The World Economic Forum’s (WEF) 2023 Global Gender Gap Index,
benchmarking gender equality across 146 nations, ranked the North
American region second in progress globally, after Europe’s top spot. At
the current pace, it would take 95 years – almost another century – to
bridge the gender gap in North America (and at least 131 years
worldwide). https://bit.ly/3KmlpAg

Let’s beat this all-too-accurate projection! This isn’t just a paper goal; it’s a commitment to equality and opportunity for all. Together, let’s dedicate ”the full power of human creativity,” in the words of the WEF, to forging a future where gender does not limit potential but enhances diversity, innovation, and pathways to shared prosperity.

“Change is the only constant in life,” said Greek philosopher Heraclitus. We can’t stop the inevitability of change, so how do we conquer the deep uncertainty and anxiety it brings? At WLC Dr. Luana Marques, Harvard Medical School Associate Professor of Psychology, will present her science-based method for turning our anxiety into our superpower ‒ enabling us to boldly navigate the waves of change in our careers and lives.

This Memorial Day we honor the brave women and men who gave their lives for all of us while serving in our nation’s armed forces. Let's pause to remember and pay tribute to those who have paved the way for a better, more inclusive future.

The words of an AANHPI Trailblazer: “Life is hard! But the one thing that gets me out of bed is just persevering. I know that I can't give up; I have to keep going. I want to set a precedent for other girls and women that you can go after your wildest passions, that nothing can stop you, and you can achieve whatever success means to you if you just keep going, even when others are telling you no.” – Michelle Yin - CTO AND Co-Founder, Discz Music

At the 2024 Women's Leadership Conference you'll have the opportunity to connect with a dynamic network of inspiring women leaders and discover powerful leadership strategies. This acclaimed conference helps women leaders harness the tools and tips to take control of their future, own their power, and achieve their ambitions.

And this year, we’ve devised a new theme to capture the driving spirit in which we are gathering this year: we're taking charge with a new sense of purpose, claiming our opportunities, and owning our voices to make our marks – recognizing that our careers, our relationships, and our lives are Ours To Own.

As Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Month, May celebrates and honors the heritage, cultures, and invaluable contributions of these diverse communities to the American mosaic. Integral to this rich history are the countless AANHPI women trailblazers, leaders, and innovators who not only shaped their communities but also continue to power positive change in America.

Witness Kamala Harris, first Asian American United States Vice President: “I was raised by a mother who said to me all the time, ‘Kamala, you may be the first to do many things ‒ make sure you’re not the last.’”

Mark your calendars for Session 5 on June 11 which will feature Alex Lyon and Julien Mirivel talking about Positive Communication for Leaders.

May is Mental Health Awareness and Women’s Health Awareness Month. Both stress the importance of women being mindful of their health holistically - mind, body, and spirit - and advocating for their overall health and well-being. Make it a priority to schedule all recommended yearly health exams and preventive screenings at every state of life. Leaders must be “fit to lead” in every respect - mental and physical health included! And better leaders create an environment that supports wellbeing and success for everyone!

Many of us struggle as leaders to communicate with our teams beyond giving directions and routine information. Yet we know that effective communication empowers teams and builds connections, resulting in more productive and successful workplaces.

Join Session 5 of the Aspiring Women IV series as two Ph.D. experts, Alex Lyon and Julien Mirivel, bring their decades of experience and research to practical guidance for communication that forges team and stakeholder trust.

There are more women in the workplace than ever before but they still earn less than men and are underrepresented in leadership roles. Educating women on how to advocate for themselves while also educating businesses on why it’s important to invest in their female employees drives the FWLE programs like Aspiring Women and the Women’s Leadership Conference.

Our vision is the evolution of human society where women and men have equal opportunity and access to education, healthcare, work advancement and representation in decision making. Join us as we empower women to develop their abilities to their fullest potential through affordable leadership education to help them excel in their workplaces and communities.
