospitals began 33
years ago, following the unfortunate passing of Late Yashoda Ji,
who was Upasana's mother-in-law and diagnosed with cancer.
The family worked tirelessly to improve her health, but tragically,
she passed away. During her illness, the family faced the
challenge of having to travel to other cities like Mumbai for state-
of-the-art treatment since there was no such healthcare center in
Ghaziabad.
In response to this need, the family decided to establish a
healthcare facility in Ghaziabad to ensure that people, especially
those from disadvantaged backgrounds, wouldn't have to travel
far for advanced medical care. They started with a secondary care
hospital with 100 beds in 1990 and later expanded to 300 beds in
2000. Subsequently, a tertiary care hospital was established in
2006, followed by the opening of a quaternary care hospital in
2017. This journey reflects their commitment to providing
accessible and advanced healthcare to the community.
Yashoda Super Speciality Hospital's future plans include
establishing new centers, such as a 1200-bedded hospital,
Yashoda Medicity, in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad; a 300-bedded
Yashoda Super Speciality Hospital in Greater Noida, and Yashoda
Medicentre in Meerut, UP and Karkardooma, East Delhi, India.
Additionally, the hospital group aims to set up offices focused on
medical tourism in Europe, the Middle East, and the USA to
provide quality healthcare at international standards to
populations in these regions.
Commitment to Accessible Healthcare and Social
Responsibility
Upasana's vision is to provide quality healthcare to those who
are often left at the end of the line, as well as to work selflessly
for the betterment of society. To achieve this vision, she has
undertaken various initiatives and projects. She has played a
crucial role in implementing the Ayushman Bharat program,
India's largest social insurance initiative, aimed at providing
accessible healthcare to all. Her hospital has been actively
involved in this initiative. She is working on the ambitious goal
of TB elimination in her district by adopting 5100 TB patients
as part of the Prime Minister's initiative, "Nikshya Mein Potion
ka Nishchay." This contributes to the National TB Elimination
program's target of eliminating TB in India by 2025.
Upasana serves as the Chairperson of the Special Olympics
Delhi Chapter. Through this role, she promotes the well-being
18 | January 2024

19. of individuals with special needs,
including the blind and mentally
challenged, by providing them with free
health check-ups and suitable office
spaces to work in. She is involved in
corporate social responsibility (CSR)
initiatives, including collaborating with
Olympus to set up mobile vans
equipped with endoscopic facilities in
the remote and rural areas. These vans
bring endoscopic services directly to
people, making healthcare more
accessible. She has adopted a girls'
residential school and various NGOs
working for the girl child. She provides
free health check-ups to the students
and supports their educational needs.
Additionally, she has adopted the
village of Masauta, in the periphery of
Ghaziabad district, where she oversees
healthcare requirements.
Upasana contributes to healthcare in
high-altitude areas of Uttarakhand by
providing ambulances and medical
equipment to the Swami Vivekanand
Health Mission Society, ensuring that
people in remote regions have access to
medical services. Through her
dedication and various initiatives,
Upasana is actively working to make
healthcare accessible and improve the
well-being of marginalized
communities in India.
Ethical Patient-Centric Care
Upasana's hospital provides a wide
range of healthcare services covering
various medical specialties and super
specialties, along with comprehensive
diagnostic and rehabilitative facilities,
all available within a single healthcare
facility. While their current focus in
quaternary care involves kidney
transplants, there are plans to expand
and offer liver transplant facilities in the
near future.

28. Validation &
Aspiration
V
Dawn observes that competitors
within the industry are adopting
Alignment Health Plan's approach,
which she finds exciting as it
validates the company's direction.
The overarching aim is to
progressively revolutionize
healthcare, impacting one patient
at a time. Dawn's personal goal is to
play a role in driving this
transformation, making
improvements in senior care
throughout the United States.
28 | January 2024

29. As the average life expectancy
increases, as do the number and
proportion of older people in most
developed and developing countries,
a central question is whether this
population aging will be
accompanied by sustained or
improved health, an improving
quality of life, and adequate social
and economic resources.
Adults over the age of 65 will
account for 20% of the US
population by 2050. The fiscal and
policy ramifications of this
demographic transformation are two
of the most significant difficulties
that federal and state governments
confront today. Our healthcare
system, its financing sources, and American families will face significant strain as our population ages. A lack of personal savings for
long-term care, combined with a
fragmented and institutionally
dependent delivery system, will
endanger the health and quality of
life of aging Americans. To handle
the various chronic illnesses
prevalent in this vulnerable
population, our healthcare personnel
will need to be retooled.
Dawn Maroney is considered not just
as an industry specialist, but also as a
pioneer in preparing health care firms
for success in the hard Medicare,
Medicaid, and disadvantaged sectors.
Dawn Maroney is the President of Markets at Alignment Health, a tech-
driven firm that promotes a new approach to elder care through its Medicare Advantage services. She is
also the CEO of Alignment Health

