Rx for Resilience: Feminine Qualities
Friday was International Day of Women where we celebrated women and the many contributions that they make to the world. Many feel that this is a very difficult time for women, especially in the war-torn countries of the world where women and children are struggling in the most challenging of situations. Also, many women in the United States feel that they have lost ground on many fronts, especially since COVID.
Many ancient cultures revered women. The Egyptians had Isis, the Greeks Aphrodite, and the Hindus, Shakti. Civilizations like the Mayans, Incas, and Aztecs, each had their own way of honoring the “divine feminine” in ceremonies, rituals, and daily life. In Native American cultures, the woman as life-bearer plays a huge role in the home, family, and community connecting all through the ancestral ages.
No matter how you identify, the world needs women who can be strong for themselves and each other and men who appreciate, support and value impactful, effective women. We can’t empower women and disempower men. But we can hold some men who are not yet allies to a higher standard of advocacy and specifics - for equal pay, equal job access, and contribution and involvement for all voices at the highest levels of leadership, as well as respect, involvement, and acknowledgment for the many roles and responsibilities so many women uphold. We need this in our homes, our neighborhoods, the sports field, in business, industry, and in the movies we watch, the ads we see, and the officials we elect to office at all levels of government.
Qualities that are traditionally associated with women can benefit both men and women just as some of the qualities most commonly associated with men can empower and embolden women with their voice, their input, and their confidence even if they lack experience for the roles that they most want to play. Women can learn from men and some of the most brave women can learn how to improvise, be fearless, and ask for what they want. There are ways to do this that are positive, respectful and beneficial to all.
What can men learn from women? Men can learn from women how to lead with heart-centered purpose that inspires and uplifts others. Men can learn to nurture others and to listen to their intuition- the deep judgment and knowing that is innate within us all. Men can learn to empower and inspire so that those around them can surmount the greatest odds. Men can learn to nurture as strong and present parents, providers and community leaders. Men can learn the most effective collaborative techniques that bring opponents, nations and regions together around common ground and a just future. Today, and every day, let’s learn the best aspects of what we all bring on the spectrum of humanity, addressing our weaknesses and maximizing our strengths to lead our best life and to create a world where we can rise above age-old challenges with new abilities, purpose, and faith for all to thrive.

Join us June 17-19 for 250+ Speakers on 90+ Topics From Education to Health to STEAM to Policy at GlobaMindED’s10th Anniversary
Powerful Voices Across Generations: Past, Present, Future
Denver June 17-19
The 10th annual conference in Denver will gather national thought leaders across sectors including education, business, health, policy, tech, and more. If you have never been to a GlobalMindED event, you will be in for a treat, as this year will be a reunion for many of our graduates, speakers, and Inclusive Leader Award winners who have been honored throughout the years.
The Inclusive Leader Awards, June 17, honors national leaders across 15 sectors. These generous leaders will be meeting faculty and students as they share their insights in breakout sessions during the conference. See the invitation below.
GlobalMindED is a unique experience where college and company presidents, government leaders and foundations and funders are “at the table” with students and graduates. Our attendees recognize that the voice and participation of our emerging, young leaders is the solution to climate, political divides and persistent inequities in education, employment and economic mobility. We are all the solution if we are all “at the table” as co-creaters of a future that works for all people from all backgrounds.
