What Does Leadership Look Like to You? Inspired by Athena, the helper of heroes & heroines and her former boss who created Entertainment Tonight, Executive/Anchor Sandra Rupp created The Five Questions to Davos CEO Series on Smart TV. The future of women rests on their heroic shoulders.
I have asked five key companies to add women to their Davos Delegate Teams for the DAVOS CEO CHALLENGE. I am now delivering results: I had previously filmed Five Questions to Sir Martin & Muhtar Kent. CEO @CocaCola is bringing two female delegates to Davos (a sure winner for 2016) and WPP is on board with a new female delegate (with Sir Martin and one other WPP delegate listed that’s actually 50% Women for WPP parent company: Impressive way to bring the % up but he is a Math Man). We also have 50% Female Chairs this year! CEO @Citi brought two women last year. We will be watching for the final number from Unilever CEO who is well known for The Sustainable Living Plan & his impressive work on UN Global Goals. QUOTE: “Our brands are 80% there to serve women.” CEO Paul Polman
The shocking news is the current estimate for overall percentage of Davos Women is only 18%. We really need the 5 Davos Challenge CEOs to be our heroes and work with me on this project. My concern is many women can’t sleep at night, because over 100 Million Western Women in all age groups and many more around the globe don’t have Jobs, Opportunities or Angel Investors. We are not leveraging the talent of some or our most educated Western Women! This is the REASON I am working diligently and creatively on getting 30% Women to Davos (40% of my top school MBA class was women many years ago). In one last #ThinkPink Athena-inspired shot at getting more Doves to Davos, here are 5 Questions for Unilever CEO. With gratitude, Sandra Rupp, Executive & Anchor www.parthenonadvisors.com
Advice to all CEOs: What Does Leadership Look Like to You? Please call it Gender Parity (positive energy) not the Gender Gap. Don’t expect women leaders to be like men (some like yoga & fashion more than sports. Yes I’ve hit a hole in one, won a skeet tourney & helped get Women into Augusta, but my main interests are global business, digital media, and helping others). Hoping for a miracle in getting more CEOs to invite Women @Davos. I am happy to work on executive coaching & media projects for your companies or organizations.
Sandra Rupp previously achieved the Managing Director corner office in Global Executive Search, has a Kellogg MBA, studied at Oxford. She was placed on the THINKERS50 Guru Radar list for the world’s Top Business Thinkers for “The Yin & Yang of Leadership” and stated in the Davos Debates in 2011 that “Investing in & Empowering The Feminine Leadership Style is the largest economic opportunity worldwide.” She is rebranding the look & feel of leadership.

“As the winds blow cold in Davos, Davos Woman is ready to roll” with Executive & Anchor Sandra Rupp cc @WEF @FT @WSJ @McKinsey
LEADERS, I am excited to share a brand New Davos Woman Challenge 2016 with my Favorite Davos CEOs. I am asking them to “Trade Places” for one day with a CEO Female Founder age 45+ with a Top School MBA & interview with me on camera. Yes I plan to choose a seasoned Harvard MBA Alum for WPP CEO Sir Martin Sorrell! I want to choose myself for Unilever CEO Paul Polman as I have the marketing Kellogg MBA and know a lot about his amazing Sustainable Living Plan. We will find a super creative Stanford MBA Alum for Virgin CEO Sir Richard Branson, and we need a charismatic Cass B-School Alum for Coca Cola CEO Muhtar Kent. I have a smart Wharton finance Alum for Citi CEO Michael Corbat; after all he won The Davos Woman Challenge last year by bringing two female delegates to World Economic Forum. Davos CEOs are all cordially invited to interview with me on camera, sponsor the process & even make the final edits. With so many talented baby boomer ladies available with a mix of Corporate & CEO Founder experience, I figure my Davos CEOs will be extending offers to join their CEO Teams after just one day. And then we will have more female delegates for Davos! OUR GOAL: 30% Women. Watch the EXCLUSIVE INVITE VIDEO here:

