"Foundation of Civilization"

History shows that ancient cultures had an inherent respect for the power of women, but throughout history, women's natural talent for leadership has often been misunderstood and under-appreciated. The speaker observes that how a culture treats its female population is representative of its level of civility and notes that, in addition, women's leadership plays a crucial role in civilizing society.

"Spoke on Ethical Leadership"


"I truly enjoyed the conference. As a leader, I walk my talk and set an example for others, to see how important it is for women to participate in Entrepreneurial Leadership Forums."

This was an exceptional conference!  I have attended conferences around the world.  They have been organized by some of the top conference organizers.   My hat goes off to you and everyone who worked to make this day as special and magical as it was.  I felt honored to be among the group.  My sense was that it truly was set-up as an exchange.  The presenters and the audience members alike were part of the day's sharing.  You expanded my understanding of the role of mentor.  You expanded my concept of the relationship between the mentor and the mentee.   I met the incredible women I was destined to meet.