Quintana
Unleashing Potential
and Defying All Odds
Fortunestime.com | 39

40. In the world of entrepreneurship,
Maïthé Quintana is not just a success
story; she is an inspiration. She is the
Director and Founder of IKIGAI
International Academy and an
extraordinary individual who has
triumphed over formidable challenges.
From childhood, she has grappled with
dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia,
attention deficit disorder, and
hyperactivity. Despite her learning
differences and the hurdles, she faced,
she went on to achieve remarkable
success, emerging as a millionaire
entrepreneur.
Maïthé's journey is one of incredible
resilience and determination. Her
academic path was marked by
difficulties, culminating in only
obtaining a secretarial BEP. Yet, this
did not deter her from pursuing her
dreams and proving that academic
success is not the only path to
achievement.
Drawing strength from her
experiences, Maïthé decided to pay it
forward and help others, both adults
and children, unlock their hidden
talents, reach their full potential, and
discover their purpose, their IKIGAI.
She is on a mission to guide
individuals towards finding their
rightful place in the world.
To empower people to achieve their
goals, Maïthé has developed a program
that amalgamates artificial intelligence,
neuroscience, and human guidance.
Her approach is a harmonious blend of
cutting-edge technology and personal
mentorship, making it accessible and
effective for all.
All About IKIGAI
Maïthé shares that the academy's
culture is very simple: everything is
centered, refocused again and again on
the human being, their deepest self,
their future, their skills, their values.
Whatever thoughts, emotional
encoders, emotional wounds an
individual may have, the important
thing for her is to attach herself to
everything that's good in them, and to
tell them that they're a beautiful person
at least once in their life!
In the next 15 to 20 years, this will
mean less background work for
coaches and less time wasted by
individuals, which can be counted in
years.
ŸWhat is ikigai?
Ikigai for finding or rediscovering
one's path. It's possible to rediscover
one's professional motivation and life
path, thanks to Ikigai-based coaching
and training. Maïthé Quintana,
president and founder of France's only
international Ikigaï center based on
artificial intelligence, tells us more
about this happiness secret straight
from Japan.
ŸWhat is Ikigai used for?
It's a way of rediscovering well-being
and serenity, and finding one's "way" in
all areas of life, both professional and
personal. This coaching method, which
originated in Okinawa, aims to help
individuals overcome their malaise and
bring out their talents, so that they can
feel at home in all circumstances. It
encompasses both the ideal life and the
motivation to achieve it. One's Ikigai
can evolve throughout their lives. To
find it, individuals need to ask
themselves the right questions about
their passions and talents, and match
them with what they're capable of
bringing to the world and making a
living from. Ikigaï coaches are there to
help them, to guide them to get there,
and to work on it.
ŸWho is Ikigaï for?
Everyone, individually or collectively.
Ikigaï helps to reduce emotional
burden and defuse internal emotional
conflicts. An Ikigaï audit analyzes
Quality of Working Life issues and the
emotional temperature of corporate
teams. Coaches help individuals to look at things from a different angle and to begin a process of benevolence. Training courses range from 7 hours to
318 hours and can be delivered face-to-
face or remotely. In her view, managers
have a duty to make resources such as
Ikigaï available, so as to give their staff
the opportunity to find a better way of
seeing their talents and strengthening
their positive points. Better well-being
leads to better performance.
Maïthé adds that Ikigaï gives new
meaning to one's professional and
personal life... It's often said that
"when one is well, others are too."
Ikigaï is useful at any age, at any stage
of life... Finding it can help individuals
to get out of a "brown out" or quiet
quitting, a "burn out," or to move
forward in a reconversion or a more
radical change.
Endeavors in IKIGAI Coaching and
Investment Fund
According to Maïthé, IKIGAI is
positioned in a wide range of fields, but
her common denominator is the human
factor. In fact, the Institut Pédagogique
Neuro-Assimil Center (Ipnass.com) in
France is dedicated to training Ikigai
Adult; Junior 14/20 years and coaches
Ikigai Quality of Working Life
consultants, and setting up annual
workshops dedicated to the search for
one's ikigai, either face-to-face or
online. They have a skills assessment
coaching unit that is essentially
dedicated to professional retraining and
the readjustment of the human mass
following a life accident, job loss, or
search for meaning. Maïthé also offers
management training based on
neuroscience and collective emotional
intelligence. These courses are
designed for level 1, N-2, and N-3
managers to improve working
conditions and increase team
involvement and productivity.

