FAVORITE QUOTE: “Dreams are necessary to life.” ANAIS NIN
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.

Sandra Rupp is delighted to share her THINKERS 50 message for 2013 including highlights of the last two years: Did you know her Myers Briggs Type is a combination of Albert Einstein & Princess Diana?
LEADERS Many of you helped place me on the THINKERS50 GURU RADAR list for the world’s Top Business Thinkers in 2011. From Davos to Augusta to Cannes Lions to NACD and the Conference Board, I have spread the message of “The Yin & Yang of Leadership” ~ Feminine Leadership + Masculine Leadership = 21st Century Success. My videos have been Top Videos on Twitter & YouTube during these events thanks to many of you. I took this honor very seriously and for the last two years have worked diligently on Executive Coaching, Videos, Speaking & Social Media. WHY? Because status quo thinking about Women & Leadership (including books encouraging them to be more like men) is not working & will never work for the majority of women. That is why I have CHOSEN to take my thinking to VIDEOS & Multimedia. Indeed we must invest in women & men for who they are & embrace The Feminine Leadership Style in all its glory. My goal is to change the LOOK & FEEL of LEADERSHIP.
I believe that The Yin & Yang of Leadership is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT additions to Management Thinking in decades. Feminine Leadership + Masculine Leadership = 21st Century Success. I am honored that THINKERS 50 chose me for their Guru Radar list for the world’s top business thinkers from 2011-2013. I am so touched by all your notes & votes. Many thanks to fellow thinkers Don Tapscott, Bill George & Tom Peters for their support in the last two years! Yin + Yang.
With warm regards & gratitude from Sandra Rupp.

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.

Did you attend or watch the Davos World Economic Forum 2011 Meetings? I was very touched by the thought and commitment that the World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab, the organizers & participants put into these “debates.” Personally I like to think of them also as conversations, the feminine equivalent, but I am comfortable with a good debate if there are also next steps discussed to move forward.
I watched two sessions on the Economy and one on Unemployment, two very important topics. I have previously met a couple of the speakers. Watching the discussions reinforces my passion for sharing & implementing my 7 Step Vision/Coaching for what I call The Yin & Yang of Leadership & Investing in The Feminine Leadership Style, because I truly believe it is a large economic opportunity for all. More later from your Lady in Blue. In addition to being included in the Davos Debates 2011 Video of selected entrants (click to view my answer to The Davos Question on How Can We Create Inclusive Economic Growth), my Video Question: What are you doing specifically to Invest in Innovation & Job Creation? was also asked at Davos this year.

I am an Executive Career Coach. Inspiration for founding my company Parthenon Advisors came from Athena, the helper of heroes & heroines. Ancient Greece was the birthplace of democracy and a time of great innovations. My Answer to the Davos Question: “How Can We Drive Inclusive Economic Growth & Prosperity” has been chosen for the Davos Debates 2011 Video of Selected Finalists – the lady in blue placed on the cover. My Davos Debates answer (see below) is to “Invest in & Empower the Feminine Leadership Style, a 7 Step Plan” incorporating boards, banks, businesses, venture capital & local communities. My Vision/Plan has been developed with insights of 20 years coaching & placing global executives, innovators and leaders. Interestingly, I see this not only as a path to inclusive growth but also quite possibly the largest economic opportunity worldwide. I will share it now through Leadership Advisory, Speaking, Writing & Videos. I would like to also share that I feel we need to worry about (modern day) Greece, because right now, we are all potentially Greece. And if this economy is to grow, I believe it will be saved by all of us: the masculine & feminine, male and female, Yin & Yang make a wonderful team ~More later from Your Lady in Blue. I see a very important economic opportunity here. Many thanks to the World Economic Forum for the Davos Debates 2011. Best wishes from Sandra Rupp. MANY THANKS FOR ALL YOUR VOTES!
