Queens of Innovation Crown Table | From Inner Power to Public Purpose — Leading Change from the Inside Out
Over the past few months, we’ve been testing out this sub-community, and your participation has confirmed what we already knew — the women of Goodie Nation deserve a dedicated space to connect, build, and be celebrated. Now, we’re ready to make it official.
This Month's Theme = From Inner Power to Public Purpose — Leading Change from the Inside Out
Queens of Innovation presents:
From Inner Power to Public Purpose — Leading Change from the Inside Out
Thursday, October 30, 2025 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EST
Description:
In a world where politics and leadership transitions dominate the headlines, women innovators are proving that true leadership doesn’t start at the podium — it starts within. This conversation explores how emotional intelligence, purpose, and self-mastery become the foundation for leading through uncertainty and shaping systems rooted in equity and impact.
Women continue to drive transformation across industries, yet remain underrepresented in positions of influence. According to the World Economic Forum (2024), women make up 46% of the global workforce but hold only 28% of leadership roles in innovation and technology sectors. Meanwhile, Boston Consulting Group reports that women-led startups deliver 35% higher ROI and are twice as likely to prioritize social impact. When women lead civic and policy efforts, UN Foundation research shows that peace agreements and inclusion outcomes improve by 35%.
As we navigate a moment of global change, this session invites participants to reconnect with the personal power, emotional clarity, and intentional leadership practices that allow us to influence systems without losing ourselves in the process.
Core Question:
How does leading ourselves — with clarity, conviction, and compassion — empower us to lead systems toward lasting change?
Agenda (60 Minutes)
12:00 – 12:05 PM | Welcome & Grounding
Opening reflection and framing: “Leadership begins within.”
12:05 – 12:15 PM | Data & Insights: The State of Women’s Leadership
A quick snapshot of the latest global and national statistics on women’s leadership, innovation, and civic impact.
12:15 – 12:45 PM | Roundtable Discussion: Leading Change from the Inside Out
Guided prompts:
How does personal growth shape leadership in uncertain times?
What does “voting with your capital, creativity, and community” look like in practice?
How can emotional intelligence sustain leadership when systems feel unstable?
12:45 – 12:50 PM | Voices of Purpose
Reflections on aligning inner clarity with outward influence — from entrepreneurship to civic innovation.
12:50 – 1:00 PM | Collective Reflection & Commitments
Closing thought: “Before we change the world, we must first master the world within.”
Each participant shares one inner practice that fuels their purpose in leadership.
Why Now:
This season challenges us to redefine power, not as control — but as clarity, compassion, and consistency. As women shaping the future of innovation, our ability to influence systems begins with how we lead ourselves. This session is a call to align personal purpose with public impact and to lead change from the inside out.