Why I Need CEO PAUL POLMAN & IMRAN KHAN to Help Get More DOVES to Davos
Posted on: November 20, 2015
UNILEVER CEO Paul Polman is one of the world’s most admired CEOs for his leadership on Sustainability. IMRAN KHAN of Pakistan is one of the most influential people in the world per Time Magazine and the Asia Society. Executive & Anchor Sandra Rupp was placed on the THINKER50 Guru Radar List for the world’s top business thinkers & aims to interview both of them on camera. Here she explains why she has chosen two of her favorite Davos Men to help her get more Doves to Davos.
In terms of your Leadership style, are you a Hawk or a Dove? Did you know that it is the Highly Sensitive of any species that are the key to survival? Do you have the gene for High Sensitivity or High Sensation Seeking? Some of the most dynamic CEOs and Leaders in the world I have met have both genes, because they know how to take risks but also manage risk. Click here to take both Tests. Read this post by Dr. Elaine Aron at www.hsperson.com to learn more. I am a Highly Sensitive Leader (a Dove), and I believe we need more Doves at World Economic Forum to help tackle the most pressing issues of the decade including Income Inequality, the Gender Gap and Terrorism. I am inviting Paul Polman, Imran Khan & other leaders to help me.
Now with viewers in over 65 Countries, Sandra Rupp is inviting CEOs & Leaders to interview with her on camera either virtually or in person in a Smart TV Series “Five Questions to World Leaders.” Contact: www.parthenonadvisors.com and www.sandrarupp.com In 2011 she was placed on the cover of the Davos Debates Video by the World Economic Forum and asked CEOs & Leaders a video question on Innovation & Jobs. In 2015 the Financial Times Alphaville published her Davos Woman Video. She is a top Executive Coach & Anchor, MBA from Kellogg/Northwestern and studied International Business & Art at Oxford. She is asking Leaders to bring two female delegates to Davos. STAY TUNED

Conscious Capitalism
Today we discuss what two of my Favorite CEOs (Paul Polman and Donald Trump) have in common, and how I helped Unilever CEO @PaulPolman through the magic of Twitter & YouTube. Recently, a Viral Video with Sofia Ashraf hit social media questioning Unilever’s India division HUL. Sofia used to work for @Ogilvy India. The Kodaikanal Mercury issue happened in 2001, long before Paul joined Unilever, and in my view should have been solved by the prior CEO. But I saw this starting to brew on social media weeks ago and alerted @Unilever. They issued a Unilever Human Rights Report, but I knew I was going to have to get on YouTube and Twitter myself to help. After all, Unilever is the leader in Sustainability! Many thanks to @nityanandjraman who helped me and Paul sort out what happened in Kodai, India. For several days, Paul & I were the ones brave enough to tweet. I tweeted to @Bill_George, @DTapscott, @Pontifex, @FT & @TheTimes we all needed to help, because no one is going to hurt Paul Polman on my watch! He is one of my Favorite Davos CEOs. Dear @HUL_News you might want to follow my advice & take down your Pinned Tweet. Check out my video here. It turns out Paul & Donald have a few things in common, including being CEOs I’d like to work for! After my video and Paul’s tweets of reassurance to the people of Kodai, I have got nice notes from Kodai asking Paul and even me to come visit:

Beautiful OR Average? Why I want to work with Unilever CEO Paul Polman & Give DOVE a Creative Makeover
Posted on: April 15, 2015
UPDATE: Soon after this post, Unilever’s CEO @PaulPolman joined Twitter, modified his website & can now read Sandra’s Tweets He added another lady to his CEO Team.
“What message is new Dove Ad really sending to our daughters?” Telegraph
“Dove’s ‘Beautiful or Average’ Ad: does it do more harm than good?” ETonline
“Dove is Really Reaching with this New Stunt that Forces Women to Label Themselves ‘Average’ or ‘Beautiful'” Fast Company magazine (click to view)
BOTTOM LINE: I have talked openly about how much I admire Unilever’a Sustainable Living Plan. But when I am appointed to his CEO Team, I will have more choices for Dove doors: including Kind-Hearted, Feminine & Fearless. Dear Ad Age & Sir Martin: he needs a female Chief Creative for Dove. The one positive thing about the Ad was they took my advice & filmed women around the globe! Here’s my new video offering to work with Paul as Chief Creative Advisor on Dove & other brands. Click to View:
“Dove has Women Walk through Doors Labeled ‘Beautiful’ or ‘Average’….” Beauty Editor Arabelle Sicardi of BuzzFeed
“Dove’s New Choose Beautiful Ad Sparks Online Backlash.” Nicole Arce in Tech Times
ORIGINAL POST: Just imagine this scenario: a male CMO & male SVP of Brand, a male Chief Creative Officer, and even male Directors of an Ad Agency hatch a plan to have the Ad Team fly to five cities and film women walking into office buildings or malls for a female soap product. But first they plan to put up two huge signs: on top of Door #1 is a sign that says BEAUTIFUL. On top of Door #2 is the sign AVERAGE. And then they film the majority of the women walking through the AVERAGE Door! Wow you can’t even make this stuff up…I really need to help CEO Paul Polman promote the positive self-esteem in his Sustainable Living Plan. As some of you know, I helped him clean up the Axe Ads (see all Videos to CEO Unilever on YouTube), but now I’d like him to hire me to give Dove a Creative Makeover. As I pointed out in my prior Dove post, Beautiful is a man’s word (click to see more). But there’s more that Unilever’s CEO needs to know: the BuzzFeed Beauty Editor mysteriously had her critical Dove post temporarily deleted – and then restored when BuzzFeed’s Editor-in-Chief admits he blew it after a Slate article. So why did he temporarily delete the post? Last time I checked PR Firm Edelman had been contacted, but there was no comment – Richard & Sir Martin please give me a call. Because I suspect Paul will be siding with me – because top women Execs, Journalists & customers are worn out being told we have to think like men. Calgon take me away ~

