Develop Your Leadership DNA 

Are leaders born or are they made? This feels a lot like the age-old question, which came first, the chicken or the egg? Sure, many women have innate qualities that help them to thrive as leaders. But continuous growth as a professional, a person, a parent, a human being is an essential component of being a leader. Lucky for us there are so many super smart folks willing to share their wisdom with the world. But it isn’t enough to passively take it all in. You have to find what resonates with you and synthesize it into bite-sized ideas that can become part of your repertoire, your leadership DNA.


MNT2LEAD has curated some of the most topical TED Talks into a customizable MNT2LEARN Leadership Primer just for you.  These talks were handpicked to provide you with knowledge & guidance on some of the most frequently reported obstacles women face when trying to attain or maintain a leadership position: leadership skill/experience, gender bias and/or gendered workplaces, limited support, few mentors and role models, lack of confidence and work-life balance.  And just for fun, we added a few just to inspire you or make you laugh.


Select talks on the topics that you want to learn more about or that just make you curious. Set a goal to watch one talk a week, a month or whenever it works into your schedule. Find a friend and watch together. After each TED Talk, there are guided questions to help you reflect on yourself as a leader and identify your takeaways. Plus, each video is accompanied by additional resources so you can learn more at your leisure.
