You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.
This helped me in an essay
Thank you so much
Every woman who steps forward make small space for the women who come next.
Quote Dr Ngozie Okonjo-Iweala, the new WTO DIRECTOR
@@modzi-modzi5991 It's awesome to see her in such a prominent leadership role.
Happiness is not the absence of problems, it’s the ability to deal with them.
Convince yourself that you have the power to be all what you wish to be. It is YOU who could generate in you a huge power of motivation to push you forward and ignite you to think and to do.
Julia and Ngozi make such great points. We as women often have a lot to prove to be taken seriously as leaders. It's important for us to remember our worth and the value we can bring to the table. When we show the world what we're made of, we pave the way for women everywhere and truly make a difference.
Lol...
1) There's no right way to be a woman leader, be true to yourself
2) How are you going to deal with sexist stereotypes? Talk to your friends and colleagues about this. Forewarned is forearmed
3) debunk the sexist stereotypes when you come across them
4) be a supporter of systems that aid gender equality, even if you don't need them right now
5) reach out and network, don't take a backward step by shying away
6) the most important lesson of all: go for it!
I salute and congratulate Honourable Dt Ngozi Okonjo-lweala on her appointment as the DG of the WTO. The creative thinking + writing sectors are more valuable than the science and technology sectors combined. Pioneer revolutionised copyrights and laws.
Could u elaborate on how the creative writhing and thinking sectors are more valuable?

Much 🙏🏿 respect to you former ministers and thank you very much 🙏🏿 for everything you have accomplished.
Thank you both, good advice to implement!
Go for it...Dont take a backward step.... reach out....believe in you...do it... make a space for others... leave a legacy!
As a young african woman leader still climbing my ladder to greater leadership roles,videos like these and women like these encourage and inspire me beyond what i can express on this comment.

Achieve it by your own rules? I do agree with you define success on your own terms and build a life you’re proud to live but it’s dangerous achieving it on your own rules.
@@thegodofyoutube266are you giving your own comments thumbs up LOL

Thanks for the comment dear
I remember the time and place on the 24th of June, 2010 when I first heard that Julia Gillard was elected as Primeminister. I was on the Beenleigh train, riding in the middle carriage on my way home from leaving school early for the day. The train was leaving Salisbury train station and the train conductor had announced the appointment of Julia Gillard. I knew I would remember the day and moment. Not sure why, but I knew it would stick.
Nice video 👌
yay,Ngozi. Good to see you
I have effectively adopted a uniform. It's a colourful one. It's African. It's me. I have developed my own style that I wear everyday and I don't vary from it.
That has helped protect me from endless discussion of my appearance. It's helped me to get people to listen to my words not look at my clothes....Ngozi Iweala
A very smart move to avoid distractions.
Beautiful....
Its pathetic how many misogynists came to this comment section because they were upset that they saw ‘women’ in the title. Fragile egos.
❤
There are great lessons here.
Listening to these 2 brainy personalities resonates hope & enthusiasm.
God bless you both
A fave! ☺️
Women will continue to stomp out sexism to create a better future! Another great CZcams video on this subject is Girls Like Us on Planet Classroom Network. This film discusses young girls and STEM, making for a wonderful combination.
Most of all: As a leader do not hurriedly discount any criticism as sexist to protect your self esteem. Or as racist. Or as [fill in any other convenient apology for your own potential failures]. Look at your own shortcomings first, before you make allegations. Stop victimizing yourself. Stay objective.
Also women be less agreeable, challenge more and be more confrontational. If you pick up sexism call it out straight away, be specific with feedback and make sure you have witnesses.
@@-John-Doe- gender is important and is very much a part of people's identity. As soon as a woman wants to be in power now you want us to not make gender an issue? For crying our loud gender is an issue and it is a long way off from being an even playing field. We are still in the infancy of real equality.
@@-John-Doe- I must have missed the part where she talked about her genitals...
Efficient ✌️

