Dear {[C-FIRST NAME]}, Thank you for joining us at the second annual POWER Shanghai program. We received rave reviews from the evaluations and emails from program participants. Below are highlights from the keynote presenters: TAKEAWAYS Hanscom Smith United States Consul-General in Shanghai • No one wants to be defined exclusively by gender, race, age, religion, or a specific attribute. • We all want a work environment that fosters openness and respect. These are the qualities we have a right to expect in our workplace which each of us has a responsibility to foster. • Take the time to engage and educate colleagues on diversity. You can do it indirectly, through openness, by example, and directly by asking questions or raising concerns. H. James Dallas Mastering the Challenges of Change • Transformational leaders make things better for others – they have a purpose. • Three characteristics/skills sets are needed: empathy, authenticity and resilience. • You become a transformational leader when your purpose is bigger than yourself. Then you can become an agent of change and lead transformational change. Mary Boyd China’s Development Policy – Best & Worst Practices   • As the China economy diversifies, new industries will help women have more equal opportunities. Traditional areas and roles will remain more difficult to move along. • The last few years have seen changes to the model politically and economically. The past 100 years have seen even more radical changes. • Be a positive role model. Have an appreciation of the societal pressures that younger women are facing including the fear of being ‘leftover women’.
