One of my Davos CEOs and I were talking about how World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting 2017 overlaps with the US Presidential Inauguration this year, so I decided to prepare two videos in advance.
They relate to the economy, my prediction of President Trump (in my Thinkers50 video), and if you haven’t heard yet there will be a record breaking 21% women delegates at Davos 2017. Clearly The Davos CEO Pledge which I initiated is working (CEOs my goal is 30% women, so don’t worry you’ll be hearing from me next year). What Does Leadership Look Like to You? Many thanks to my CEOs and my viewers (now in 100 countries & counting). Watch the new videos here:
Sandra Rupp is an Executive Coach and Smart TV Anchor who was placed on THINKERS50 Radar list for world’s top business thinkers for her thought leadership on “The Yin & Yang of Leadership.” The FT Alphaville put her first Davos video of 2015 on Financial Times site with the headline “Introducing the priceless Sandra Rupp” & a Fast Company reporter tweeted “In awe of Davos Woman, Sandra Rupp.” In 2011 World Economic Forum placed her on the cover of The Davos Debates Video & she asked 15 CEOs & Leaders a Video Question on Innovation & Job Creation. Sandra has hit a hole in one, won a skeet tourney, has been to Daytona, helped get women into Augusta, stands 6 FT in her Jimmy Choos, and she aims to get 30% Women & herself to Davos by 2020. She stated in the Davos Debates 2011 that “investing in and empowering The Feminine Leadership Styles is the largest economic opportunity worldwide.” She has been recording videos ever since.

QUOTE “When you can’t make them see the light, make them feel the heat.” ~ Ronald Reagan
Leaders I want to share a Special Valentine Message this year. I would like to welcome Davos Men to the Largest Economic Opportunity Worldwide. Did you know that women are the largest consumer market and an increasing percentage of business purchasing? Did you know that just 7% of people worldwide have a college degree (about 30% of people in Western countries) but women currently make up 60% of college graduates in the US ? Did you know that just about 8% of people in Western countries have a post-graduate degree but that my MBA class was 40% Women two decades ago? Unfortunately 90% of the Angel Investor & VC Money is still going to men! Yet women in their 40s and 50s are starting more new companies than any other demographic sector but many have to use a personal credit card (with high interest rates) to start one. Banks: how are you doing on Small Business Lending?…Companies: Why are we stuck at just 16% Women Board Members for the last ten years in countries without a Quota? What does Leadership Look Like to YOU?…Meantime only 3% of Creative Heads at the major Ad Agencies are Women??…Looking at many of the Super Bowl Ads, the gentlemen need some help! (Calgon, take me away… :-))
DAVOS CEOs IN EVERY INDUSTRY: You NEED 30%+ WOMEN on your Boards & Executive Teams today following McKinsey’s research that 30%+ Women on your teams is good for business. Otherwise you are not investing in the largest economic opportunity worldwide. Executive women don’t need Sponsorship which to me is an outdated patriarchical word; they need to be appointed to your Leadership Team & recognized as the strong FEMININE LEADERS THEY ALREADY ARE. Can’t find them in your company? I can. I was a Global Executive Search Consultant for many years. Angel Investors: if you are not investing in Women & Minorities, you are missing out on a huge portion of leaders needed to reboot the Western & global economies. And WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM with your support & the help of Davos Men like @DTapscott, @Bill_George, @Paul1Polman @BillGates @MartinSorrell @Wunderman29 @RichardBranson @MichaelDell @Nouriel and others, I WILL GET 30% WOMEN AT DAVOS including 2 delegates for strategic partners….because leadership now comes in a lot of different forms & fashions: indeed LEADERSHIP CAN LOOK LIKE THIS> And once I get DAVOS MEN TO UNDERSTAND THIS, we will GET THIS ECONOMY ROLLING AGAIN because Yin + Yang = 21st Century Success. STAY TUNED.

FAVORITE QUOTE: “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” ~ STEVE JOBS
I am so touched by all your notes & votes for THINKERS 50 – many thanks. I shared a short video on YouTube recently with photographs of a visit to the Thomas Edison/Henry Ford Homes/Museum in Florida. What an inspiring day! Edison created 14 companies, including one of the world’s largest, from a small home office. On that note, I feel we are at a similar time in history where much innovation will be needed. 
Interestingly, Henry Ford created jobs & customers at the same time by paying his employees a nice amount of money to afford a new Ford car. How will we identify the new Thomas Edisons, Steve Jobs & Henrietta Fords?…I believe we must create a Modern Day Renaissance” with a best investment of Human Capital & a new “currency” (in addition to our current currencies)~ Kindness. I will be sharing a lot more on The Yin & Yang of Leadership in the coming days. STAY TUNED. Best wishes from Sandra Rupp. Contact: www.parthenonadvisors.com
