Our Story

Women Emerging is a global, non-profit movement . Founded in 2022 by Julia Middleton, former CEO of Common Purpose and author of two leadership books, Women Emerging began as a small LinkedIn group during the pandemic. In just four years, it has grown into a thriving community of thousands of women who have engaged with Women Emerging via our expeditions and podcast.

What started as a two-person team has now expanded to 12 people across 3 continents and over 9 countries.  

Our Values

Generous: We share what we discover with women across the world, wholeheartedly, to drive transformation and impact. 

Embracing: We are warm and curious. Our inclusive approach engages people wherever and whenever they are leading. 

Freeing: We are brave, navigating away from established approaches to leading, liberating women to find and choose an approach that is personal to them. 

Undaunted: We go where others may not go and where we ourselves may not have gone before. 

Jugaad: We believe in innovative, practical fixes, simple workarounds, solutions that follow a creative route, paving our path as we walk it.
