EXPO 2031 MINNESOTA, USA
What Thrives, Leads
A national narrative initiative reframing leadership by focusing on conditions where women thrive across life stages, not conformity to workplace norms.
What Thrives, Leads addresses how organizations reward only traditional leadership patterns while losing talent at every transition. Through storytelling, applied learning labs, and research, the initiative helps employers redesign evaluation systems to recognize leadership emerging across caregiving, health changes, and nontraditional paths. The work culminates at Expo 2031 Women's Pavilion where themes of cultivation, growth conditions, and thriving ecosystems meet workforce transformation, producing replicable tools for narrative-driven workplace change.
