PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS®

When attending the PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS PROGRAM® training sponsored by the Institute for Economic Empowerment of Women, podcast host Nan McKay intended to record an episode with the organization’s founder and then return back to her regular schedule with the Trailblazers Impact podcast.

Instead she met so many inspiring women who had overcome life-shattering tragedy, she was compelled to tell their stories. The business women are connected with a mentor who equips them with leadership and entrepreneurial principles to excel in their home countries of Afghanistan and Rwanda. The program has trained over 755 business leaders, who are responsible for more than 16,000 employees.

This episode introduces listeners to the work of the IEEW and discusses how the PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS PROGRAM® is empowering women to be entrepreneurs and leaders in their fields.

Terry Neese is a prolific entrepreneur who is dedicated to mentoring women both locally and abroad in starting their own businesses and turning their ambitions into reality. As founder of the Institute for Economic Empowerment of Women (IEEW), her organization has grown a network of women business owners in Afghanistan and Rwanda who are provided with leadership skills and business strategies to reach their goals.

In this episode, Neese talks about her Oklahoma upbringing and what she learned about the value of hard work and honesty on her parents’ farm. Her passion and commitment to hard work led her to several successes, such as founding Neese Personnel in 1975, an Oklahoma City staffing agency. Her advocacy and philanthropic work in business led to a call from The White House, and the inspiration to create IEEW to help women in the developing world develop business strategies and advocate for policy change with local governments.

Neese shares why passion is at the heart of any successful entrepreneurial endeavor, and what it takes to create large-scale change for women in business.
