Take The Lead’s 50 Women Can Change the World program provides women with the intention and skills to step into greater leadership roles and embrace their power to lead change in the culture of their professions.

Women will reach parity in leadership through culture shift and equipped, intentional leaders. That’s how we reduce harassment, bullying, and improve communication and cooperation--by sharing power TO instead of using power OVER others.

"One of the most important and powerful things I learned was to connect with my own story and how to use that as fuel to elevate my own power."

- Alicia Ontiveros, Writer/Director

“Before this program, I would not have submitted my application for the Executive Director position and I most certainly would not have negotiated a higher salary, including an agreement to more earnings as I gain more responsibility and funding.”

Unlike any other leadership program

Our research-based core curriculum was developed by co-founder and president of Take The Lead, Gloria Feldt and based on her bestselling book No Excuses: 9 Ways Women Can Change How We Think About Power and her "9 Leadership Power Tools to Advance Your Career."

Our approach is to teach women how to lead themselves, their careers, and their organizations and systems changes in a holistic way. It is the only program designed to meet the unique opportunities – and challenges – women experience in their industries.

To prepare women in each industry or sector, this program complements in-person training with inspiring speakers, networking events, virtual training, coaching, and facilitation of the development and planning for a collaborative action plan – designed by each cohort – to propel women to greater heights and to truly change the world.

 Our comprehensive four-pillar approach cracks the code and provides the breakthrough women need


Teaches practical “Power Tool” skills


Connects with mentoring, coaching, and cohort building

Presents role models

Drives change with thought leadership

Changing the narrative

We change the focus from obsession with problems to shining a laser beam on the solutions—what is working to advance women toward parity, including internal and external thought leadership.

Unique curriculum

Our program directly addresses women’s relationship with power and intention, internal and external barriers, and changes the paradigm from the outdated “power over” to a more current, collaborative and creative “power TO”—an approach better suited to the very women’s leadership styles that bring higher profits. 

It’s like rocket fuel for the soul, and we see women lift off with confidence, joy, and authenticity. You’ll know yourself better at the end and you will find yourself leading more powerfully and intentionally. During the program, each woman creates her own Strategic Leadership Action Plan to put what she has learned into action.

Collaboration as a core value

This isn't about us, it is about you. Each 50 Women cohort collaborates on a group project and intentionally creates a powerful network to support one another’s success.

Stake in the ground

If you don’t measure it, it doesn’t happen. We keep tabs on crucial impacts. 90% of participants implement their Strategic Leadership Action Plans and claim higher levels of intentionality about their goals and their comfort with embracing their Power TO achieve them. We aim for nothing less than gender parity by 2025.
