Reinventing Leadership By Reclaiming the Feminine with Nina Simons


Listen Later

It is time for Mother Earth, women, children, water, and all the qualities of the Feminine to be held in esteem once again.

— Andrea Menard


Women's leadership roles are changing from the old patriarchal leadership paradigm to a more feminine-inflected style that focuses on a well-rounded, healthier approach to business and community. They show up in the world with integrity, creativity, and a willingness to collaborate and communicate. But even more importantly, Feminine leaders have emotional intelligence. They use their skills in emotional expression, communication and implementation to raise and diffuse any situation. Emotional intelligence quickly being recognized for its importance in the work place and the world we live in today
