vezetőkre van szükségünk.

to solve these imminent crises:
a fenyegető válságokat:
and accountability as our principles.

for responsible leadership now,
to be around for the 21st century

And the problem with that --

sokaknak lenne kérdésük,
to ask Halla a question?

for that fantastic question.

but let me try and touch on it.
de megpróbálok rövid választ adni.
it is a spectrum --

woman early in my career,
my feminine side as well.
that the best leaders embrace both,
mind a férfitulajdonságokkal élnek.

egyik leghatékonyabb eszközét.
about women in leadership
hogy nők kerüljenek a vezetésbe,
of success is incredibly masculine.
elképesztően férfiakra szabott.

vagy csupán csak gazdasági növekedés,
more than money.

our economic and social systems
és társadalmi rendszereink
to give you a short one.
and consumption is shifting
és a fogyasztás változik,
into their leadership,
I wish we could talk to you all day.
bárcsak egész nap beszélgethetnénk!
ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Halla Tómasdóttir - Change catalystIcelandic entrepreneur Halla Tómasdóttir believes that if you’re going to change things, you have to do it from the inside. She infused the world of finance with “feminine values," which helped her survive the financial meltdown in Iceland and nearly made her president.
Why you should listen
Tómasdóttir's philosophy is simple: (1) the challenges we're facing today won't be solved by testosterone alone; (2) the world would be a better, safer, more sustainable place if we could infuse finance, business and politics with more gender balance; and (3) it's easier to change things from the inside.
True to this philosophy, Tómasdóttir co-founded Audur Capital in 2008, the world's first investment firm based on "feminine values." Audur was one of few financial companies in Iceland to survive the crash. Tómasdóttir has since been an active change catalyst, advocating for principle-based leadership and more women around decision-making tables.
In 2016, responding to popular demand (and a viral Facebook campaign), Tómasdóttir ran for president of Iceland. A woman in a man's race. Polls initially put Tómasdóttir as an outsider, predicting 1 percent of the vote. A few weeks later, against all odds, Tómasdóttir came in second supported by 28 percent of Icelanders.
