Women and Emerging Futures

The next wave of my own evolution lies in exploring the potential of women to profoundly shape our world. Not only if women can but if women will...do what is required to make the difference. This demands redefining our notions of 'leadership' and reclaiming meaningful expression for women. To progress beyond historical notions of evolution through incremental change, we must redefine what it is to be human - and women are the key.

Small groups - big impact

Day 4 of Leadership Redefined - Reclaimed is over. This small group of women covered more ground in four days than most of us cover in four years.

It wasn't always easy and it wasn't always fun - and it was worth every second. Today, they look and sound different. They are more awake..more present...more connected to themselves. They have clarity. They have a willingness to engage. They have the desire to continue to discover more about themselves.

I continue to believe that women are the key. Each of these women is going home today, more aware of themselves and their potential to have an impact on their world - for no reason other than their willingness to be authentic.

Thirty seconds of authenticity can undo decades of cultural conditioning. No wonder so many are terrified of it and committed to preventing it.

Before we can find its meaningful expression, we must redefine leadership so that we can live it in ways that do not destroy us and the people we love.

I'm tired and know that it has been worth every second. I know there will be many, many more Leadership Redefined - Reclaimed experiences. As women gather in small groups, I'll be there to open doors, identify pathways and gateways, and invite and allow. In those moments, it will all unfold exactly as it should.

Breathing is good....
