Andi Simon, CEO of Simon Associates Management Consultants (www.simonassociates.net), is teaming with other co-hosts to present “Rethinking Women’s Leadership in Business,” a global virtual event to be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET May 13.
The event is the fourth in Catalyzing the Future summits organized by Si Alhir, an entrepreneur, author and renowned transformation leader.
Simon will join Ahir and Edie Fraser, CEO of the nonprofit Women Business Collaborative, in welcoming participants to the four-hour event that will feature numerous break-out discussions on such topics as “Building the C-Suite Talent Pipeline” and “Creating Women Leaders Today for the Business of Tomorrow.”
“More and more, women today are challenging long-held beliefs about what they can and can’t do,” says Simon, who is a corporate anthropologist and author of Rethink: Smashing the Myths of Women in Business.
“They’re speaking up, stepping out, breaking through, and redefining what society has always told them was true about their capabilities.”
Simon had participated in Ahir’s programs before and sent him a copy of her book. Their conversations about the book’s title and topic led to Ahir’s idea to focus the May summit on the theme of women breaking barriers and hurdling over obstacles.
“This theme is very timely,” Simon says. “This movement is working to transform the place of women in our businesses, our society, our culture and our collective attitudes. What better focus for a collaboration centered around how women are rethinking our roles in business and leading the way forward.”
Some of the other breakout topics to be discussed at the summit include: “Making Diversity, Inclusion and Equity Happen,” “Women and Investing for the Future,” and “Women and STEM Success – It’s More than Coding.”
The summit is aimed at both women and men, as well as representatives of businesses and corporations of all sizes who will take back ideas to share within their organizations, amplifying the message and transforming women in business.
