4. Women continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions even after
a century of advancements. Many women lack the self-assurance to
pursue senior jobs and fulfill their dreams. Women are significantly less
likely to be hired into management positions than to be promoted, with
just 79 women getting promoted into management for every 100 males,
according to a new McKinsey report.
Planning too much ahead of time may actually hinder women, as they are
more prone to do. In actuality, it's OK for leaders to not possess all the
answers. Trusting your instincts and past experiences to guide you, as
well as taking lessons from your missteps, are the keys to great
leadership! Being a leader is a luxury, and while experience helps you
develop, the true prize is seeing others succeed as well.
The most recent edition of Fortunes Time's “The 10 Most Inspiring
Women Leaders in Business, 2023” highlighted the achievements of
powerful female business executives whose leadership acumen is being
recognized on a worldwide scale.
On the cover we have featured Maïthé Quintana who is not just a success
story; she is an inspiration. She is the Director and Founder of IKIGAI
International Academy and an extraordinary individual who has
triumphed over formidable challenges. From childhood, she has grappled
with dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, attention deficit disorder, and
hyperactivity. Despite her learning differences and the hurdles, she faced,
she went on to achieve remarkable success, emerging as a millionaire
entrepreneur.
Maïthé's journey is one of incredible resilience and determination. Her
academic path was marked by difficulties, culminating in only obtaining a
secretarial BEP. Yet, this did not deter her from pursuing her dreams and
proving that academic success is not the only path to achievement.

10. In the world of entrepreneurship,
Maïthé Quintana is not just a success
story; she is an inspiration. She is the
Director and Founder of IKIGAI
International Academy and an
extraordinary individual who has
triumphed over formidable challenges.
From childhood, she has grappled with
dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia,
attention deficit disorder, and
hyperactivity. Despite her learning
differences and the hurdles, she faced,
she went on to achieve remarkable
success, emerging as a millionaire
entrepreneur.
Maïthé's journey is one of incredible
resilience and determination. Her
academic path was marked by
difficulties, culminating in only
obtaining a secretarial BEP. Yet, this
did not deter her from pursuing her
dreams and proving that academic
success is not the only path to
achievement.
Drawing strength from her
experiences, Maïthé decided to pay it
forward and help others, both adults
and children, unlock their hidden
talents, reach their full potential, and
discover their purpose, their IKIGAI.
She is on a mission to guide
individuals towards finding their
rightful place in the world.
To empower people to achieve their
goals, Maïthé has developed a program
that amalgamates artificial intelligence,
neuroscience, and human guidance.
Her approach is a harmonious blend of
cutting-edge technology and personal
mentorship, making it accessible and
effective for all.
All About IKIGAI
Maïthé shares that the academy's
culture is very simple: everything is
centered, refocused again and again on
the human being, their deepest self,
their future, their skills, their values.
Whatever thoughts, emotional
encoders, emotional wounds an
individual may have, the important
thing for her is to attach herself to
everything that's good in them, and to
tell them that they're a beautiful person
at least once in their life!
In the next 15 to 20 years, this will
mean less background work for
coaches and less time wasted by
individuals, which can be counted in
years.
Ÿ What is ikigai?
Ikigai for finding or rediscovering
one's path. It's possible to rediscover
one's professional motivation and life
path, thanks to Ikigai-based coaching
and training. Maïthé Quintana,
president and founder of France's only
international Ikigaï center based on
artificial intelligence, tells us more
about this happiness secret straight
from Japan.
Ÿ What is Ikigai used for?
It's a way of rediscovering well-being
and serenity, and finding one's "way" in
all areas of life, both professional and
personal. This coaching method, which
originated in Okinawa, aims to help
individuals overcome their malaise and
bring out their talents, so that they can
feel at home in all circumstances. It
encompasses both the ideal life and the
motivation to achieve it. One's Ikigai
can evolve throughout their lives. To
find it, individuals need to ask
themselves the right questions about
their passions and talents, and match
them with what they're capable of
bringing to the world and making a
living from. Ikigaï coaches are there to
help them, to guide them to get there,
and to work on it.
Ÿ Who is Ikigaï for?
Everyone, individually or collectively.
Ikigaï helps to reduce emotional
burden and defuse internal emotional
conflicts. An Ikigaï audit analyzes
Quality of Working Life issues and the
emotional temperature of corporate
teams. Coaches help individuals to
look at things from a different angle
and to begin a process of benevolence.
Training courses range from 7 hours to
318 hours and can be delivered face-to-
face or remotely. In her view, managers
have a duty to make resources such as
Ikigaï available, so as to give their staff
the opportunity to find a better way of
seeing their talents and strengthening
their positive points. Better well-being
leads to better performance.
Maïthé adds that Ikigaï gives new
meaning to one's professional and
personal life... It's often said that
"when one is well, others are too."
Ikigaï is useful at any age, at any stage
of life... Finding it can help individuals
to get out of a "brown out" or quiet
quitting, a "burn out," or to move
forward in a reconversion or a more
radical change.
Endeavors in IKIGAI Coaching and
Investment Fund
According to Maïthé, IKIGAI is
positioned in a wide range of fields, but
her common denominator is the human
factor. In fact, the Institut Pédagogique
Neuro-Assimil Center (Ipnass.com) in
France is dedicated to training Ikigai
Adult; Junior 14/20 years and coaches
Ikigai Quality of Working Life
consultants, and setting up annual
workshops dedicated to the search for
one's ikigai, either face-to-face or
online. They have a skills assessment
coaching unit that is essentially
dedicated to professional retraining and
the readjustment of the human mass
following a life accident, job loss, or
search for meaning. Maïthé also offers
management training based on
neuroscience and collective emotional
intelligence. These courses are
designed for level 1, N-2, and N-3
managers to improve working
conditions and increase team
involvement and productivity. They
have agreements to certify and train on

