Unstoppable Female Leadership Being a woman in high places.
Feminine power can move mountains. It is only when women acknowledge their strength, take ownership of it, understand it and act on it that their surrounding environment starts to align to their vision. This talk incites the audience to evaluate the depth of responsibility they take for themselves and assess their intentions which underpin how we project ourselves into the world.
It helps to differentiate: mothering a team vs. leading a team, being charming vs. being a business partner, pleasing others vs. maturing them, being a good girl vs. getting what you want. It holds a mirror to the question of limited progress and losing female talent that we keep asking ourselves. It sets the audience off on a journey of discovery that they often dont know exists.