Amazingly empowering
Thanks for the comment
Julia Gillard was treated appallingly during her prime ministership. She did not get a fair go, and was an exemplary leader compared to the despots running the show these days.
4:05 sure. Thats why you were elected PM...
She was never elected. She stabbed the prime minister in the back and took over until she could be voted out. She is actually a very awful person.
@@Smileyson58 this is inaccurate. Initially she became PM after the leadership spill of Rudd, but was elected as PM in August 2010 after securing enough independents to form a minority government. She was then challenged by Rudd in 2012 who took over as PM again with the stipulation that the loser leave the parliament. Subsequently Abbott won the 2013 for the Liberal party, accredited largely to leadership instability in the Labor party, but also faced a leadership spill from Turnbull and generally making the first half of the decade a revolving door of PMs.
@@zUJ7EjVD she's the one who orchestrated the whole vote. How can't you call that a back stab? She didn't even accomplish anything other than ruining the reputation of the Labor party and the Australian government...
@@zUJ7EjVD she was subsequently elected by the population shortly after the coup.

Isn't there place in society for that, if we remove the people without any from attention?
Funny, your comment is a moron signal...
Best part was at 5:25, Question: Ngozi, Where are the men in this? Answer: Hopefully manning up!

Thanks and that is inspiring! God bless
LOL, you do know that Julia Gillard is a hardcore socialist atheist?
Lesson One: Never, ever, tell blatant lies on camera to an entire nation.
Lesson Two: Never, ever, play identity politics and pretend that people are sexist just because they hate you for ignoring lesson one.
...
Typical emasculated male who can’t handle a woman leader
@@hit-the-webmarketing657 Your reading skills seem to be below average
What lies? Be specific
@@hit-the-webmarketing657 typical female says typical feminist crap
What would make people respect these leaders more if they spoke to sexism on the other side too instead of their own selfish concerns. That's true leadership.
what did this person do to make her a role model?
Julia Gillard - Former Prime Minister of Australia first female Prime Minister.
She was the first person that made back stabbing the existing Prime Minister in the back acceptable.... After her lead it's has become the common theme in Australian politics....
Julia Gillard's introduction of the carbon tax at a much higher rate than overseas made her very unpopular. And that is honestly what she is remembered for, in part. After promising not to introduce a carbon tax in her campaign, she f*cked over the Australian public and broke that promise.
@southaussie5108

