“After attending the conversation with Gail and Steve on March 5th, I am filled with so much gratitude that we get to work for a company that is always looking for ways to improve other people's lives. Whether it is through employee development and training or putting people out in the community to represent our organization and give back to the communities in which we live. Because of these experiences, I am inspired to lean into every opportunity that is presented that will allow me to grow and develop my skills and then hopefully use the things I am learning to give back. I have never felt more supported in this personal goal of mine as an employee of the Larry Miller Organization.”

Women on the Move
The mission of the National MS Society is the ensure that people affected by MS can live their best lives as we stop MS in its tracks, restore what has been lost, and end MS forever.
“As a newer Megaplex employee, I was honored to have the opportunity to attend this event. It was inspiring to see the effect that one person, one business, or one movement could create. I was reminded of Larry’s quote, “Go out into the world and do good until there is too much good in the world.” I am humbled to work for a brand that represents and emulates so much positivity. I am grateful for these opportunities provided by the Women’s Leadership Group so that I may become the best version of myself, in all aspects of my life.”
- Ashley Blake, Guest Services, Megaplex
“This was my first experience at the event, and I was so moved by everyone’s story. It was a powerful afternoon, and I am fortunate to have grown my awareness of what MS is and how many lives are affected by it the disease.”
-Samantha Cordova, Account Manager, Prestige
“The event was inspiring. Getting to be a part of this event and seeing the perseverance and spirit of the fashion show participants to overcome such a devastating diagnosis was amazing. I’m so glad that groups like ours get involved in supporting their foundation!”
- Daina Kofoed, Account Manager, Prestige

On October 20, the Gail Women’s Leadership Group hosted a virtual discussion on inclusion, diversity, and belonging with Dr. Steve L. Robbins. Based on his study of the field and using his signature insights and humor, Dr. Robbins explored unconscious bias in its many forms and how it can impact productivity and performance in the workplace.
Dr. Robbins provided tangible examples of why belonging is so important and advice on how to increase the feeling of belonging of people in our lives and organizations. By practicing both open-mindedness through internal and external curiosity, along with being more mindful through recognition, reflection, and responding with positive intent, we can work to increase belonging.
Gail Miller, chair and owner of the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies, concluded the discussion by sharing her main takeaway: “It is good to be an insider, so let’s all of us use our life and energy to be a caring person and bring all of those on the outside to the inside where we all belong.”
We hope you enjoyed this latest installment of the Women’s Leadership Group speaker series.

August 26, 2021 - The Gail Miller Women’s Leadership Group welcomed Tami Steggell, Founder of RubySnap Fresh Cookies, for a unique in-person, live event and virtual discussion moderated by Gail Miller, owner and chair of the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies.
Not only has she been my spur of inspiration…but she has also been my best friend since the day we met,” said Lindsey Willis, Compliance Specialist from Prestige Financial Services, Inc, in describing Tami Steggell, owner and founder of RubySnap cookies. Steggell, a former architectural designer, founded RubySnap Fresh Cookies in 2008, designing a brand focused on using clean, natural ingredients with the least amount of waste. Steggell is known for her innovative flavors, unyielding commitment to quality and a firm belief in pursuing one’s personal self. Steggell brought her genuine self and ideas for thriving to her conversation with Gail Miller, owner and immediate past chair of the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies.
Insights from Tami Steggell
“It’s important to check in on your level of happiness and be honest with yourself. It’s ok to love a career for many years and still have a desire to migrate to a new career and learn in new ways. For me, it is important to feel challenged and refreshed. Why not feel happy in our careers, when we spend so much time in that place?”
“Stop! You are the sum of your thoughts; action follows thought in every form. Think about possibility, capability, success against odds, turn debilitating fear into healthy actionable fear. You are what you think, so start thinking about the good parts of you.”
When asked about overcoming challenges, Steggell provided this powerful analogy: “Think of a speed bump, as soon as you see one you immediately slow down. The first thing I do is – Slow down! Slow down! Slow down!” Where most of us are tempted to power through problems and get out of them as quickly as possible, Steggell advised slowing down to think and plan.
Always looking for the positive, Steggell says, “Whining about a circumstance does not make that circumstance better, action does. I prefer triumph and pressing forward. It’s a discipline of choice just like exercise and other healthy habits, put your mind in the practice of implementing positive thoughts and behaviors.”
Steggell shared a few personal thoughts on growing and expanding her business. For Steggell, success is not defined by money or expansion, but rather personal satisfaction and happiness. For Steggell, family, her employees and the community are primary drivers.

Coping During Challenging Times
vimeo
On June 18, 2020, the Gail Miller Women’s Leadership Group hosted a virtual panel discussion on Coping During Challenging Times. Panelists included incredible women leaders Amy Brooks, President, Team Marketing and Business Operations and Chief Innovation Officer for the NBA; Vanessa Bryant, author of “The Rib” and a registered nurse; Dr. Angela Dunn, State of Utah Lead Epidemiologist; and Mikelle Moore, Senior Vice President and Chief Community Health Officer for Intermountain Healthcare. Pat Jones, CEO of the Women’s Leadership Institute, moderated the discussion.
If you were unable to attend the live presentation, or just want to recapture the “gems of wisdom” shared by our panelists during an hour that passed too quickly, please use the link below.
Gail Miller, chair and owner of the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies, concluded the session by saying, “We don’t have to wait for anybody to say, ‘It’s your time,’ because it’s your time every single day.” Miller also shared a poem by Leslie Dwight, “What if 2020 is the year that we’ve been waiting for? A year so uncomfortable, so painful, so scary, so raw, that it finally forces us to grow. A year that screams so loudly, finally awakening us from an ignorant slumber. A year we can finally accept the need for change. Declare change. Work for change. Become the change. A year that we can finally band together instead of pushing each other farther apart. Twenty-twenty isn’t canceled; it’s the most important year of all.”
We hope you enjoyed this latest installment of the Women’s Leadership Group speaker series.
