Women’s Perspectives on Paving a Career Path in International Education

Abstract

This article examines perspectives of 29 women regarding their personal and professional growth in the international education field. The information was drawn from the interviews conducted by volunteers of the Global Leadership League, a women-founded professional development organization advancing feminine leadership traits and skills, knowledge, and community. These Limelight series of interviews were analyzed to shed light on how women from different countries and career levels were able to launch and advance in their careers and grow as leaders in international education. The key learnings from their stories can support career development in other professions as well.
