Key Takeaways:

• Disruption is not about rebellion—it's a purposeful response to ineffective, inequitable systems.
• True transformation involves mindset and heartset shifts—not just adopting new tools.
• Every leader must ask "Why am I disrupting?," and make sure they're on the right stage with the right audience.
• Women often underestimate their power because they're conditioned to prove worth through service to others.
• Real progress comes from incremental steps, not overnight revolutions.
