033 — Advancing Women’s Leadership Worldwide with Jerrie Ueberle
Today’s inspiring guest is Jerrie Ueberle, founder of the nonprofit World Academy for the Future of Women (WAFW), a bold and daring leadership program focused on developing young women for leadership roles that address and achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).
The program, housed on Sias University campus, has expanded from a one-year Academy for 100 women each year, to a second year Advanced Academy and a third and fourth year Academy in Action. In addition, a Men’s Academy for the Future of Women was begun to promote collaborative work that prepares men to understand and act on issues related to advancing and promoting women in society and the workplace.
Jerrie’s goal is to have women achieve gender equality, social justice, and human dignity worldwide. On today’s tremendous episode, Jerrie and Dr. Fred discuss:
What equality between men and women really means (hint: it’s not simply a 50/50 split)
Why wider representation of women leads to better decisions and outcomes for everyone
Common cultural barriers to women ‘stepping forward’ (and how WAFW overcomes them)
Progress on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
What achievement of UN SDGs would mean to the world
Practical ways that everyone can make an impact
Why believing something is possible is a prerequisite to achieving it
A powerful question to ask interested collaborators that can unlock incredible opportunities
How Jerrie started WAFW with no funding and no solid plan
Ways that listeners can get involved and support the work of the WAFW
