    Abstract
    The focus of this study was to discover what beliefs women leaders hold and provide an opportunity to share their advice with future leaders.

The study offers conclusions based on linking the framework to constructs related to positive self-concept, high self-efficacy, internal locus of control, trust, valuing relationships, understanding and living ones values, behavioral integrity, aspects of humanism, authenticity and advice giving. The recommendations are focused on the empowerment
