Philanthropy is a fast growing industry with a culture that demonstrates and cultivates the Relational Leadership of women, engendering local, national and global communities with new models of leadership. Articulating what this leadership looks like, making attributes of perception, communication and practices visible and valued is essential for the full power of women’s contribution to be actualized throughout the entire spectrum of philanthropic work, from funding and advisory boards to intermediaries to NGO’s (non-profits) and their clients.
Women’s Leadership, Relational Leadership is fundamentally inclusive and transformational. This interactive workshop session will provide participants, women and men of all cultures, with an understanding of basic distinctions and skills that make differences work together. You will be able to build more fruitful and profound collaborations with all the people you work with. Demonstrating and framing the effectiveness of Relational Leadership in Philanthropy will have the added impact of opening up traditional institutions to new ways of leading and being effective—for the greater good.
