About GMLS

Founded by Dr. Yanli He, Ph.D., in Organizational Leadership, GMLS is dedicated to empowering mothers in leadership by applying Organizational Leadership theory to motherhood. The summit highlights the profound connection between motherhood, leadership, wisdom, beauty, and ethics, focusing on four key themes:

• Leadership Traits for Mothers
• Motherhood Leadership Behaviors
• Motherhood Leadership Dynamics
• Virtual Team Leadership for Mothers

By the end of the summit, participants will gain transformative leadership skills, including effective communication, body language expertise, motivation, conflict resolution, relationship building, and virtual team management—critical for excelling in both motherhood and professional leadership.

Looking Back: 2024 GMLS

The first-ever Global Motherhood Leadership Summit was successfully held from September 28-30, 2024, at the Hyatt Regency in Miami, Florida. GMLS explores the four dimensions of organizational leadership within motherhood, fostering passion, unity, collaboration, innovation, and friendship among attendees. Attendees engaged in meaningful conversations, learned from each other’s experiences, and gained confidence in translating motherhood into effective leadership.
