NEWS FROM THE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S FORUM: Chicago
October 2007- 25 th Anniversary
Celebrating “Women Changing the World and Shaping the Future”
Lessons learnt...
- Being isolated at the top- how best to manage this- support structures, mentors, role models
- Global connectivity, global citizenship, our inability to learn from past mistakes
- Make sense of all these global issues, how to prioritise them, focus one’s efforts- have a grounded message to influence others
- Climate change, require regulation to create a sustainable world, need to act
- Rural women- how do we empower them
- How to keep pace with men and still contribute to the family
- Will we do enough to leave a legacy? ‘ To whom much is given, much is expected’
- Show up with authenticity-be real, be true, be passionate. Play it forward, support other women
- Help all women with their decisions- those with careers and those who choose to stay at home
- Reverse mentoring- ‘mentor your mentor’. Create a journey of co development, with other women and with men, co create wisdom for more effective leadership
- For “ women currently at the top” - learn to ‘let go’ modify the ‘perfection’ model and empower your team
- More women should run for public office and make an impact on the legislation of the land to influence change
- Create a critical mass of gender representation to create stronger support systems and to ‘be heard’ as women
- There is no honour in being 1st, there is only honour in not being last!
