What leaders and Canadians are called to do, in light of the Women’s World Cup of Soccer, is to declare 2015 The Year of Women in Sport. It is a social message that goes beyond an organization’s objectives.
Take 15 minutes a week and invite your community to join you in declaring 2015 The Year of Women in Sport. Don’t underestimate the power of that simple action. A statement and declaration changes thinking patterns and biases. Done on a large scale with many different voices it is a powerful legacy of the Women’s World Cup.
You don’t need to associate yourself with this website or The Power in Sport – I release you. The message of The Year of Women in Sport is universal – you can take 15 minutes a week to blog, tweet, facebook, and even video about why this is the Year of Women in Sport in your opinion, for your community.
Imagine all the accomplishments and successes of women and girls in sport that you have witnessed in your world – write about them, blog, tweet, facebook – do whatever you can to post them. Including the statement ‘I declare 2015 The Year of Women in Sport’ makes it powerful. It can be that easy — that is what we are called to do.
Imagine the impact if you advocated to your fellow leaders to make the commitment to take on 15 minutes a week to celebrate women in sport in their world. Imagine the profile built for you and your organization.
Now imagine the inspiration and impact to your community.
