Inspired women are empowered women.
Educated women are empowered women.
Women with financial options are empowered women.
Women with community support and mentors are empowered women.
And what do these empowered women do?
Well, the research indicates that empowered women, in turn, empower their communities and that those empowered communities thrive and grow for the benefit of all.
To me, this is everything.
This is an important part of the work we need to do to lead our world into a kinder, more equal, more sustainable future. I strongly believe that we must focus on bringing more gender equity to all areas of our society—politics, economics, education, healthcare— if we want a shot at finally changing the story of the world.
Due to that, women’s empowerment has been one of the main pillars of my work for the last 5 1/2 years that I’ve been coaching and an area I will continue to work on for the foreseeable future. The world clearly benefits when women participate in more decision making at all levels.
So… it is with great pleasure that I announce that I will be working hand in hand with Airbnb to empower female entrepreneurs in Latin America in 2020. The details of our engagement are still being worked out so I can’t share much more but I’m incredibly excited to be a part of this initiative!
***That said, I also believe strongly in the power of collaboration. If you have a women’s empowerment program in your company, are looking to start one, or want to contribute to the cause, let’s chat and see how we can unite forces!***
