Why Leap into Life?
On a global scale the challenges we face today cannot sufficiently be resolved with solutions that worked in the past
On national, local and community/company level is a growing need for healthy development of the (working) community
Individuals standing up to take action in their local setting , (company-community) need to connect and exchange to increase capacity and personal mastery

Gender and culture in the Netherlands
Gender issues are NOT women’s issues
• What issues are addressed in society?
• What qualities are addressed in business?
• How do we manage our agenda?
• What level of understanding do we have?
• How do we act accordingly?
• Why is gender significant?
