Why We Must Act Now

THE TIME IS NOW
  • To leverage the untapped abilities of women and unleash one - half of the world’s economic potential
  • The complete potential of WOMEN LEADERSHIP has yet to be realized or capitalized on
  • Everyone BENEFITS from diversity of thought and a full range of leadership styles
IT TAKES A VILLAGE
  • Women must support other women and pull them up through the ranks to fight the gender gap and for equal pay
  • Men who wish to lead by example will partner with us in solidarity. Behind every successful woman, stands at least one man
  • Organizations will become catalysts by enlisting their senior leaders as Chief Change Agents to help their business and community around them

Who Will Join Us

CHIEF CHANGE AGENTS ARE...
  • Men and women in a position of authority, influence, or decision making
  • Thought and industry leaders who are ready to be CATALYSTS and have a desire to give back
  • Industry leaders, experts, and educators willing to share their RESOURCES and CONNECTIONS
PROTEGES ARE WOMEN WHO...
  • Have specific personal and/or professional goals
  • Want to make a career or life change
  • Are interested in starting a business or nonprofit
  • Seek guidance in achieving their goal(s)
ORGANIZATIONS ARE...
  • Aspiring to set an example that this is not a check box activity, they mean results
  • Dedicated to making work environments desirable for women to climb the ladder
  • Who understand the value of integrative leadership

What They Will Do

AS A CHIEF CHANGE AGENT, I WILL
  • Select a woman as my protégé from personal or professional contacts
  • Ensure my protégé has a specific goal, and work on a plan to ensure that goal is realized
  • Help Protégé to discover her potential
  • Motivate others in my community to be Chief Change Agents by setting an example of stewardship
  • Develop protégé to become a change agent herself
  • Open doors for opportunities to thrive
AS A PROTEGE, I WILL
  • Clearly articulate measurable goals to achieve within the next year
  • Accept leadership and guidance of my Chief Change Agent
  • Aspire to be a future leader
  • Stay committed to my goals and follow through on their success

How It Works

STEP BY STEP
  • Mobilize 101 “Chief Change Agents”- women and men thought and industry leaders - who are SUCCESSFUL in their own right and want to pay-it-forward
  • Engage each of the 101 Chief Change Agents to commit to mentor, ignite, and unshackle the leadership potential of his/her woman protégé
  • Enable Chief Change Agents with a wealth of online resources such as best practices, workshops, and seminars
  • Chief Change Agent identifies his or her Protégé and has initial conversation with her to set clear expectations
  • Launch the #101Women protégés into the work place and community with PURPOSE and VISION
