Take a Leap!

Just came across this site: LEAP! The business community for female leaders!

LEAPwomen.com, the online and offline business community for Dutch female professionals, combines the power of talented women, progressive organisations and other stakeholders on their way to new leadership.

As it is bound to happen, I click around a bit to check what exactly they are up to. And I found this unfortunate photo opportunity:

So, let me get this straight. You are an organization to promote women leadership and three out of your five featured speakers are guys? Right. Because we learn leadership from teh menz, obviously.

(Also of note: a sea of White faces, because patriarchal leadership is White, damnit!).


For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
