In\u00a02010<\/strong>, Dr. Rita was invited to\u00a0Dubai<\/strong>\u00a0to work with\u00a0women<\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a05 different continents<\/strong>\u00a0and present\u00a0her transformational\u00a0leadership teachings<\/strong>. \u00a0She was especially moved, in experiencing how women\u00a0from such\u00a0diverse cultures<\/strong>\u00a0can work together<\/strong>,\u00a0creatively contribute<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0find<\/strong>\u00a0the\u00a0common threads<\/strong>\u00a0amongst one another. \u00a0She\u00a0led\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0participated in<\/strong>\u00a0the creation<\/strong>\u00a0of a\u00a0model for\u00a0global partnership<\/strong>\u00a0and realized\u00a0women<\/strong>\u00a0have the\u00a0capacity<\/strong>\u00a0and the conscious heartfelt responsibility<\/strong>\u00a0to be on the\u00a0Leading Edge<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0of bringing\u00a0forth a new paradigm of leading, influence and affluence.<\/p>\n Dr. Rita\u00a0was also\u00a0touched<\/strong>, and\u00a0inspired<\/strong>\u00a0to be with\u00a0women<\/strong>\u00a0from the\u00a0Arab<\/strong>\u00a0countries who fight everyday for the rights we, as Western<\/strong>\u00a0women, take for granted. It completely\u00a0changed her life.<\/p>\n It was during her\u00a0time in\u00a0Dubai<\/strong>\u00a0that the seed for the\u00a0Women Thought Leader’s Global Summit<\/strong>\u00a0was planted.<\/p>\n 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 \u201cWoman of the Millennium\u201d; 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 <\/strong>and determined.<\/strong> 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<\/em><\/strong>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There is a global awakening occurring and women who are hearing and heeding the call to rise up, to step out, become more visible, develop themselves as thought leaders, expand their businesses and make a difference, are central to this awakening.<\/p>\n As a thought leader, you will have an opportunity to distinguish yourself and rise into higher levels of influence, affluence and difference making. You will be empowered to become a part of a new economic force reshaping the world.<\/p>\nInspirational Female Leaders<\/h2>\n
