Jahna Barbar is a Woman Who Wows for many reasons – she has a successful career as the regional Marketing & Business Development Manager at Seyfarth Shaw LLP, she dedicates her time to volunteering for the Legal Marketing Association, where she has held multiple leadership roles, and she is a role model for women in many ways.

I met Jahna though our mutual work for the LMA, and I was immediately impressed with her – she was not only smart, but she was kind and she has the wholehearted enthusiasm for what she does – whether in the office or in her volunteer work that I recognize in myself. She is the kind of person who gives 200% to everything she does. I’ve seen her support other women and be an advocate for future leaders, and that’s a trait that we need more than ever today. Learn more about Jahna.

Throughout the month of March and beyond, I will be spotlighting “women who wow” me on the blog– these are women I’ve met through my professional and personal lives. They are leaders who inspire and awe me, and push me to be a better version of myself. They are role models for the future generation of women. I think we can all learn from them.

Today I’m highlighting Carolyn Sandano, who I have known for many years through the Legal Marketing Association. Carolyn is a seasoned legal marketer who is always calm under pressure and offers wise advice. I can think of many occasions where she has supported not only me but other women and been generous with her time and counsel. Get to know more about Carolyn.

In the first installment, meet Emily Joslin, a lifelong New Yorker who recently relocated to Florida for the next chapter of her life. Her career has pivoted in a very interesting way – she was a marketing executive in the financial services industry for many years, an entrepreneur in the wellness area and the founder of a nonprofit organization that sought to put kids on the path to philanthropy before she entered the entertainment business as an on-air host in Florida for a lifestyle show, Fly with Kevin Scott.

Emily is kind and strong, she is inspiring to me in so many ways. I met her unconventionally – we bonded over a shared connection and our experience with that person. We supported each other and became friends – I immensely value her advice and friendship. Emily is a great mom and friend, and she’s someone you should know more about. Here’s my interview with her.

I love this campaign featuring AIG employees to celebrate Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, which is on March 8.

The day is an opportunity for people all over…
