Global Women’s Leadership

Teresa Kay-Aba Kennedy and Cindy Pace at Met Life’s Global Women’s Initiative – May 21, 2015

On Thursday, May 21, 2015, I was honored to lead multiple empowerment segments for the third annual MetLife Global Women’s Leadership Forum in New York at the beautiful Conrad Hotel. The theme was “Power. Purpose. Impact.” I opened and closed the day, in addition to a midday charge – delivering what has become over the last 15 years my signature blend of motivation, breath and intentional movement.

All the women who participated were senior high potential leaders selected by their business or function as a Global Women’s Initiative (GWI) ambassador with the goal of strengthening women’s leadership at MetLife. It was an incredible, high-energy day! Much thanks to Cindy Pace – Assistant Vice President on Global Diversity & Inclusion – for inviting me.

Since its creation in 2013, the Global Women’s Initiative has:

Created 30 Women’s Business Networks and “Lean in Circles” involving more than 900 women

Established partnerships with external organizations that support the advancement of women, such as Catalyst and the Financial Women’s Association

Sent more than 130 mid-career women through the company’s “Developing Women’s Careers Experience”

Explored commercial opportunities through research such as “The Power of the Purse: Healthcare”
