How Would You Leverage Your Power?
WHO WE ARE
"I founded How Women Lead to create the cultural change I want for you, me, our daughters, and all women leaders. My desire is to re-write the mean-girl narrative that a lot of us grew up with; I want to leave behind the mindset that women’s power is scarce or zero-sum. My own leadership is intensely positive and affirming, vastly ambitious, and collaborative."
- Julie Castro Abrams, Founder & CEO
Aimee Allison
"How Women Lead opened up possibilities for my own leadership and role by surrounding me with amazing supportive women who were full of yes."
