We plan to empower women by offering free general webinars and specialized webinars (for a small fee) about topics that help women to be empowered in their personal and professional lives and that are based on “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs:”
We will follow Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs in determining how to help women and which webinars to offer. Although our ultimate objective is to help women thrive and reach senior positions of power in their countries, whereby they will slowly positively change the world, we do know that, for that objective to be reached, basic needs need to be fulfilled. So, we will work on helping women with all their needs, from the bottom of the pyramid (Physiological Needs) to its top (Self-Actualization and Transcendence). We shall select the needs to focus on based on surveys sent to all the women who have showed interest in being empowered.
Lower-Level Needs:
-
-
- Basic Needs: Physiological and Safety Needs
- Psychological Needs: Love/Belonging and Esteem Needs
Both basic and psychological needs are Deficiency Needs which arise due to deprivation.

… And any other topic that helps empower women!
Later in his life, Abraham Maslow, added another dimension to his Hierarchy of Needs: Transcendence: helping others to self-actualize! He said that we should aim to reach beyond self-actualization; our ultimate purpose should be to reach transcendence which brings the individual “peak experiences” in which they transcend their own personal concerns and see from a higher perspective… we should aim to give oneself to something beyond oneself. And this is so well-translated when we help one another thrive.