A Visionary Leader Empowering
Transformation in Business and
Life
Fortunestime.com | 43

44. “In order to be a great leader you must be able to
articulate your vision. Share that vision so that the
team and others can buy into it and collaborate on
the execution. Know who you are and what you
want to achieve. Make sure you can see what that
looks like (visualize it). Identify who in the
industry you admire and ensure to connect with
those people all the time. Watch and learn. Listen.
Never take anything personally. Accept feedback,
both good and bad, from those you admire Ignore
the rest. The other big one is to manage burnout.
Take a break every quarter and splash out on a 4-
day weekend somewhere lush. Think massages,
food, wine, and beaches. This allows you to
disconnect and gain clarity on where you are, and
it will also give you the opportunity to perhaps
look at things a little differently. Always good for
you and the business. I leave you with this thought
: Make it your mission to let clarity define you."

49. Throughout her career, Mary has worked with
distinguished clients, including Independence Blue
Cross, The Center for Creative Leadership-
Healthcare, Mercy Health System, and Penn
Medicine. Her achievements led to invitations to
serve as CEO and Chief Marketing Officer for
healthtech software companies backed by private
equity and venture capital, where she played a
crucial role in preparing these companies for
transactions.
The inception of Revealing Genius came during
the recession of 2007-2009, prompted by
confidential requests Mary received from
executives seeking assistance with their personal
brands. These individuals, many of whom had lost
high-profile roles, were grappling with imposter
syndrome and needed help. Fast forward to 2020
and the COVID-19 pandemic, Mary recognized
the rising demand for personal branding, leading
her to launch Revealing Genius. The venture aims
to support professionals in standing out in
competitive landscapes and adapting to changing
workforce dynamics.
Mary's portfolio includes collaborations with
senior-level healthcare executives from esteemed
organizations like Blue Cross Blue Shield, Johnson
& Johnson, Genentech, Lehigh Valley Health
System, Centene, and Optum. Her expertise
extends to individuals with diverse backgrounds,
such as MDs, Ph.Ds., PharmDs, healthcare
lawyers, allied health professionals, scientists,
nurses, and founders of revolutionary healthcare
tech companies. Through Revealing Genius, Mary
amplifies their unique personal brand narratives,
ensuring their voices are heard and recognized.
Brand Manifestos and Impactful Messaging
Mary emphasizes that the rapid success of
Revealing Genius can be attributed to its
unwavering focus on clear values. These values
are precisely articulated in the Brand's Manifesto,
which can be distilled into the powerful phrase,
"Messaging Matters." The Brand Manifesto serves
as a companion to a company's mission, vision, and
value statements, offering a complementary
perspective.
The Brand Manifesto has swiftly emerged as one
of Revealing Genius' most sought-after offerings,
particularly among executive leaders and their
teams. Mary believes that every leader should
possess one, considering it a paramount exercise
in their career. Crafting a Brand Manifesto
prompts deep introspection into one's life,
illuminates its purpose, and identifies core values.
This process provides the language to define
personal principles and a calling, empowering
individuals to graciously decline endeavors that no
longer align. It provides a framework for
conscientiously pursuing impactful work.
The team at Revealing Genius frequently
collaborates with board directors, C-Suite teams,
and executive leaders to craft a corporate Brand
Manifesto that fosters alignment at the highest
echelons of an organization. The Executive Leader
Brand Manifesto stands as one of the most
popular and impactful offerings at Revealing
Genius, signifying the significance of personal
values and messaging in leadership.
Elevating Women Leaders
Mary firmly believes that the world requires a
more comprehensive approach to sponsorship
that actively elevates more women into pivotal
leadership roles, particularly within STEM fields
(science, technology, engineering, math). She
acknowledges the invaluable role played by an
ophthalmologist who believed in her and kick-
started her first business. This act of faith, drives
her to reciprocate and uplift others.
