Shift From To Do Toward To Be: Make Sure Your Actions Carry Purpose
Busy is just a four-letter word if it doesn’t carry a purpose for you.

Redeeming Hedy: How Women Can Lead in Technology and Why This Is the Moment to Shine
Issue 2878— March 17, 2026

Take The Lead prepares, develops, inspires, and propels all women of all diversities and intersectionalities to take their fair and equal share of leadership positions across all sectors. Learn more at www.taketheleadwomen.com.
