- Women As Leaders... hear the
drumbeat
Women as Leaders takes the audience on a span of emotions from tears
to laughter, encouragement to feedback, and support from those who
have gone before us paving the way for women today.
A single drum beat begins to call the audience to listen and then
they are challenged to think of whose shoulders they are standing
upon….who paved the way for them to be where they are on life’s
journey. As several share the answer to the question, all in the
room are taking their own journey down memory lane.
This keynote address on the topic of leadership is like no other!
The traits and characteristics of leadership are presented using
famous women and examples of how they illustrate and demonstrate
leadership. There is interaction among the audience sharing their
thoughts and ideas and how they present each trait and
characteristic. The group then explores what “robs” women of being
seen as leaders….which is an eye opener!
Then the audience is asked to come along on the journey as we
continue to strive to be an effective leader. But first we must
determine what is needed to be packed in the suitcase for the trip.
On my! Some of the items that are packed, let’s just say are
intriguing, funny, and serious.
And then you are asked to think of how you are presenting yourself
as a leader? Who do you want to stand on your shoulders? Who will
stand before a group of peers some day in the future and say they
are standing on your shoulders.
Let the Leader’s drum beat within you.
