The Story
Original Inspiration
In 2010, Dr. Rita was invited to Dubai to work with women from 5 different continents and present her transformational leadership teachings. She was especially moved, in experiencing how women from such diverse cultures can work together, creatively contribute and find the common threads amongst one another. She led and participated in the creation of a model for global partnership and realized women have the capacity and the conscious heartfelt responsibility to be on the Leading Edge of bringing forth a new paradigm of leading, influence and affluence.
Dr. Rita was also touched, and inspired to be with women from the Arab countries who fight everyday for the rights we, as Western women, take for granted. It completely changed her life.
It was during her time in Dubai that the seed for the Women Thought Leader’s Global Summit was planted.
Inspirational Female Leaders
Throughout history there have been extraordinary women who have brought about inspiring change because of who they were and the vision they had for themselves and the world. They had a purpose, a calling, and were connected to something meaningful that transcended the times and what was culturally defined as possible for women. Women like Indira Ghandi who was the only woman to hold office in India and was known as the “Woman of the Millennium”; Hildegard of Bingen, mystic, visionary, author and composer who is called one of the most important figures in the history of the middle ages; Eleanor of Acquataine, first Queen of France who influenced politics in Western Europe; Joan of Arc, the patron saint of France who led an army against the English; Catherine the Great, the greatest political leader of the 18th century; Eleanor Roosevelt, by using her intellect and influence, she redefined what it meant to be a female member of the upper echelons of society and ultimately expanded the role of women in society; Madeline Albright, an American politician and diplomat who was the first woman to become the US Secretary of State. Mother Teresa, a global icon of selfless service to others, and the list goes on. Each of these women were brave, innovative, courageous, passionate and determined. That was their time. This is now our time. The torch of light is passed on from generation to generation. We carry this torch with dedication and heart and it needs burn ever so much more brightly now.
Are you called to be a part of this Magnificent change?
