Quotes from Participants -- Cultivating Women’s Leadership 2008
“It is a rare and powerful gift to witness and experience the deep interplay of inner and outer life related to leadership and particularly the unique callings and opportunities for women leaders in these times."
“One of the most worthwhile steps I have taken to becoming a leader in my own life, my community, my family, and my job.”
“I have been to many conferences, seminars, and workshops in my lifetime, and this retreat was the most valuable in that it really focused on women's leadership and what that should look like on a very personal basis, and how to get the best from others by being a good leader. I have already begun to use what I've learned to teach my students at the University to also be good leaders, and what good leadership looks like.”
“Both a personal and professional exploration that doesn't end at the closing circle. I continue to expand the insights gained, appreciate the input from my fellow participants, and savor the moments of deep connection.”
“I was inspired to rethink my own leadership and the wonderful changes I could make from my own small village to making a global difference.”
“Before the training, I must admit that I did not really get it, just how much the inner informed the outer, but now it is so undeniably abundantly clear, that I can hardly remember how I could have possibly thought any differently. I feel it in my bones, now, it is part of my way of being. How such profound transformation could happen in a week, I could never have imagined!”
“I learned the true meaning behind community: the coming together, sharing, dividing, respecting, validating, sustaining and power within groups. I will take this back with me to continue to weave our world together.”
“A truly transformative experience! I left with a greater understanding of my purpose and a sense of empowerment. I also left with skills and tools to help me navigate the obstacles that will likely surface as I follow my path.”
“I learned to listen to myself, and love myself…I am taking away coherence, focus, lightness of being, skills I need, and great optimism for my next stage.”
