Topic: Why Our World Desperately Needs More Wise Women in Top Leadership

When most CEOs of US-based global banks enforced rigid return-to-office mandates—undermining employee flexibility, productivity, and well-being—one leader stood apart: Jane Fraser, CEO of Citigroup. Instead of following the herd, she upheld Citi’s flexible hybrid work policy, recognizing flexibility as a strategic competitive advantage.

This is what happens when wise women reach the top—and when they use their name, power, and influence for the greater good, miracles unfold. If ever there was a time for powerful, visionary women to step up and lead with wisdom, it is now.

In this mentoring session, you will learn:
1. The hard facts—how women in leadership drive tangible, positive impact on teams and organizations.
2. The barriers in your way—unpacking the mindset, organizational, and systemic challenges that hold women back from top leadership.
3. Breaking free from bias—how to stop gendered labels from shaping leadership behaviors and carve your own path to the top.
4. Strategic alliances that matter—how to build powerful partnerships with both men and women to expand your influence.
5. Future-proofing your success—how to upskill fast and stay ahead in a rapidly changing world.

I look forward to your questions and to a transformative conversation.
