By investing in mentorship, we can accelerate progress toward more confident and inclusive futures for girls and young women. 👏✨ Être Girls is a mentorship ecosystem on a mission to close the confidence gap by connecting girls with global female leaders. Following Être Girls’ recent survey launch measuring the current state of girls’ confidence and the direct link shown between early mentorship and higher confidence, Nasdaq’s Kristina Ayanian sat down with Illana Raia and the Être Girls to discuss the power of mentorship and how we can work together to empower girls and young women to achieve their goals.

Happy Women’s Day to the incredible women of South Africa! Today, we take a moment to celebrate women in a category often overlooked—those who have shattered glass ceilings in education. Ten years ago, on July 10, 2024, I defended my doctoral dissertation titled BREAKING THE GLASS CEILING: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY OF WOMEN LEADERS IN ADVENTIST HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS. One of the greatest challenges I faced was the lack of archival information on the women who served as presidents of Adventist Higher Education Institutions—a gap that still exists today. In 2013-2014, after identifying a few participants, I used snowball sampling (Atkinson & Flint, 2004; Babbie, 2001; Creswell, 2005; Patten, 2007; Patton, 1990; 2002) to reach other women who fit the criteria. This technique, as Patten (2007) notes, is invaluable when trying to locate participants who are hard to find (p. 51). Today, let’s honor these trailblazing women who have paved the way for future generations. Their stories remind us of the importance of documenting and celebrating the contributions of women in leadership.

Explore the inspiring journey of female superintendents who formed deep connections and lifelong friendships amidst the challenges of the pandemic.

We are halfway through Women’s History Month. If you haven’t taken time to acknowledge the remarkable contributions of women throughout history, I encourage you to pause and do it now. March is a dedicated time to honor the trailblazers who have advanced society and changed the world. Understanding our shared history is key to creating a brighter future for everyone. Take The Lead Women’s recent article, “Celebrate Women’s History Month: Knowing Your History Is Key,” beautifully encapsulates the significance of this month. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing women’s diverse accomplishments, often overlooked in traditional narratives. https://lnkd.in/gaGapa2D

Act One: IGNITE WITHIN: MyJourney of Self-DiscoveryFrom the first spark of curiosity to the blazing flame of self-awareness, Act One was a transformative journey. Embracing my strengths, confronting my fears, and honing my vision, I ignited a fire within. This chapter has ended, but the embers of growth continue to burn brightly as I move forward, ready to inspire and uplift others with my newfound clarity and purpose.

I’m excited to serve as a panelist for this upcoming program hosted by the Chicago Chapter of the Coalition of Women's Initiatives in Law. I’d love to hear: what advice would you give to a new hire (attorney or non-attorney) on what to do once they’ve been hired? I’d love to hear your thoughts as I prepare for this discussion! #lawyer #newjob #lawyers #careerdevelopment #womeninlaw

Gender equality is going backwards. Between 2019 and 2022, nearly 40% of countries – home to more than 1 billion women and girls – stagnated or declined on gender equality. The SDG Gender Index, published today by Equal Measures 2030, a coalition of NGOs, found that no country has, so far, achieved the promise of gender equality envisioned by the UN’s 2030 sustainable development goals (SDGs) Thanks Annette Young for sharing.
