Speaker Urges Women to Embrace Multiple Paths to Leadership
Summary
A presenter at the meeting marked Women’s History Month by encouraging women to reject a single model of leadership and to bring their full identities to leadership roles.
A speaker at the meeting encouraged women considering leadership roles in education and other fields to reject the idea that there is only one correct way to lead and to bring their whole selves to leadership. The speaker said many women feel “imposter syndrome” and believe they must change how they act, talk and dress; she urged them that “you are good enough” and to “take the risk.”
The speaker discussed combining parenting and professional responsibilities, saying that nurturing skills used with one’s children can extend to the children one impacts professionally and that women do not have to choose between those roles. She closed by honoring Women’s History Month and encouraging women leaders to “be you, and the rest will follow.”
