Ep 19: Girls Who Lead
Loading player...
Quote: “When women support each other, it’s just like magic. Something happens and everybody ends up just lifting each other up and becoming even more successful in the future.” - (Ashleigh DeSilva)
Women are simply not making the progress into management roles that one might expect. The most recent Gender Equality Snapshot, produced by the United Nations, noted that as of 2020 women held less than 1 in 3 management positions around the globe–a somewhat depressing 28% of women are leading others. What is holding them back?
This episode puts a spotlight on an international leadership program for girls in Australia that, for 25 years, has been committed to doing its part to improve that leadership pipeline, working to provide aspiring teen leaders with a leadership toolkit that will set them up for success in their school roles and well beyond. These young women come together in a transformational sisterhood to lean into their vulnerability and emerge with renewed confidence in wearing the mantle of leadership.
Join Host Trudy Hall as she learns about the program and its powerful outcomes from Loren Bridge, Executive Officer of Alliance of Girls Schools Australasia, and two former participants in the Student Leadership Conference, Ashleigh DeSilva and Eloise Hall, both of whom are now inspiring leaders in their own right. As you hear about the authenticity and confidence this program instills, think about where your daughter is getting this sort of inspiration to act on her leadership dream
