Dear Subscribers,
Women of Power, Women Who Lead Each year, this issue reminds me not just of the triumphs of women of power, but of the truth I’ve witnessed and experienced firsthand: women don’t simply rise into leadership—they reshape it. I've watched women walk into boardrooms not to mimic authority, but to transform it. Their rise to the C-Suite isn't a trend—it's a tectonic shift. They’ve shattered ceilings not with noise, but with presence, poise, and a ferocity grounded in empathy. They’ve brought vision where there was only tradition, collaboration where there was once command. What do I love most? Their style of leadership refuses to separate success from sustainability and ambition from authenticity. They nurture, they negotiate, they innovate—and they do it without apology. These women are not just occupying space at the top; they’re making space for others. They’re mentoring the next generation, dismantling the barriers they once faced, and building cultures that value inclusion, adaptability, and courage. This issue is our tribute—not just to titles earned, but to the transformative power wielded when women lead with their whole selves. Power, after all, isn’t just about position—it’s about impact. To every woman of power reading this: we see you, we honor you, and we walk beside you as you lead forward. — David James Dunworth Publisher, Influence-Magazine.Today
“She didn’t climb the ladder to blend in— she rose to build a new one. One wide enough for others to follow, and strong
enough to never crack under the weight of real power.” — David James Dunworth
PS - I have always loved working with and for women...They’re fascinating. Hard-working, empathetic, compassionate, and driven. So, here’s to you, dear ladies. This one’s for you. All of you. Brava! PPS - Whoever named them the Fairer Sex was right. They are much fairer than the rest of us. PPPS - I could not have chosen a more-deserving Powerful Woman to emblazon the cover of this prestigious issue. Page 9
