The days of the brash, uber-confident leader are over. In 2021, leaders are embracing a new level of vulnerability and introspection as they think deeply about how their beliefs and actions reverberate throughout their organizations. Today, there is a mandate for leaders to empathize and engage with all stakeholders, especially underrepresented individuals like women, Black and Indigenous people and other people of color.

For women in leadership, this shift presents both opportunities and challenges. Join WE Communications’ Stephanie Marchesi, President, WE Global Health and others for a discussion entitled "Empathy Takes Courage: Women's Leadership in the Era of Vulnerability," which will draw from WE’s new study, Rethinking the Purpose and Meaning of Leadership, to explore how women leaders can tap into their contemplative skills to harness the power of empathy, vulnerability and collaboration.
