Manage episode 378798559 series 3330788
“We start thinking about leadership when we face bad leadership” quotes Arpen Ghahriyan as we navigate through the challenging times in Armenian from the lens of someone who’s 7 generations have been native to Armenia, and yet has to see her mother pack all her bags, and travel for three days to be under a safe roof.
In times that are dominated with hate, Arpen talks about the power of strength, community and vulnerability. How she still shows up for her students and hopes that the importance of courage, resilience, and the ability to review decisions is what will shape the lives of these children. And through their experiences, they will emerge as strong leaders, ready to face any obstacles and build a better tomorrow for Armenia and its people.
How to live through such adverse times, ways to show up for your people, and how to lead when others are looking up to you, are a few things we discover in this conversation.
The Women Emerging Community sends love and strength to everyone who needs it right now. In times like these we’re reminded of how powerful kindness and compassion is.
