Unlocking Authentic Feminine Leadership: Insights from Ingun Bol
In this episode of the Podcast Show for Female Leaders, I had the privilege of speaking with Ingun Bol, founder of Female Wave of Change. As a leader dedicated to empowering women globally, Ingun shares her inspiring journey from the corporate IT world to championing authentic feminine leadership.
Her story is one of courage, transformation, and purpose—a must-listen for anyone seeking to embrace their true essence and create meaningful impact.
Why Authentic Feminine Leadership Matters
Ingun highlights the importance of embracing authentic feminine leadership. It’s not just about women in leadership positions; it’s about leading with intuition, heart, and courage.
“True leadership starts from within,” says Ingun. She believes that by connecting with our inner selves—our head, heart, and gut—we can lead authentically. This alignment allows us to navigate challenges with clarity and purpose, making an impact that resonates far beyond ourselves.
From Burnout to Breakthrough
Ingun’s journey wasn’t without struggle. After experiencing three burnouts in her corporate career, she realized that true change had to come from within. She chose to leave her job, redefining her path to align with her values and vision.
“I wasn’t happy,” she reflects. “I thought the organization had to change, but in the end, I realized it was me who needed to change.”
Her courage to step away from the traditional career ladder paved the way for her impactful work with women worldwide.
A Vision for Change: The Power of Community
Ingun’s dedication to empowering women led her to build transformative programs like Female Wave of Change and the Wise Move Society. These initiatives bring women together to explore their authentic feminine energy, foster collaboration, and drive global change.
One standout moment? Organizing an event for International Women’s Day with over 1,500 attendees—proof of the power of women coming together.
Ingun emphasizes that leadership is a journey. “Passion and purpose don’t come in an instant,” she says. “They evolve over time. The key is to stay true to yourself and your values.”
Feminine Leadership and the Future
Ingun remains optimistic about the impact of feminine leadership on the world. She envisions a future where both women and men embrace authentic, human-centered leadership.
“The world faces enormous challenges, but solutions lie in guiding more women toward their authentic leadership journey,” she says. “Each step we take creates a multiplier effect, bringing us closer to positive, lasting change.”
Final Thoughts: A Legacy of Leadership
Ingun’s mission is deeply personal. As a proud grandmother of four, she works tirelessly to leave a legacy that her grandchildren—and future generations—can be proud of.
When asked what drives her, she shares, “I want my grandchildren to know that I contributed to making the world a better place. That’s my story, and I hope it inspires others to write their own.”