Mediators with the Groupement
10 | December 2023
13. National des Commissaires Médiateurs based in Paris. A
consultancy department focusing on distribution strategy,
reorganization, and the integration of artificial intelligence
into their consumer ecosystem enables them to be the
benchmark for the tools to be installed, the re-
implementation of resources, and to support them with a
real "change management" program.
In 2008, Maïthé set up an investment fund, Dharma &
Associés, dedicated to digital and artificial intelligence
investments. Her role is very simple, given her experience
over the last 36 years and her acute appetite for IT, AI, and
people. She has the talent to be a visionary on how to shape
a business, to be able to model it from A to Z and put it into
production until it becomes viable. Her management style is
short and based on a desire to get things done and creativity.
Her teams experience life in a new way every time they
take on or create a project. She employs talent and know-
how, not curriculum vitae.
Role of AI in Society
Maïthé's development strategy is very simple: they are
entering the U.S. at the end of 2023/beginning of 2024 with
AI-based tool solutions in English and Spanish, and, of
course, in French for the French-speaking community. In
the spring of 2024, they will open up Canada and all the
U.S. states. By 2025, they plan to expand into South
America, unless they can find high-performance allies with
the same values as theirs.
Unfortunately, she finds herself in an industry that serves as
an emotional ambulance to save employees. Whether it's
today's crisis, the threat of war, or other parameters in the
societal ecosystem, she regrets to inform those who don't
know that our lives have changed and are going to change.
Life as it used to be is no more, and what was the leitmotiv
10/5 years ago, or even post-COVID, is already a long way
from it. Artificial intelligence has arrived like an axe in our
lives, even though it was already 15 years ago. With all
these parameters of fear being stimulated, humanity will
need to refocus on itself and reconnect with the true values
that drive it if it is to redesign a future worthy of the name.
Ikigai and coaches are there to help individuals realign
themselves and take back control of their lives.
Significance of Continuous Learning and Emotional
Intelligence
Maïthé continues to perform well, maintaining a high level
of creativity at 95% of her performance. She focuses on
learning three new skills a year to keep herself engaged and
avoid getting tired when acquiring new abilities. She
dedicates 5 to 8 hours a week to surfing development
forums, exploring the most downloaded applications, and
staying updated on the most searched words on Google. She
remains closely connected to the field and her teams to
anticipate decisions and, most importantly, to maintain
agility in her decision-making. She acknowledges that the
syndrome affecting many, including leaders, managers,
employees, and even children, is the need to be "right all
the time." Maïthé points out that this syndrome often
hinders people from being right, which is a key lesson in
neuroscience. This behavior becomes an emotional encoder,
leading to a constant struggle for territory and a gradual,
silent emotional war. As a result, emotional intelligence and
collective intelligence struggle to flourish.
Maïthé also recommends that today's and tomorrow's
managers focus on managing their emotions, as it enables
them to better and more swiftly manage projects and teams.
Emphasizing emotional management is one of the keys to
achieving faster success, as there is no longer time to wait
for one's turn.
Vital Role of the Director and Founder in Business
Strategy
On the criticality for the Director and Founder role to be
engaged in business strategy, Maïthé thinks it's vital that the
director or founder is involved in strategy and debriefings.
They alone hold the vision and the model for the project,
and they are the only ones who can anticipate future
problems, assist with lobbying, and make swift course
changes when needed. She points out that over the last 30
years, there has been a regrettable development of the skill
of "non-decision making," which in some companies has
evolved into collective decision making. She questions how
a sensible manager can believe that the inside of their brain
is connected to their co-CEO and the rest of the board of
directors. Maïthé adds, “A creator, a leader, a project, a
success! And if they are a good manager, they will say
"WE!”
A Vision for the Future
Maïthé envisions that the future, with the integration of
artificial intelligence, is going to change everything. The
COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated our capacity to
telework, but it has also highlighted the shift in salaried
employment. In fact, teleworking subcontracting is
emerging as one of the most suitable solutions for hiring a
skill rather than an employee.
The "Digital Nomad" lifestyle is a dream shared by many at
30, and it remains Maïthé's dream today: to travel, generate
wealth, and become a better person through their actions.
This has been her way of life for 20 years. She believes that
corporate culture can be maintained if the manager who
leads their team is capable of effective communication,
teaching, motivation, organization, supervision, setting an
example, taking a step back, and being fair.

