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.

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
