The Foundation

Ready For Female Leadership

OUR MISSION & PURPOSE OUR WORK INCLUDES
Our foundation offers the expertise needed to support gender balanced leadership. We focus not only on the 7 pillars listed in our book but promote gender inclusive leadership qualities in organizations and in society.  The publishing of books, organising / facilitating events, workshops, presentations, and other related activities. We are especially committed to creating awareness and implementation of gender inclusive workplaces.  

We believe what the world needs NOW, and is more than ready for, is gender balanced leadership. Despite research showing the benefits of balanced leadership, action is still required to get the topic off the table and into our workplaces and communities.  It is paramount that a more inclusive culture be fostered, where all employees feel psychologically safe to contribute. Contact us to find out how we can support you to achieve greater gender inclusive qualities across all levels in your organization. We all must change and adjust at work: individually, in teams, as leaders, and in organizations.

snippets from this book

Female leadership is a current topic that many leaders and authorities are engaging in, to understand how it contributes to the success of their enterprises and communities. The path to female leadership brings new challenges and creates the need for innovative solutions. Therefore, a group of 28 experts (women and men) decided to write a book about it. Should you wish to read the Foreword, written by Robert Baker or the Introduction of the book, or see the Table of Contents please click here.

Learning is a live-long skill that should be embedded in our children. My mother taught me about learning by continually reminding me that with a good education a woman can do anything a man can do and that we shouldn’t depend on men to support us. Recognize and LIVE your OWN Purpose!
