They say that you should write about what you know and love, and to me, there’s nothing more exciting than to understand how women can grow and embrace their power.

Last year at a workshop in Chicago I had the great pleasure of meeting the legendary Gloria Feldt, former CEO and President of Planned Parenthood and founder of Take The Lead, an organization that develops women to take equal share of leadership positions across all sectors by 2025. She introduced me to nine power tools effective leaders use to embrace their power, and I left inspired to start this project. Over the next couple of months, I will write short essays on each of these tools in an effort to inspire women, especially young millennial women to better understand #PowerTO, what it is, and why we should have it.
