In 2010, faculty lecturer Cate Goethals took University of Washington Foster School of Business students on a study tour to India to learn about women leadership and business culture abroad.

"I expected the accomplished women we met to be powerful, visionary, confident, charismatic, any number of traits," said Goethals. "What I had not anticipated was generosity. Extreme generosity. The more responsibility someone had, the more time and attention and respect they gave us."

From workaholic bankers to avant-garde filmmakers to powerful lawyers and wealthy philanthropists to arguably the most influential female spiritual guru in the world to rural tree harvesters."
