Navigating Leadership
Dr. Ella Simmons shared priceless leadership lessons at our latest Virtual Mentor Series event. Simmons, who will be retiring as a general vice president for the Seventh-day Adventist Church at the upcoming General Conference Session, opened up to our audience about navigating leadership as a woman and how to chair boards.
More than 30 leaders from around the world, including Zimbabwe, Australia, California, Nebraska, Florida, Texas, Tennessee and Maryland, joined the virtual event (as pictured above).
Simmons advised the women to walk purposefully in whatever position God called them.
“Remember when you are called to chair an entity, it is NOT a token position, even if someone intended it to be,” she says. “You take it and do what God intended you to do.”
Simmons shared biblical encouragement and practical tips that many women commented they had never been offered before.
