Four Shields of Leadership: Retreat for Women with Susanna Maida, Ph.D, CPCC and Jackie Levin

As women, we are all yearning, each in our own way, to gather our unique gifts, passion, wisdom, and vision for what’s possible and offer them in service to the world with a desire to make a meaningful difference, be it in large or small arenas. Seeing leadership in this way turns it into an invitation to each of us to respond to the deeper longing in our soul and lead from the inspiration present there.  Especially in these times of uncertainty, complex global challenges, and tumultuous change, we are each being called to the role of leadership, whether it be through creating alternative possibilities for our organizations and communities, facilitating transformative processes that enhance our human connection, ushering new ideas and paradigms into the larger culture, responding to an unmet need in the world, or leading our own lives and that of our families in new directions.  This vision of leadership will settle for nothing less than you bringing your entire self to the journey – the physical wisdom of your embodied self, the mysterious depth inherent in your emotional terrain, the interconnected self of mind and community, and your ineffable spirit that connects you back to the wellspring of life itself.