Gillard said before the election " There will be no carbon tax in any government I lead". Gillard, you lied. As soon as you got in we had a carbon tax. How many other lies did you say??? thank FK you were taken out.
This is an important topic unfortunately I feel like one of you is reading a script, makes you sound robotic, and I can’t understand the strong accent
The Aussie, right? 😄
Because she can't be prepared?? I'm sure your accent is strong too...most are 🤦♀️
@@hannahclara7929 yes, i have a really strong Aussie accent. 😘 all better now.
@@veritystuartyep actually the lovely lady leader from Nigeria is the accent I had a hard time understanding but I listen to her again and everything she said is inspiring.
I agree, I don’t speak Spanish.
By the way Julia was never voted in as Prime minister of Australia. She was our deputy prime minister and stabbed the prime minister in the back and took over until she could be voted out. Funny how she left that part out .
If a man replaced Rudd no one would care as much let's be real.
@@Bec_love exactly. It’s because a woman knocked him out of his seat. And let’s be real, it’s takes the majority of the party to make that happen. She didn’t do it on her own.
@@Bec_love I was no fan of Rudd in fact I liked him less than I did Gillard. She was deceitful and sneaky.
Criticism against females does not = sexism
Couldn't pick worse female leaders if you tried
Lesson 1. Stab your own leader in the back so you can have full power.
Lesson 2. Profit.
We all know if it was a man that replaced Rudd then it would have been long forgotten. Because it was a lady people got twiggered aww poor babies and their unconscious misogyny boohoo!
@@Bec_love Show me exactly where in my comments it mentions anything to do with gender or even implies in the slightest anything to do with gender. You're the only one who brought gender into this, not me.
@@Bec_love thing is mate she used her woman hood as some kind of promotion for her doing that. As if her doing that as a woman was special. She also consistently reminded everyone that she was a woman and not a man. So when the shoe fits mate....
Women, support other women...yes we have to. There is no Prince Charming coming, unless your name is Meghan or Kate. Father in Jesus Name...help women to read Proverbs 31...the greatest business person was and is female. We do miracles every day...let's rise above all doubt, rise above all fear, and help us to look at the challenges with the answers...in Jesus Name...
The hipocrisy is hilarious
Oh soo scripted!!
Slightly
So you've never been to a ted talk before? You know where people get on stage & make a speech on a subject? You really think those people are just speaking off the cuff are you that dumb?
Another victim of the glass ceiling lol
How is Julia giving advice on leading when she's a failed leader who had to resign?
So much for being a leader. Wasn't Julia charged with treason by Brian Shaw?
Ppl say a female led world would be more harmonious but then you look at female dominated industries/institutions like schools and they are just as political and full of conflict, gossip and backstabbing, we’d prob have more bombs going off than ever. The real problem with leaders today as I see it is that cold hearted, competitive & psychopathic people chase those positions. Leaders should be appointed because others note their good humanitarian traits and humble attitudes, instead these types are probably working as artists or in libraries or animal sanctuaries hiding away from the usual mean and fake ppl that dominate.
Schools are only dominated by women as teachers, not in the administration in charge of creating education policy. So that view makes no sense.
Win the vote legitimately don’t stage a coo. Most Useless and worst pm ever even worse than Turnbull. But in your own words “moving forward “
This is so scripted.
But democratic prime ministers exist purely to look pretty! Also, pretty funny to hear you repeating nasty jokes people have made and expecting me to be sympathetic and stockhold-syndrome intimidated by having to suppress my laughter out of guilt and fear of reprimand.
It’s about leaving a legacy. Gillard didn’t leave anything except a foul taste of feminism.
Such as? Maybe you’re the kind of man who she’s talking about she’s always have to deal with misogyny at every turn being a female leader. What’s the matter too much for you to handle?
@@hit-the-webmarketing657 she’s only know for given that misogyny speech.
I have to agree.
Gillard lied to the nation in no uncertain terms.....
People called her out on it...... She fought back the only way she new...... Deflection....Everyone hates me because their sexists......
In hindsight she was way ahead of her time, this is the same policy of the Democrat party today.......
@@hit-the-webmarketing657 she said wasn’t in the successful hall of fame for amazing Prime Ministers of Australia. Very unfortunate :(
@@hit-the-webmarketing657 you mustn't know anything about her. She wasn't a woman, she was a politician with a vagina who liked to throw it in your face if she didn't get her way.
Thing is if she was a man people would be calling her a backstabbing power hungry man, but bcos she's a woman it must be sexist?
Time to cancel my subscription
See ya
Understandable .. for a while Ted seems feminism masked by motivational speeches
She was one of the shortest running PMs in Australian history, because she was extremely bad at her job and multiple other reasons. She didn't even last her full term hahahahahahahahahahaha
So artificial
Does she ride a moped ? 🛵 only she still has her helmet 🪖 on.
Don’t make fun of her wig!
@@freddobbs8558 oh that makes sense 🙊
Why don’t you do something “Pro-American?”
Didn't even make it 2 minutes without the sexism card being pulled. Women like this wonder why they're miserable and can never work it out.
Okay now i unsubscribe from TED.
Bye bye
Imagine having such a fragile ego..
At this point I only stay subscribed to down vote this garbage. Good videos are so rare these days...
@@casual_dismay you tell me, hahaa
@@tristand3928 it seems you need telling 😂
They are arguing the case that women don't have to exhibit "alpha male" characteristics to be a successful leader, but let's be honest, how many passive "beta" male leaders do you know of?
This is unwatchable.
Essential lessons for women leader? Why not just leaders?
How would you feel about a video titled: "essential lessons for male leaders"?
You would get triggered pretty hard by such a video I guess.
Most other videos are directed towards males by default. That’s kind of the point? Why are you even here.
Most videos are not directed towards males, why would they? Video creators typically try to reach as broad of an audience as possibe. But if you try really hard you can find sexism is almost everything.
Why I'm here? To point out the obvious sexism of this video, which is needlessly only directed to one gender.
@@Sepp_Tember there’s clearly an unequal distribution of men and women in positions of power. This video is encouraging women to step up and balance the scales as we battle sexism in the work place. Its very simple. This video talks about how women are treated differently and held to higher standards than men when they are leaders
Leaders? Wouldn't follow these posers across a street!
Ha! My “get back in the kitchen” comments keep getting deleted. Will whatever man is not paying attention, monitor your woman’s online time!
Why do you need help boiling water?
Dude, I have my problems with feminism too, but guys like you make them seem correct that men are the issue...
