Dr. Woods-guest speaker for Pembroke BPW meeting With much reflection and realizing the great impact that women have on society, many individuals conceive the fact that females definitely have made great contributions to change the world for the better "Who better understands to address issues that women?" question Dr. Ruth Dail Woods. Making every attempt to verify this truth, Dr. Woods endeavors to uphold the rights, dignity, and pride that women possess. Serving as quest speaker for the Pembroke Business and Professional Women's Organization meeting in February she inspired the audience with words of encouragement and motivation. "People told me I was leader. I didn't preceivc myself as a leader. This is typical of a woman," stated Dr. Woods Through her experiences in school and work, she had accepted this self-perception for years until she finally realized that women truly possessed the intelligence and qualities of a successful leader Informing BPW members that they were leaders of their own right, they also must take charge and realize their potential. "Society places roles and teaches modesty, you have the power to get better " she states. Dr. Woods continued to inform that individuals must make commitments which will help them to become "great." Staying in touch with a person's background or roots, standards and mother wit. also serve as major elements of leadership. This helps one to resolve, commit themselves and make decisions, and as a result, things will prevail if they are focused in the right directions. Feeling a strong desire to help young girls and women, she shares that others' endurance helps to motivate others, especially the young generation. Dr Woods feels that there is nothing wrong with ambition if it is put in the right direction "Good leaders look out of windows, not in them. " she reminds everyone. These leaders usually look at others and provide suggestions Whereas, great leaders "look in a mirror" asking what they can do. what did they did wrong and will accept responsibility. She summarizes her presentation as she reminds her listeners to make a change, she humility, strive for ambition, show modesty, perscrvcrc. work diligently, and attribute to others "Service is the price we pay for the paths for others. Each of us has the power of greatness, not fame, fortune Greatness is measured by service." Dr. Woods concludes Dr Woods has received a Ph D in curriculum and instruction.
