Women Lead Differently: Owning your Strength to Lead a World in Pain

5/12/20: Our beautiful world is in pain, and so are we.

Women lead differently and that leadership is sorely needed right now. You are what the world needs now.

In this interactive and inspiring workshop, Jennifer Kenny, leadership innovator and coach to the world’s foremost thinkers, and Nicole DeMeo, personal branding and communications leader, look forward to exploring with you what it means to lead differently, as a woman. We will show you how tap into 100% of your leadership capacities by embracing the totality of your leadership. We will introduce you to frameworks for speaking about and better understanding your incredible strength as women leaders.

We will look at how some fabulous leaders are forging a new kind of leadership during this crisis. These leaders are breaking out of the binary and using both their female and male leadership traits and qualities – 100% of their leadership capabilities – to speak to a world in desperate need of a new kind of leadership.

Then we will provide you with some of Jennifer’s frameworks – currently being used by Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and start-ups – for speaking and thinking about ‘100% Capacity Leadership’. In the interactive session, you’ll have a list of leadership qualities to review and reflect on when you have used specific qualities from that list. We’ll invite you to put your examples in chat, and we will read and share some of them so that we all may learn. We will finish by inviting you to update your LinkedIn profile to reflect those words and your powerful example.

Our goal is for you to FEEL: Seen, heard, and valued as strong women leaders…together.

We want you to be able to relish a time of SOLIDARITY with other women leaders. We will give you words to own your unique POWER and VALUE. Together we will TAKE a STAND for 100% Capacity Leadership by sharing it in COMMUNITY, putting it on LinkedIn, and helping the world understand how to see, hear, and value this new kind of leadership that women, and some men, are engaging to lead the world out of pain and towards a better, more compassionate, and balanced future.

Join us for this reflective and empowering session.
