Manifesto for
The Eight 2025
Arieli & Company’s mission is to be the ultimate ally to leaders who change the world. We serve executives who represent and strive for the exceptional. We believe that great leadership is a craft; a craft that achieves its greatest manifestation with the right knowledge, skills, experiences, contacts and tools. We call this the "unlock" for the transformational leader. The Eight is a meticulously crafted program and alumni experience to achieve this unlock for the executive leader.
We have years of experience working with the most senior levels of leadership across Fortune500 and international not-for-profit organizations.
In this time, we’ve worked with men, women and non-binary executives. There is no difference in their level of raw talent or ambition. But there is a difference in the opportunities and challenges they face – the good, the bad and the ugly. There is also a difference in the unconscious biases and systemic challenges they face, which in turn influences their leadership impact and career advancement. This we have seen disproportionately impacts the executive woman.
We've observed an increasing dissatisfaction amongst millennial and Gen X women at the height of their career: whether it's lack of personal fulfillment and inspiration, the feeling of not progressing in line with their talent and ambition, experiencing poor or unsustainable work/life balance, or teetering on the edge of burnout and facing health challenges. There's a zeitgeist which is here to stay.
The zeitgeist that impacts the executive woman is linked to the gender gap in global executive leadership. This gap reduces the full scope of innovative and effective solutions available to address to urgent business, social and environmental challenges.
For this reason, in 2025, The Eight is fully customized to tackle the zeitgeist that impacts the executive woman.
