International Women's Day—The Power of Giving: A Path to Influence, Impact, and Long-Term Success

In the spirit of this year's International Women's Day theme, "Give to Gain," Jones Day's Women's Affinity Group hosted a presentation that revealed a profound truth: Leadership ignites from within, rooted in self-awareness and your deliberate daily presence.

Arivee Vargas, author and award-winning executive & High Performance™ coach, shared her thoughts on leadership and how what you give—your time, your attention, your presence—builds trust and strengthens connections. She discussed how intentional choices, repeated daily, expand your influence and impact, and ultimately shape long-term personal and professional success.
