Promoting Female Leaders from Around the World

A couple of weeks ago I had the great fortune of meeting a long time reader of my Unleash Your Potential Newsletter. Conchita Serri, Director of the Office of Affirmative Action at Santa Clara University told me about a project that she has been involved with called the Global Women's Leadership Network. The purpose of this network is:

" . . . building an international network of women leaders. We empower those who dare to transform their organizations, their communities, and the world. Our programs cultivate international leaders and establish worldwide connections that will support their success. Through these women, we touch the lives of many more."

Earlier this week they concluded their World Leaders of the World program - which brought together 19 woman leaders from 9 countries including: Afghanistan, Kenya, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Poland, Turkey, Uganda, and the United States.

I didn't have to talk to Conchita very long to be inspired not only by the goals of the program, but by the stories of the remarkable leaders that are involved - both as participants and faculty.

I share this you because if you read more on their site you will be inspired by these women. I share this because you may know someone who might be a future participant in this program or become a valued part of this network, and I share this with you because you might feel lead to donate funds to help make this program successful for the long term.

As leaders we need to continually see the handiwork of other leaders to be inspired and reminded of the ways our leadership skills can positively impact the world. Take a few minutes to learn more about this Newtowork, and I believe you will be both inspired and reminded.
