Elle Rustique: Restoring Dignity and Fair Pay with Smart Technology Founder, TipBrightly 📍 United States | LinkedIn Elle Rustique first made an impression in a pitch competition in 2018 when she won by telling her mother’s story. Her mother immigrated from the Philippines and worked as a hotel housekeeper in a time when tips made a real difference for families. Those small earnings enabled joyful moments like family trips to McDonald’s. Elle saw that many women still face low wages, often earning the federal minimum of $7.25 per hour, while the shift to cashless transactions makes traditional tipping harder than ever. Determined to solve this challenge, Elle built TipBrightly. The platform uses in‑room QR codes to make cashless tipping easy, and it now operates in 160 locations around the world. The impact has been meaningful. Nine out of ten women working in those locations earn additional income through tips, with average tips ranging from five dollars in typical hotels to fifteen dollars in luxury properties. Elle has taken her mother’s struggle and turned it into a solution that restores dignity and fair compensation to thousands of working women. Elle’s persistence has defined her journey. Before the pandemic, investors and hotel leaders were skeptical because QR codes were not yet widely adopted and because the problem she addressed affected low‑income workers. She continued to tell the story and refine the solution, connecting with mentors, joining top accelerators, and earning support from leading venture firms. When COVID‑19 made QR codes mainstream, the world was finally ready for what Elle had seen all along.

Teresa Ging Built a Sweet Empire with Strategy, Purpose, and 200 Flavors Founder, Sugar Bliss 📍 United States| LinkedIn In 2007, Teresa Ging left the corporate finance world to pursue a dream that began with cupcakes and a spark of purpose. After being passed over for a promotion, despite outperforming her peers, Teresa had a defining moment. She watched a friend bake, and it ignited a vision.

Nearly 18 years later, Sugar Bliss has grown from a single storefront to a nationally recognized baked goods brand with over 200 products and retail placement in more than 100 stores.

Deborah Leben is helping women rediscover purpose in their careers—and reminding them they never have to do it alone. For decades, Deborah Leben thrived in a world few people get to see up close. Her work in forensic science, followed by leadership roles in federal agencies and nonprofits, gave her something rare: a career that felt like a calling. But over time, something shifted. She began to notice how often professionals stepped into leadership roles without the support they needed to grow. Promotions came, but so did quiet burnout. Many felt overwhelmed, unsure of their next move, or disconnected from the passion that brought them there in the first place. Deborah saw the gap—and decided to fill it. She launched Career Successes Academy , a space for driven professionals who want more: more clarity, more momentum, and more purpose in their work. “Career growth isn’t a one-time class,” she says. “It’s a journey that deserves ongoing support.” Today, she helps women align their strengths with work that excites them, using tools that focus on clarity—not competition. The Power of Clarity One of the first things Deborah helps her clients uncover is their why . That clarity doesn’t come from another certificate or checklist. It comes from slowing down long enough to ask: What do I really value? What makes me come alive? What kind of legacy do I want to build? To guide this process, she uses two reflective tools: joy journaling  and vision work . “Journaling helps unlock what’s often hidden beneath the surface—those unspoken dreams, untapped strengths, and limiting beliefs we don’t always realize we carry,” she says. “Vision work takes it further. When you can picture a meaningful future and believe you can shape it, you lead with more clarity, courage, and confidence.” Her Book, Her Message Deborah’s book, Releasing Your Public Service Potential , shares the same mission as her coaching: to help people move from surviving their careers to finding purpose in them. It’s written for women navigating transitions, questioning their path, or wondering if they’re still walking in their “why.” Through honest reflections and practical steps, Deborah invites readers to align their work with their values—and make the kind of impact that lasts. What Unstoppable Really Looks Like In every part of her work, Deborah returns to one core belief: we were never meant to walk this journey alone. “Surround yourself with women who are ahead of you—those who inspire you, stretch you, and reflect the kind of faith-filled leadership you aspire to,” she says. “And don’t forget to reach back. Mentorship isn’t just about guidance—it’s about creating legacy.” For her, being unstoppable doesn’t mean doing it all. It means doing what matters—with purpose, with clarity, and with a deep trust that you were made for more. “I believe everyone has an inner ‘why’ and a unique vision waiting to be unleashed,” she says. “Every day is a new opportunity to step into that calling. And it’s never too late to begin.” Follow Deborah’s journey:  💼   www.deborahleben.com  📘 Releasing Your Public Service Potential  📩 careercoach@deborahleben.com
