The ATHENA Leadership Series at weVENTURE is a program that we are proud to bring back for a fifth year! Participants will learn about ATHENA’s Eight Principles of Enlightened Leadership which aim to motivate women to connect, share, and grow. Now, more than ever, the ATHENA Leadership Model helps women transform their leadership skills during the times of economic turmoil, a pandemic, and a worldwide movement for economic and racial justice. In this difficult time, leaders can reflect on the ATHENA principles to guide them: Live Authentically; Learn Constantly, Advocate Fiercely; Act Courageously; Foster Collaboration; Build Relationships; Give Back and Celebrate. This program aims to cultivate women while inspiring them to connect, share, and grow.
The goal of each session is to encourage women’s leadership through honoring, developing, and supporting. Sessions are led by a diverse group of successful women business leaders from along the Space Coast. Participants are encouraged to learn from these women as they volunteer their time by sharing their own stories and leadership lessons. The Women’s Leadership Enrichment Program aims to provide supplemental ongoing experimental learning and enrichment opportunities during and after participants in the ATHENA Leadership Series learn core curriculum competencies.
This leadership series is based on the eight ATHENA principals of enlightened leadership identified by ATHENA International Participants read and discuss the book, Becoming ATHENA by Martha Mertz.
