The Women's Leadership Revival Tour
The future of the world depends on women.
– Kofi Annan, former Secretary-General, United Nations
Margaret Wheatley invites you to join the Women's Leadership Revival Tour
Women all over the world - in villages, governments, organizations - are stepping forward to offer their leadership in service to the issues most affecting their communities. Though their lives vary greatly in material resources, they each are providing a crucial resource, the gift of their leadership.
As women develop economic, social and political influence, profound shifts occur: children's health improves, literacy increases, families stabilize and communities learn self-reliance. Wherever women step forward to lead, significant changes happen and the whole system benefits.
The impact of women's imaginative, caring and generous leadership is visible all over the world. So many women have inspired me that I'm now focusing a significant portion of my work on encouraging more women to step forward. We need to claim our role as leaders, not for power, status or ego, but because the world needs what we can offer.
It's time for us women to gather together in deep reflection and joyous discovery of where we can most meaningfully offer our leadership. Gathering in the company of other women will revive and refresh us for the work that is ahead. Together, we can celebrate what we've already accomplished and learned and discover new ways to contribute.
The Women's Leadership Revival Tour will be appearing in many different cities over the next year. I hope you will join me when The Tour appears in your vicinity. I promise a wonderful gathering that will stimulate your curiosity about where your own leadership can be of most benefit and inspire you to offer it in service to the needs of this time.
May you discover even more ways to offer the gifts of your leadership.
— Meg Wheatley
