In the wake of two pandemics that shook our world to its core and revealed deep fault lines in our culture, Gloria Feldt's newest book Intentioning shows how we can seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity created by massive disruption to build back stronger with women at the center of recovery. Through the lens of women’s stories, it delivers a fresh set of leadership tools, skills, and concepts that help all women reach their own highest intentions, purposefully creating new norms, while guiding institutions to break through the remaining barriers to gender and racial parity for everyone’s good.
Join Luminary as New York Times best-selling author Gloria Feldt speaks with Cate Luzio, Drew Dixon, and Nathalie Molina Niño about this latest book and the imperative for women to embrace their personal power to lead with intention, confidence, and joy. Following the book itself, this discussion will be about the future, taking the leadership lessons learned from this disruption and creating a better world for all through the power of intention. We'll see you there!
