MOMS LEAD CHANGE
the key narrative for future business evolution
It's time for sustainable growth before short-term results!
MOMs play a crucial role to shift the status quo
Research proofs
“Being a mother is not a bug or penalty in business but a key-feature for future leadership and business success.”
Eve Simon
Acceleration beyond technology is needed for sustainable growth - mothers have this ingrained in their DNA.
based on the Bright Horizons Modern Family Index report
As compared with working fathers or employees without children, mothers are described as better listeners.
Caring, kind, conscious, dedicated, empathic, patient ... all characteristics urgently needed in business
Instead of just managing, mothers lead by caring for the people around them, next generations and future ecosystems.
agree that working moms in leadership roles bring out the best in employees.
84% believe that having working moms in leadership roles will make a business more successful.
Mother nature or mother ship? That's where it all starts. Let's bring this back into crucial conversations.
Servant -, Collaborative -, Autonomous -, Compassionate -, Positive -, Conscious -, Agile Leadership ... all attributes mothers are leading by.
Do you need more research and experiences showing why hiring mothers into leadership roles is crucial for future success?
Our Vision
Business as a force for creating value for society - with more mothers at the helm.
We believe, the purpose of business is creating value for people and the planet, holding the space for everyone to shine and bring their talents to the greater whole, to collaborate and co-create solutions which tackle the biggest challenges of our times.
We as a society accomplished a lot. Now we reached a time where 'care'ship' comes before 'leadership' - holding the space and vision for future generations before our present benefits.

​
I am thrilled to e-meet you here. As a business transformer I work in many environments and set-ups from large corporations to start-ups. I meet amazing people who are brilliant and driven. Working mostly with leaders and executives I observed continuously a crucial gap: (active) Moms are missing at 'the decision table'. And that is fatal for business success, development of future products (just saying ... watch out ChatGTP), the well-being at work and the talent gap we are facing. We see luckily more and more women in professional roles - even leadership roles, but almost NO MOMS. I was very curious about to learn why that is, the impact it has on business and society and what we need to change to fill this gap, so we have all voices at all times within the ecosystem of a company and society.
​
I started this journey of exploration and questioning the status quo in 2021. And here I love to share all my insights and these of many working moms around the globe with you - to inspire moms, decision makers in HR & Inclusion and of course dads. At the end it's a systemic shift which will benefit all of us long-term when we see more moms in leadership roles.
A GAP CAN ONLY BE CLOSED WITH A SYSTEMIC PERSPECTIVE
Culture Change
Diversity is key! We all know we need all voices at the table. To achieve that, we need female role-models, co-creators at home and ambassadors in business who speak up. Only together, in conversation and with a new consciousness of knowing the three fundamental needs of human kind we will change the status quo.
System Change
'Culture eats strategy for breakfast' - we have heard that before. But to change culture new compliance, rules and methods are evenly important. Working from home, 4-day week, shared paternity leave, job sharing are just a few principles which should be today a no-brainier to attract the best talents.
Individual Change
When we want to change the status quo we have to get into the game and can not complain from the side-line. Change begins with us. A radiant mom is an amazing accelerator for sustainability, innovation, progress and well-being. Your voice and wisdom is tremendously needed - now and for future generations .

Being a mom often pulls us in a million directions. To stay focused and energized you have to know your Inner Compass - your True North, your Purpose, your Strength and Values as well as your Vision. We designed a program just for you to overcome barriers and continue accelerating from within - instead of being driven from outer circumstances.

We also believe there is not one answer but many. We want to share with you all the insights we found during Eve's research, but also inspire you to speak up - as a mother, dad or as a representative in media & corporate. When we voice the imbalance and challenges, we create unity and not separation - we find new solutions and we ignite change (not just fill the talent gap).

Agile & Regenerative Leadership
Who is best equipped for leading the way?
It's time to change the way we create the Future. With a mothering mindset, foresight thinking and care'ship we are able to shift the conversation and create the best solutions for next generations
Mothers rock the boat every day - let's make it visible and impactful beyond the old paradigm - in our mothering way in business.
On the horizon
Time to GIVE
Not everyone is as privileged to choose to work, instead having to provide for a whole family and sometimes even a village. As it takes a village to raise a child, we are eager to support these moms and parents by giving regularly.
Unicorns show up in different ways, not just in Silicon Valley.
We love KiVA.org, an organization supporting female solo'preneurs with microloans in under privileged areas of the world.

Community
This FALL
We will launch our community offer providing each week inspirational videos from moms who already live a balanced life, with micro lessons to accelerate your career and learn tricks for self-care, to connect and network with amazing moms who are vulnerable, messy and just super cool just like you and me and many moms who pave the path for future generations.
Raise the bar
We are still following an old paradigm, created on a model of the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century. To move towards a sustainable future, we have to shift our thinking and actions towards an integrative approach which leads by love instead of power, cares more than it manage, places curiosity before knowledge and is built for future generations.
Lift up your Change Agents:
Mothers are exceptional igniter for change & impact.
And they are the secret success factor for your quest to fill the talent gap, ESG agenda & DEI goals.

You can have it all - sure. The barrier is our perspective, the support system we build on and the mindset of what we truly want. The Inner Compass program was a great way to find strength, focus and direction for the next chapter of my life and leadership engagement. With the highlight of connecting with mothers from around the world. Truly inspiring.

Motherhood is a boot-camp in agile mindset and behavior. So many parallels showcase how well equipped moms are for leading in the NEW WORK style and context. Collaborative, agile and conscious. I wish more moms could get the chance to step up and bring their full self to the table of decision making - just like the ones presented in the Summit.
Cristina Constantin, Microsoft
To see again how much we have in common and how unique we still are was a key insight for me in joining the Moms Who Lead program and support the storytelling journey initiative.We can learn so much from each-other and become stronger as moms and leaders when we connect to others and our own Inner North.
