Elevating women to lean-in to leadership and have their voices heard

As motorcyclists, as in life, at times we ride alone, with partners, or in groups. The term “lead our lives” implies we have leadership responsibilities for ourselves, in partnership with significant others, and if chosen or volunteered, in groups. In this session Sylvia shares how we can be strong “ride leaders” on motorcycles and in life so that we make better decisions for ourselves and our partners. We’ll also learn how to earn followers in order to serve them effectively and safely on the journeys we take along the way, together.

Elizabeth Rabe, Academy Manager, Colorado Motorcycle Academy

I am a lady rider dedicated to the goals of personal freedom for all motorcycle enthusiasts.

What drives me to support the culture of motorcycling is the stunning, awe inspiring beauty that comes from every aspect of it. Motorcycles enrich my life with friends who love without question. I meet people every day and create strong bonds through a common Interest. Motorcycles are a phenomenon that celebrates individual choice, unique situations, and the fragility of life. I feel the best way for me to prove I believe in the people who have passion for this is to build new riders. Safety centered education and training in a high challenge, low threat environment is the support I dedicate myself too. Every new rider comes to me with goals and I respond as if their desires are my own aspirations. To me this is not a job or a hobby; it’s a calling.