QUOTE: One of the first things I learned in Business School is to go where the power is.” Sandra Rupp, Executive Coach & Media Presenter
LEADERS it is with great pleasure that I thank one of the key people who inspired my Davos Woman CEO Challenge: I had the good fortune to hear Warren Buffett speak at the Fortune Women’s Most Powerful Conference several year ago. He actually helped my father find a CEO job in the 1970s. I have admired Warren Buffett over many years not just for his business success, but also for his upbeat, positive personality. In my new video I reveal how he inspired me and how Silicon Valley CEOs, @FTAlphaville and @WSJ are helping too. As many of you know I am now inviting all CEOs to appoint 30%+ women to their CEO Teams, bring two ladies to Davos & interview with me on camera on the topic of Women & Leadership. Maybe then we can even get the legendary Warren Buffett to attend Davos! I also would love to work with WEF to create a New Category for more Women Age 45+ to attend World Economic Forum. Watch my NEW VIDEO & many thanks to all supporting me:

UDPATE: After Paul Polman read this post, he added another lady to his CEO Team & joined Twitter! STAY TUNED
“What I’m most excited about technology is that it gives women a voice.” @PaulPolman Unilever CEO (which owns Dove)
“Paul Polman is handsome & intelligent, but he needs more Women on his CEO ULE Team. #SpeakBeautiful” @ExecCareerCoach (update: he now has more)
Happy Women’s Day. While I know Unilever had good intentions, I am surprised they singled out women in their #SpeakBeautiful campaign (note: Dove has a men’s care line too). As soon as it hit Twitter I tweeted back to PR CEO Richard Edelman on Oscar’s Day “Please tell Paul…They can do better.” In this video I explain to CMO Keith Weed & Dove SVP Stephen Miles why I think it’s time to drop the word “Beauty” from the Dove campaign, revamp it with something fresh & positive, and even use this as an opportunity to hire more Women Executives. As some of you know Paul is one of my five favorite Davos CEOs, and I helped him clean up the Axe & Lynx Ads through my prior videos – I love Clean Cut and Axe Peace But Unilever needs my help again as I read these headlines:
“Dove’s #SpeakBeautiful campaign is the ugliest thing on the internet today.” Caitlin Dewey in Washington Post
“Is Dove’s #SpeakBeautiful Twitter Campaign an ‘Egregious Overstep’?” headline in Ad Age
My Question for Dove: By pointing out something negative about women are you really raising their self esteem? #SustLiving
“Our brands are 80% there to serve women.” CEO Unilever to Davos “The era of women is coming.”
Note to Paul: the era of women leaders is here! P&G has many Women on their CEO Team. I volunteer to be your Chief Creative Consultant & here’s my idea for Dove to lead the way across the Consumer Goods, Advertising & PR world to #PaintItPurple & be the hero. Watch:

Meantime a Fast Company Magazine reporter tweeted “In awe of Davos Woman, Sandra Rupp.” Today I want to share my 5 Questions to CEOs Series with Paul, you and two of my favorite CEOs. From Cannes Lions to World Economic Forum, these are power players in global business. If you want to make something happen, GO where the POWER is. Here I share how I first met WPP CEO Martin Sorrell & I ask our key question. I want to work with Sir Martin on two initiatives:

“Sandra Rupp is The Feminine Leader Voice.” In 2011 Sandra was placed on the Cover of the Davos Debates Video when she stated “Investing in & Empowering The Feminine Leadership Style is the largest economic opportunity worldwide.” Later that year she was placed on the THINKERS 50 Radar list for World’s Top Business Thinkers. She has been recording videos ever since with her background in Media Presenting, Executive Coaching & Leadership Advisory (MBA Kellogg, studied International Business & Art at Oxford). Sandra is inviting key CEOs to work with her to appoint 30% Women to their CEO Teams & bring two female delegates to World Economic Forum to show the other CEOs how it’s done. Meantime she is inviting all CEOs to interview with her on camera in Naples, FL.
My Goal: to get 30% Women and myself to Davos, and I think these two CEOs are most likely to help me, along with CEOs Paul Polman of Unilever, Michael Dell & Michael Corbat of Citi (we are all interconnected, watch for more videos during #WEF).
