Retaining Intelligence to Excel

Narrow Narratives & Broken Rungs

The archetype of what it means to be successful is limited and outdated. Much of the public narrative does not reflect the reality of how workers—parents and caregivers —navigate their careers and personal responsibilities.

The common narrative of leadership is too narrow. It defines a monolith that not everyone fits.

For women, workplace practices often force women into trade-offs and competing priorities with child rearing, marriage, and social norms that impact their promotion and retention rates, which widen the gender pay gap.

Too often, the view of what leadership looks like is too narrow.

The Power of Story Telling

BUiLT RITE Participants learn that each are leaders---in their homes, communities, or families.

Everyone is a leader over their own lives.

The Capstone Projects will display new views of what leadership looks like, and how those leaders behave. From these new narratives, people can be influenced.

Each Capstone Project Team operates from a blank slate, where all ideas can flourish.

Skills developed in the earlier Phases can be employed to guide each team's Participant on where the project can go.

Projects individually, or collectively, will drive the inspiration for four public short-stories that will be professional produced to widen people's perspectives.

The Many Sides of Human Leadership in the capstone projects

Groups of 6 to 9 Participants within each Cohort will serve on teams to create 1) a 120- to 240-second video and 2) a slide presentation on how human intelligence is a required component in leadership.

The team video can be created with AI tools, or acted-out by the team participants. The slide presentation must tell the story in less than 10 slides.

To be successful, the team will rely on numerous members who display many team-dynamics: the supporter, peacemaker, visionary, driver, pragmatist, cheerleader, and many other human-centered roles.
