WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP: The Power of Grace: Leading While Female

There’s a quiet strength in leading as a woman, especially when no one expects you to lead. I learned that early in life, growing up in Albania during a time when women’s voices were meant to be soft, agreeable, and above all, silent in leadership spaces. But my mother, a schoolteacher with the kind of dignity that doesn’t demand attention but commands respect, showed me what leadership looked like: integrity, resilience, and grace in action.
