Leadership Showcases
The Art of the Possible
We believe those who aspire must be inspired by the journey of others. Our Leadership Showcases shine a light on exemplary women leaders across nations, professions, and generations. The women we highlight in our awards programs—the International Hall of Fame, Ideas Remaking the World, and Women Who Make a Difference—lead change globally and show the world the “art of the possible.”
