Leadership Development for Women at its Best

The Red Shoe Movement Signature Event NYC delivered another outstanding leadership development for women evening where we tapped into women’s aspirations and motivations in order to help them unleash their inner red shoes!

It’s All About Unleashing Your Inner Red Shoe!

By the Red Shoe Movement team

These women are part of a unique leadership development program. Are you?

A Leadership Development for Women Program Like No Other

Over two hundred women and men came together ready to teach and learn during our RSM Circles, where animated discussions took place around topics such as: How to Elicit the Support of Men in Your Organization; Standing Out: Make Your Differences Count, and Understand Your Value and Claim Credit for Your Ideas.

RSM Signature Event lively participation

The leadership development for women program began with a brief introduction to the Red Shoe Movement by our founder, Mariela Dabbah, who inspired participants with her words:

“Tonight we ignite the fire, and tomorrow you take it to your workplace and share it with your colleagues. This is like the Olympic torch that is never put out.”

It was an evening filled with camaraderie, great wines from Argentina (thanks to our sponsor QW Wines), awesome food, and lots of red shoes and red ties. With a wonderful red carpet and a red-themed auditorium plus amazing views of midtown Manhattan, McGraw Hill Financial was the perfect venue for this supercharged leadership development for women event.

What was new at the RSM Signature Event?

We live-streamed this unique leadership development for women evening! Our social media team of Ambassadors led by Lizbeth Cardozo of Tiny Milkshake Media and Daniela Fleisman brought the event live to thousands who couldn’t join us in person. If you missed it, you can watch it here.

By popular demand, we also had longer RSM Circle sessions. And our Red Shoe Movement Principles Posters were a total hit!

Participants at the Third RSM Leadership Development program got a chance to be on the Siempre Mujer cover!

What was fabulous?

The Siempre Mujer booth where all participants had a chance to be photographed and featured on the cover of the magazine’s special Red Shoe Movement Edition!

What was everyone talking about?

Bia Figueiredo’s amazingly inspiring welcoming-video with which we opened the evening. And María Elena Salinas’ cute boots that she re-purchased after she tweatted us about them. These two videos set the powerful tone for this leadership development for women program that inspired all participants.

What did participants say about the leadership development program?

Here are some of the comments we collected via our anonymous survey:

“It was a great opportunity to meet interesting women across industries and levels of experience.”

“Great insight and leadership sharing!”

“The discussion topics focus on challenges that many people struggle with and hearing suggestions on how people in different industries approach the same challenge is very eye-opening. I always learn something new!”

“The event provided me with great takeaways, in a very personal and friendly atmosphere, to put in practice at home and in the workplace in a very effective and simple way.”

“RSM has given me what I have been searching for; a support group for career-driven women.”

What’s next?

Get ready for online events, social media contests, more career quizzes, the RSM Starter Kit and RSM on the Go. You’re asking for more ways to own the movement, and we are listening.
