Take Note
swath of useful topics for both collegiate and alumnae members. “Attendees will leave leading authentically with more confidence and empathy and less imposter syndrome,” Tina explained. “They will have more tools at their disposal to communicate more intentionally and listen more effectively. All the while they will learn how to combat apathy and create a deeper more curious sisterhood community.” Both James and Tina are particularly passionate about encouraging women of all ages to assume leadership roles in organizations they’re involved in or want to be involved in. “Because [women’s] voices matter. Period,” Tina implored. “So many of us have been made to feel, in one room or another, that our voices don’t matter or that they don’t belong, and that is just not true. We have unique perspectives to share, powerful stories to tell and voices that are worthy of being heard. We should find and use our voices because these companies and non-profits are bettered by women taking on leadership. Research has proven that to be true time and time again. But even more importantly, we should use our voices because they are just as worthy of being heard as everyone else’s.”

Alpha Phis will have a lot to gain from taking advantage of this program.
Reflect on what effective leadership means to you. What does this look like in action? What has it looked like in the past? How can it be improved?
“We hope that Alpha Phi seniors will trust their gut and know it's ok to make mistakes,” Tina said. “Continue to lean on your sisters who may just be other incredible women in your workplace and not actually Alpha Phis. And don't worry as much about your dream job; that's a lot of pressure. Just focus on your next job. Take what you can from it, and learn to advocate fiercely for yourself with every new transition.” Programs like Leadership Hand in Hand would not be possible without the generous support of the Alpha Phi Foundation donors, to whom we are thankful for making this possible.
