Our Story

The world needs Great Dames. Leaders who bring skills and passion to their personal, professional and public service lives. Leaders who are true change agents. Leaders who know how to harness the individual and collective power of women and the men who support them.
We believe there is a Great Dame in every woman. Our goal is to help strong and accomplished women activate their strengths through a pragmatic and integrated approach incorporating personal leadership branding, co-mentoring and public service. We call it “Great Dames Inspired Leadership,” a system that will directly change your life today and in the future.
We know “Great Dames Inspired Leadership” system works, and we know it is needed. We have talked to hundreds of individuals and organizations. We have been inspired by the stories of women who are making a difference in their families, communities and businesses. We understand the challenges faced by emerging leaders and women moving into new places in their lives.
We would like to invite you to join us on this journey to become an inspired leader. Find out how to articulate your strengths. Learn how to move upward in your career. Engage in actions that bring results. Discover how to transfer professional skills into public service. Join co-mentoring circles to help you achieve your goals.
We are kindred spirits with purpose. We welcome you.

Great Dames was started by women who are inspired by the amazing women in their lives.  For some of us, it has been our mothers and sisters.  For others, it has been friends and colleagues. All of us have been moved by the stories of women who are making a difference in their homes, communities and workplaces.

Our goal is to take this collective experience and wisdom and turn it into action. Specifically, we are creating a community with the tools and support needed by women leaders.

Great Dames is evolving. As our community grows, we are developing programs that women need to reach their potential. We are connecting with other organizations that share our passion.  We are reaching out to businesses and non-profits that are making a difference.

We would love to hear your thoughts about greatdameness and address ways we can help you and other leaders.
