THE NEED

ATHENA International has identified the opportunity and the need.
  • More than 10,000 baby boomers are retiring every day.
  • More than 77% of organizations report that leadership is lacking.
  • 83% of businesses say it's important to develop leaders at all levels.
  • Less than 5% of companies have implemented leadership development across all levels.
  • 47% of companies predict there will be a shortage of leadership or executive-level skills in the future.


ATHENA International is creating a community of leaders that value and elevate everyone through their Leadership Programs.
 


THE ATHENA LEADERSHIP MODEL

ATHENA International’s Leadership Model is built on EIGHT PRINCIPLES:

  • Live Authentically: Be true to yourself; authenticity serves as the foundation of genuine leadership.

  • Learn Constantly: View knowledge as a superpower, keeping an active mindset of personal and professional growth.

  • Build Relationships: Foster strong, supportive bonds to connect, nurture, and empower people around you.

  • Foster Collaboration: Value the unique gifts each person brings, embracing an inclusive, global perspective that sparks innovation.

  • Act Courageously: Embrace boldness and fearlessness to inspire and drive meaningful change.

  • Advocate Fiercely: Stand firmly for your values and champion positive, equitable change.

  • Give Back: Treat leadership as a responsibility to uplift others and leave a lasting impact.

  • Celebrate: Recognize and acknowledge achievements, both large and small, to sustain motivation.


These trusted principles symbolize the transformative leadership needed in the world, especially in times of uncertainty and upheaval. You will stand stronger as a leader for yourself, those around you, and beyond

The Being ATHENA Lreadership Program is a holistic experience that explores all of what makes you unique, valuable and impactful as a leader. It is not just another "one-size-fits-all" leadership template – it's a personalized, transformational growth experience that allows you to find and embody your own authentic leadership style.
