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."
