ELF Program is all about Leading With Heart
Leading With Heart
The world is hungry for good leadership, for leaders who see themselves as servants of the people, rather than those who lead from ego and who are driven by a desire for self-enrichment. We need leaders who will lead on our behalf, to help improve our lives.
The call is becoming louder now for decency, a return to empathy and compassion and to recognise the humanity of our fellow men and women. These are the qualities exemplified in what I call “leading with heart”, a concept we can all practise and one, which, I believe, will make a profound difference in the world.

Here's what Leaders have to say about Yene's programs...
“Skills in self-awareness, leadership and compassion are essential tools to navigate the unknown, and I couldn’t think of a better person than Dr. Yene Assegid, to guide this learning.
“What better way to encourage a hopeful future than to foster the next generation of women leaders by providing them with a global network of mentors, coaches, teachers and peers.
“As a coach and a person who’s lived in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, Yene has the cultural awareness to navigate, communicate and celebrate the differences. She uses humour, questions, ideas and stories to help people reflect and understand the world around them.
“Le programme ELF veut accompagner des adolescentes dans la découverte de ce qu’il y a de meilleur en elles-mêmes, tout en acceptant ce que les autres ont de meilleur.
“Leadership for Women” ELF program focuses on the development of a student’s “soft skills”: the ability to empathize and listen to others, then speak in a manner that will be understood, not just heard.
“Through ELF, Yene brings an opportunity and a space for young girls to learn more about themselves, about leadership, have a chance to connect with each other and work together to achieve their dreams. I am confident that ELF will help guide young girls who in turn will help build a better world.
“As Yene herself says, "Leadership starts with how we lead our own lives; how we make choices; how we make decisions; how we draw boundaries or not; and how we choose to stand for human rights." We whole-heartedly endorse ELF. It is aspirational, inspirational, and ambitious; and yes, it can transform lives and improve the world.
“Yene is an inspiring leader in her own right, and someone we’re honoured to count as a colleague and friend. We are proud to collaborate with her, and whole-heartedly endorse her inspiring initiative, ELF, and its mission to inspire and support our female leaders of tomorrow.
“EveryonesWorld Leadership Foundation (ELF) is designed to be a pivotal life-changing program for young women.
“I believe in this dream, this initiative. I believe it will make each country recognize the invaluable contribution of women to the spiritual, social, political, economic and cultural fabric of life.
“Yene has created a priceless gift for young women – a head start on developing their own leadership, which will help them make the best out of their lives.
“Au-delà de son intelligence, Yene Assegid mettra dans cette entreprise sa passion d’iconoclaste qui est un art qu’elle sait parfaitement dompter. Elle a évidemment compris que l’avenir de notre continent sera forgé par ses jeunes femmes.
