There has not been a time in modern history on a cross-cultural and global basis where men and women have stood side by side providing leadership that equally respects and acknowledges both masculine and feminine attributes. ......
I was awakened one evening, just short of two and a half years ago, with this thought loudly repeating in my head. This late night turned out to be a turning point in my life. This thought is not a thought that I had previously explored in great detail. My life work has focused on supporting women to create meaningful businesses that reflect their deep values, but that evening I clearly began to see the real importance of women fully showing up in the world. Our coming forth and claiming out true gifts and voice at this time on the planet is not just for our personal benefit, we must do so to turn the world around from the dangerous path that we are now traveling on.
I took this strong revelation as a sign to look more deeply at just how the world is currently being led. As I looked around it became clearer and clearer to me that the feminine attributes, a few of which are: care, compassion, relationship building and the ability to naturally see and access the whole situation in family or business-- are attributes that are currently omitted from the way in which wars are decided and in the way that the world is led. This realization has opened my eyes to see how important it is for us to fully show up in the world of business, a family and politics. The feminine attributes are the missing piece to the puzzle. They are the piece that will allow us to carefully access war, to make sure that all have their basic needs met and to see the whole as it applies to public policy, human rights and the care of the earth. It is now time for women to build confidence and voice and to step into the world and to make a major contribution. The time is now!!!
