“In a world that’s constantly shifting, it feels more important than ever to stay grounded in human values and lead with purpose. I’m inspired by the women in this book who continue to drive change with heart, integrity, and vision.”
Cecilia McAleavey, Vice President Global Public Affairs Oatly
“At a time when courageous value based political leadership is lacking and patriarchal male dominated governance is on the rise, female and feminine leadership is more than ever desperately needed. Celebrating impactful women is essential as a reminder of what the European project could and should be to face 21st century challenges.”
Sandrine Dixson-Declève, Global Ambassador Club of Rome, Executive Chair Earth4All
“A powerful reframing of leadership. The Feminine Shift shows us why feminine values, like empathy, resilience and systems thinking, aren’t ‘soft’ skills, but leadership essentials for climate action and beyond. This book is a spark for the leadership transformation our times demand.”
Sevim Aktas, Policy Officer DG CLIMA European Commission □□□□

“Trump and Elon Musk put on full display how destructive leadership can be when dominated only by masculine traits. Joanna's book offers a powerful alternative. It is a guide for men ready to evolve, listen, and learn from the wisdom of feminine intelligence: empathy, collaboration and intuition.”
Jonathan Barth, Co-Founder ZOE Institute for Future-fit Economies, Senior Advisor Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership
