Molly Thompson, the co-founder of Kind Campaign, proves that there really is no force more powerful than a strong and determined woman. Through the nonprofit she started with her best friend Lauren Paul<\/a>, which works to reduce girl-against-girl bullying, she’s teaching girls and women to always lift each other up.<\/p>\n

Below, Thompson explains the importance of removing toxicity from your life, being present in the moment, and more.<\/p>\n

Why do you think it’s important for women to be in positions of leadership?<\/strong><\/em>
\nWomen should be in positions of leadership because women are leaders. The fact that women being seen as leaders is relatively new is baffling to me. Women are incredibly multifaceted and have some of the fiercest voices out there. We need to elevate them more so they can share their innovative ideas that infuse intelligence and passion, and so that women in these roles isn’t an anomaly, but rather the norm.<\/p>\n

What does success mean to you?<\/strong><\/em>
\nDoing something you’re passionate about, feeling supported by the people around you, and being free to evolve and discover new things in business and in life.<\/p>\n

What kind of legacy do you hope to leave for women in your industry?<\/strong><\/em>
\nYou can be strong and kind. They are not mutually exclusive. You can be in a position of power without pushing other women down to get there. By bringing others up and supporting others, everyone is lifted higher and the outcome of success is much greater. I hope to empower women to practice kindness while never hesitating to stand up for themselves [and] realizing that assertiveness doesn\u2019t make a woman unkind. It just makes her stronger.<\/p>\n
