Testimonials for Women Who Risk
"The Women Who Risk Leader Forums are a great example of Leading through Listening, which stand out as an empathetic innovation to traditional masculinist models of leadership with the power to open up new dimensions in creativity and sustainable productivity—to make more possible for women who lead and organizations committed to women leading."
"Young women will find tremendous benefit in these forums, which will help them gain momentum toward their goals. The Women’s Leadership Forums help women find the connections, build the confidence and exhibit the courage they need to successfully navigate their personal and professional lives."
“It was a really important thing that should be happening more. It was really interesting to see the differences that came up and to know there are other spaces and are other places where dysfunction doesn't exist or it's possible for it not to exist.”
“One of the issues around women and leadership is that women don't always support other women. One solution is experiences like the Women Who Risk Leadership Forums that focus on empowering other women and deal with specific challenges they are facing.”
"I've already referred two women."
"If it never went anywhere else: the benefit is meeting these women whom I might never had the opportunity to meet, perspective sharing and really got me thinking — the benefit is huge."
