The Ripple Effect: Creating Value, Growth, and Opportunity for the Next Generation

Leadership creates ripples.

Long after titles change and careers evolve, the influence of leaders lives on through the people they encourage, develop, and empower.

We are honored to share that Lori Harris, Partner and Principal Consultant at Harris Whitesell Consulting, is featured in the Spring 2026 edition of Enterprising Women magazine with her article, “The Ripple Effect: Creating Value, Growth, and Opportunity for the Next Generation.”

In the article, Lori explores the power of mentorship, sponsorship, and intentional leadership, and how creating opportunities for others multiplies impact across organizations, communities, and generations.

As she writes,

“When a woman rises, she does not rise alone. She carries with her every girl who ever watched her climb.”

Leadership becomes legacy when leaders invest in others, open doors, and create systems that outlast their own involvement.

 

Leadership is not simply what leaders accomplish. Leadership is what remains in people because they were there.
