What an inspirational day at Paignton Zoo yesterday! I am genuinely humbled by the sheer energy, passion,vision, talent and creativity that the women who attended the WILD workshop had and this prompted me to communicate in this blog, what WILD is all about.
Women In Leadership Development (WILD) has been designed by three women: Diane Lowe, Tiffany Macedo-Dine and myself- three completely different women with different life and professional experiences but with a common vision to see women released from the things that hold them back in their personal and professional lives and into the freedom of their untapped potential.
In the words of Mary Wollancroft we are not in any way interested in women having power over men, but only in them having power over themselves. WILD was born as we began to dream about what it would be like if instead of holding back women began to hold out - hold out for what they knew they could achieve.
What do we mean by achievement? It could include promotion, or setting up in business, or running a marathon, creating an art exhibition, becoming an Internationally renown speaker, ..... whatever it is that creates passion and excitement and that somewhere inside we have a longing to do. It is about exercising choice about who we are and who we become and being the fullest and best expression of ourselves.
And that is what it means to really roar- put simply it is about being your best self and in our experience being your best self is a gift not only to yourself, but also to the rest of the world! So as we say on the programme why would you continue to PURR when you have the awesome capability to ROAR?
