The Resilient Leaders Program

Resilient Leaders Manifesto
We, resilient leaders, believe in creating an equitable and equal world where individuals who have traditionally been underrepresented in leadership can thrive, no matter the historical or systemic challenges. 

We stand for:

• Embracing change: We embrace change as an opportunity to grow, adapt, and evolve. We are not fearless yet; instead, we welcome fear and determine the wisest path in taking risks and embracing new ideas, even when uncertain or unpopular.

• Cultivating a growth mindset: We believe that setbacks and failures are not permanent and that everyone can grow into the highest version of themselves by learning from setbacks. We embrace a growth mindset, enabling us to enhance our skills and abilities continuously.

• Fostering collaboration: We believe collaboration is one of the keys to making the world more equitable. We celebrate each other’s unique talents and perspectives. We work collaboratively with others to create supportive and inclusive work environments where everyone is seen and heard without apology for who they are. We applaud unapologetic leadership characteristics. 

• Empowering others: We believe in empowering others to make decisions that positively impact their own lives and the lives of their communities. We seek opportunities for individuals to develop their skills, take on new challenges, and achieve their full potential unapologetically.

• Cultivating self-awareness: We believe in the power of self-awareness to inform our attitudes, habits, actions, and decisions. We reflect on our behaviors and work to understand our impact on others.

• Building resilience: We believe resilience in a changing world is essential to impact society positively. We take proactive steps to strengthen our resilience, such as engaging in regular self-care practices, seeking support from others, and maintaining awareness of our goals and values.

• Inspiring hope: We believe that hope is a powerful motivator and that we must encourage hope in each other. We communicate with fairness, positivity, and confidence and work to create a future full of promise and potential.

By embracing these values, we can create a world where individuals and organizations can thrive, no matter their challenges. We are committed to being resilient leaders who inspire, empower, and uplift those around us.
