Leadership

OWN IT strives to develop leaders. Our operating assumption is that everyone is a leader and can learn how to be a better leader. Leadership does not depend on title or position, everyone can lead where they are.

Accessibility

OWN IT strives to be accessible and approachable in subject matter. OWN IT events seek to create a welcoming and empowering environment. OWN IT also strives to be available to all audiences and works to make its opportunities affordable.

Diversity

OWN IT strives to reflect the diverse world we live in. It seeks to showcase voices of all races, genders, sexual identities, ethnicities, abilities, ages, political affiliations, and socio-economic backgrounds. OWN IT seeks to purport a broad and inclusive definition of "success" meaning that status, wealth, influence, fame, and power are not the sole measurements, and rather "success" is measured by living an authentic and purposeful life.

Feminism

OWN IT is first and foremost a leadership initiative but without feminism we would not be able to do what we do. While not an issue-based initiative, OWN IT absolutely follows and upholds feminism and intersectional feminist values.
