For our sixth story, we are pleased to feature Ruchika Tulshyan, LT’16. When asked to reflect on the impact of LT on her leadership, this is what Ruchika said:

“It would not be an overstatement to say that Leadership Tomorrow completely changed my approach to leadership. The core values of equity, justice, inclusion, and civic engagement became central to my work and sense of self during and after my time at LT. It meant a lot to see that leadership can come in any form and in any title (or lack thereof)—and that someone who looks like me can absolutely lead.”

For our fifth story, we are excited to feature Bob Ness, LT’96. When asked to reflect on the impact of LT on his leadership and life, Bob said:

In my nearly retired phase of life, I consider engaging in the following activities—improbable and unexpected as some are—as profound delights from my time with LT:

🔹 Serving on the board of the National Community Leadership Association.
🔹 Working with executive teams in many of the region’s most important and successful corporations.
🔹 Co-consulting with an LT colleague to establish the National Arts Organization of Mongolia.
🔹 Creating diverse, multi-ethnic Russian-American teams that focused on inclusion and diversity through training and conferences in both Vladivostok and Seattle, which resulted in a Leadership Vladivostok program.
🔹 Serving as trustee or board officer on philanthropic and nonprofit boards.
🔹 Co-creating the Global Leadership Forum, which focuses on leadership development for social purpose organizations—now commencing its 21st cohort!
🔹 My dear and close friendships that were developed through Leadership Tomorrow. I count on this trusted network of community leaders throughout our region and beyond for input and assistance.

For our fourth story, we are delighted to feature Vivian Phillips, LT’93. When reflecting on the impact of LT on her leadership, this is what she said:

“I went into LT with a desire to better understand how to effect change. I came out of that experience with an empowered level of confidence that I had not anticipated. One of the most important qualities I gained was collaboration. It is the measure of collaboration that I’ve employed throughout my professional career: it showed me how empowering others is an enormous gift in developing as a leader.”
