Are you weary of the painfully slow progress towards gender parity in leadership? Predictions say it could take 70-150 years, but at Take The Lead, we challenge this timeline. Our goal? Achieve it in just three years. With our innovative leadership development programs, like "50 Women Can Change the World," we are not just dreaming of change – we are forging it. Our focus isn't limited to just any sector; we are breaking barriers in the most challenging fields. Imagine a world enriched by diverse women leaders. It's not just possible – it's within our grasp, with your support. 90% of women in the cohorts say they have increased their belief in their own power.

It's staggering to think that women can lose $500,000 to $1,200,000 over their lifetimes due to pay disparities. Take The Lead tackles this injustice head-on. We advocate for policies that dismantle structural biases and provide women with the skills and mindset they need to claim their worth. Our "9 Leadership Power Tools" aren't just strategies; they're catalysts for women to negotiate their full value. Together, we can close this gap and honor the true worth of women’s contributions, adding to family prosperity and economic growth.

The disparities facing women of color are especially pronounced, and we must address them with the urgency they deserve. Our Culture of Inclusion approach integrates Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Justice (DEIBJ) at its core. We are committed to accelerating parity for ALL women, recognizing that our collective strength is in our diversity.
Thank you for being a beacon of change and hope.
