Marsh Engle | Author and Inspirational Speaker
The New Wave of Women’s Leadership
Marsh Engle has listened to thousands of women from all walks of life — from entrepreneurs and full-time mothers to college students and C-suite execs to musicians, teachers and artists — share their definitions and attitudes around success and leadership. She asked herself, What do these women with inspired motivations, leaders cultivating creative ideas, entrepreneurs pioneering new ways of doing business all have in common?
The answer was clear: Each woman fully embodied her power to lead, passionately, on purpose and unapologetically.
To embody purpose – Marsh has learned, is when a woman has a clear lens through which to understand herself, she sees her full capacities and what she wishes to create in the world. Both grounded and liberated, she considers the power of her vulnerability to be one of her greatest virtues. On a personal quest to learn how to live a life of meaning and connection, she never needs to look too far to find unprecedented potentials. Generous with her heart, she makes plenty of room to choose what matters and refuses what does not. Consistently building personal excellence, she thrives in her ability to improve life for others.

BACKGROUND ON MY WORK
It was January 1999 when I first began to initiate a long overdue conversation about self-worth, success and the undervalued creativity of women. The fact is I longed for this conversation. The undercurrent of change in my life was potent. When I got the news my mother had suddenly died, I was completely devastated. Then, my health began to seriously fail. And, a few short months later my father died. It felt as though lightning had struck my life. Life would never be the same. But I also knew that I was being guided to surrender into a new direction – and the change I was asked to create wouldn’t come from thinking more rigorously, striving longer and harder or going it alone. The fact is I was starving for a brand new way of creating and living …
I began my journey by listening to what women had to say.
The calling to create a new conversation became the Amazing Woman’s Day, a consortium of live gatherings and events traveling to multiple countries, across the United States, moving thousands to create, igniting a shift in the culture of our success.
Throughout, I listened to thousands of women from all walks of life — from entrepreneurs and full-time mothers to students and C-suite execs to musicians, teachers and artists — share their definitions and attitudes around authenticity, creativity, self-value, worthiness – life and the way they choose to lead. As I spoke with the women, I found myself asking, What do these women with inspired motivations, leaders cultivating creative ideas, entrepreneurs pioneering new ways of doing business all have in common?
The answer was clear: Each woman fully embodied her power to lead, passionately, on purpose and unapologetically.
Here’s what I know: When women do not have a clear connection with their purpose, the result can be utter chaos: a constant state of ups and downs; confusion; exhaustion from overwork; loneliness and isolation; dissatisfaction or even more, depression – in short, a dismal, diminishing misalignment takes place.
But, when a woman has a clear lens through which to see her value and worth and she knows what she wishes to create, she is enlivened with a vibrant creativity. She becomes both grounded and liberated. On a personal quest to learn how to live a life of meaning and spiritual connection, she never needs to look too far to find unprecedented potentials. Generous with her heart, she makes plenty of room to choose what matters and refuses what does not. Consistently building personal excellence, she thrives in her ability to improve her own life and the lives of others.
Way back in those earlier days, I made an agreement with myself. I promised myself that I would always do what I had to do to honor the woman I am – and all I was becoming – aligning with the life I was called to lead. I knew this was my sacred responsibility. And, I would dedicate myself wholeheartedly to being true to this agreement.
“TODAY I intend to define a new set of agreements to live and create by.
Then, I’m going to do my part, within myself and within the world, to bring about a shift, a radiant transformation that leads me to live more authentically, more lovingly, more intuitively, more creatively, and more collaboratively. That’s my idea of a radiant evolution, a radiant revolution!”
