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

The Davos Question this year is How Can We Drive Inclusive Economic Growth & Prosperity? (when 80% of the world currently lives on less than $10 a day). My answer includes a 7 Step Plan developed over many years working with leaders. My answer is a 1 minute summary of what I believe is the largest economic opportunity worldwide. Top answers will be shared with World Leaders in late January at the World Economic Forum meetings. I am finding my video answer resonates with both men and women.

Executive Career Coach Sandra Rupp answers the 2011 DAVOS QUESTION for The World Economic Forum: HOW CAN WE DRIVE INCLUSIVE GROWTH AND PROSPERITY? Watch her 1 minute summary video below.
We have a $70 trillion global economy but 80% of the world’s population live on less than $10 a day and 50% of the world’s population live on less than $2 a day. How can we close that gap & create NEW ECONOMIC GROWTH?
Sandra’s Answer: “Invest in & Empower The Feminine Leadership Style” includes a 7 Step Plan incorporating Boards, Banks, Venture Capital and Communities. Her vision and plan includes creating companies/products/services that improve the lives of many others. The Feminine Leadership Style is inclusive, creative and not necessarily gender specific. She calls it “the largest economic opportunity worldwide.” In partnership with the Masculine Leadership Style, it will help create inclusive economic growth & a better world. Yin + Yang = Success. Best wishes from Sandra Rupp.
