Why Leap into Life?
On a global scale the challenges we
face today cannot sufficiently be
resolved with solutions that worked
in the past
On national, local and
community/company level is a
growing need for healthy
development of the (working)
community
Individuals standing up to take action
in their local setting , (company-
community) need to connect and
exchange to increase capacity and
personal mastery

9. Women in Africa
In rural areas women hold a key

• Their informal role in the communities is
strong
• Women take action to feed and educate
the children in their community

Gender and culture in the Netherlands
Gender issues are NOT women’s issues
• What issues are addressed in society?
• What qualities are addressed in business?
• How do we manage our agenda?
• What level of understanding do we have?
• How do we act accordingly?
• Why is gender significant?

Appreciation of diversity and integration of opposites is key to build
resilience and to find alternative answers for the questions we hold
