As we celebrate International Women’s Day today, Dr. Laura Vogel-Schwartz encourages women to say yes to more leadership opportunities, even if they weren’t in your original plan. “You might do things you didn’t see yourself doing. And I think that’s actually important to remember as a woman, because we don't always do those things. It's important to be in those roles.” #InternationalWomensDay #WomensHistoryMonth #ExpectTheBest #EmergencyMedicine

Module 6 of Boundless Leaders Fellowship, held on the 8th and 9th of June 2024, featured five facilitators covering five different topics. The first session, led by Ayodele Ataba, focused on HEFORSHE: Advocacy for the Male Child. It was emphasized that both males and females have equal rights. We need to balance advocacy, protect them, and ensure honesty while raising the young ones. The second session, facilitated by Folashade Aransiola, addressed Domestic Violence and Intimate Partner Violence Advocacy. She highlighted that violence can affect any gender and come in various forms. I learned to recognize the signs of abuse. She advised increasing community awareness, educating the public, supporting survivors, and holding perpetrators accountable. John Affaidzi Appiah led the third session on understanding and navigating fear as young leaders. I learned that fear is a normal response to uncertainty. To navigate fear, we should enhance vulnerability, develop a learning mindset, approach decision-making with boldness, inspire followers through effective communication, and take feedback from those we lead. The fourth session, facilitated by Bashirat Abdulganiyu Abdulganiyyu, focused on the health implications and complications of GBV. She shared insightful experiences from patients in various health departments. GBV can have physical and mental health implications, leading to long-term complications like chronic diseases and reproductive health issues. Solutions include medical intervention and mental health support. The final session, led by Taibat Hussain, discussed Breaking Gender Biases. She covered different forms of biases, including prejudice, stereotypes, discrimination, and microaggressions. Ways to challenge gender bias include self-awareness, education and training, and challenging stereotypes. She concluded the session with the powerful message: "When you see something, say something." I am very thankful to Beyond Boundaries Network for arranging this fellowship. It has significantly expanded my knowledge, and I am already using my new skills to positive effect. I am truly appreciative of the growth this opportunity has enabled!

Read our new article: Celebrating Leadership by Highlighting Hidden Leaders of Society 🎉 Leadership knows no bounds – it's not about age or title, rather it is a universal skill.

Leadership insights from Toddlers A wonderfully refreshing NYTimes article reminding us how some of our most powerful lessons to promote well-being are tools that have lived within us since we were mere young children. I also put forth that these are great insights for those of us in leadership positions. To take great care of our teams we have to begin with ourselves. Sadly, as we journey through our lives and learn the ways of adults, we are inevitably subject to “unlearn” these healthy behaviors and have to consciously work at bringing them back in adulthood. My favorites: practicing positive self-talk (studies show must of us leaders rate ourselves less effective than our peers) and asking lots and lots of questions. Enjoy.
