At Idea Hall, we believe that leadership is about more than forging a business path, it’s about making an impact along the way. By leading with purpose, championing women in business, and investing in mentorship, we are shaping a future where leadership is bold, inclusive, and driven by purpose.
In this week’s edition of The Goodness Report, we’re diving into what drives us: how purpose fuels our work, how our women-owned certification empowers growth, and how mentorship lights the way for future leaders. These aren’t just themes we talk about; they are pillars of how our founder and CEO, Rebecca Hall, leads every day.
Purpose-Driven Leadership
Our founder and CEO, Rebecca Hall, has built more than just an agency, she has developed a culture rooted in goodness and purpose.
“At Idea Hall, purpose isn’t just a guiding principle, it’s the foundation of everything we do. When businesses are rooted in purpose, decisions align with established values, create meaningful impact, and inspire teams to do the same. True leadership isn’t just about driving results; it’s about creating a culture where people feel empowered to contribute, innovate, and grow.”
🌟 Rebecca’s Insight: How has leading with purpose shaped the success of Idea Hall?
I believe in the power of bringing people and resources together to make our community stronger, not just for today, but for the long haul. True leadership isn’t measured by quick wins or headline moments, but by the lasting impact we create through meaningful collaboration, dedicated service, and an unwavering commitment to doing what’s right. That philosophy has guided Idea Hall to some of its most significant and rewarding successes.
🌟 Rebecca’s Insight: What advice would you give to leaders who want to align their businesses with a greater mission?
Find your champions. Build real relationships. Get personally involved.
I lead with a One Team mentality, grounded in relationships and process—always moving with intention and momentum. And I live by this: Believe in yourself and in something greater. Surround yourself with support. Clean up and show up. Work to gain momentum.
Being a Certified Women-Owned Business
As a women-owned business, we don’t just talk about empowering women, we live it every day. Idea Hall is dedicated to fostering an inclusive workplace where women are seen, heard, and supported in their growth. Through mentorship, leadership opportunities, and a commitment to purpose-driven success, we shape a future where women thrive as leaders, changemakers, and trailblazers.
“Being a certified women-owned business allows us to lead by example, showing that women-led organizations can thrive while also supporting other women in business. It’s about using our platform to advocate for equal opportunities and to inspire others to challenge the status quo. This is our commitment, to foster an ecosystem where women are not only included but are shaping the future of business.“ – Rebecca Hall
From leadership development to intentional mentorship, we are continuously building systems and opportunities for women to succeed.
Mentorship & Paying It Forward
Leadership isn’t about individual gain or promotion; it’s about lifting others up and including them in success and growth.
For Rebecca, mentorship isn’t a box to check. It’s personal. It’s powerful. And it’s something she’s experienced firsthand.
“Throughout my life and career, I’ve intentionally sought out the guidance and inspiration of strong women (and men), whether close friends, peers in the industry or admired from afar. My family, my faith and mentorship has shaped me into who I am today. It’s about building confidence, opening doors, and creating a ripple effect that goes far beyond the individual. I believe mentorship is one of the most impactful ways we can build the next generation of women leaders.”
— Rebecca Hall
At Idea Hall, mentorship is part of the culture. We believe in lifting others up, in sharing knowledge generously, and in making room at the table for rising leaders. It’s how we create real, lasting change.