14. Words of
Encouragement
Maïthé has just one piece of advice
for those who are starting out, who
are scared, who are lost: If they're
here, it's not by chance; whoever
recruited them saw in them what
they don't see! And they should
never forget, "it's by doing that we
learn!" She encourages them to be
the manager, the customer, the
employee they wish they had. This
"schizophrenic model" has helped
her a lot over the years.

28. Validation &
Aspiration
V
Dawn observes that competitors
within the industry are adopting
Alignment Health Plan's approach,
which she finds exciting as it
validates the company's direction.
The overarching aim is to
progressively revolutionize
healthcare, impacting one patient
at a time. Dawn's personal goal is to
play a role in driving this
transformation, making
improvements in senior care
throughout the United States.
28 | December 2023
29. As the average life expectancy
increases, as do the number and
proportion of older people in most
developed and developing countries,
a central question is whether this
population aging will be
accompanied by sustained or
improved health, an improving
quality of life, and adequate social
and economic resources.
Adults over the age of 65 will
account for 20% of the US
population by 2050. The fiscal and
policy ramifications of this
demographic transformation are two
of the most significant difficulties
that federal and state governments
confront today. Our healthcare
system, its financing sources, and
American families will face
significant strain as our population
ages. A lack of personal savings for
long-term care, combined with a
fragmented and institutionally
dependent delivery system, will
endanger the health and quality of
life of aging Americans. To handle
the various chronic illnesses
prevalent in this vulnerable
population, our healthcare personnel
will need to be retooled.
Dawn Maroney is considered not just
as an industry specialist, but also as a
pioneer in preparing health care firms
for success in the hard Medicare,
Medicaid, and disadvantaged sectors.
Dawn Maroney is the President of
Markets at Alignment Health, a tech-
driven firm that promotes a new
approach to elder care through its
Medicare Advantage services. She is
also the CEO of Alignment Health
Plan.
Dawn is now in charge of Alignment
Health Plan, where she oversees
many areas of the health plan.

36. Founder of Revealing Genius, LLC,
Mary E. Maloney is a notable figure in
the world of branding, particularly
in the healthcare sector. Her journey
is marked by entrepreneurial
success and expertise in healthcare
branding. She achieved her first
major milestone by selling a
marketing and communications
company at the age of 32, which
focused on promoting medical
practices and healthcare technology
firms. Following this achievement,
Mary took on the role of General
Manager in a brand identity and
marketing firm known for its
specialization in healthcare
architectural branding and
wayfinding.
36 | December 2023
37. Throughout her career, Mary has worked with
distinguished clients, including Independence Blue
Cross, The Center for Creative Leadership-
Healthcare, Mercy Health System, and Penn
Medicine. Her achievements led to invitations to
serve as CEO and Chief Marketing Officer for
healthtech software companies backed by private
equity and venture capital, where she played a
crucial role in preparing these companies for
transactions.
The inception of Revealing Genius came during
the recession of 2007-2009, prompted by
confidential requests Mary received from
executives seeking assistance with their personal
brands. These individuals, many of whom had lost
high-profile roles, were grappling with imposter
syndrome and needed help. Fast forward to 2020
and the COVID-19 pandemic, Mary recognized
the rising demand for personal branding, leading
her to launch Revealing Genius. The venture aims
to support professionals in standing out in
competitive landscapes and adapting to changing
workforce dynamics.
Mary's portfolio includes collaborations with
senior-level healthcare executives from esteemed
organizations like Blue Cross Blue Shield, Johnson
& Johnson, Genentech, Lehigh Valley Health
System, Centene, and Optum. Her expertise
extends to individuals with diverse backgrounds,
such as MDs, Ph.Ds., PharmDs, healthcare
lawyers, allied health professionals, scientists,
nurses, and founders of revolutionary healthcare
tech companies. Through Revealing Genius, Mary
amplifies their unique personal brand narratives,
ensuring their voices are heard and recognized.
Brand Manifestos and Impactful Messaging
Mary emphasizes that the rapid success of
Revealing Genius can be attributed to its
unwavering focus on clear values. These values
are precisely articulated in the Brand's Manifesto,
which can be distilled into the powerful phrase,
"Messaging Matters." The Brand Manifesto serves
as a companion to a company's mission, vision, and
value statements, offering a complementary
perspective.
The Brand Manifesto has swiftly emerged as one
of Revealing Genius' most sought-after offerings,
particularly among executive leaders and their
teams. Mary believes that every leader should
possess one, considering it a paramount exercise
in their career. Crafting a Brand Manifesto
prompts deep introspection into one's life,
illuminates its purpose, and identifies core values.
This process provides the language to define
personal principles and a calling, empowering
individuals to graciously decline endeavors that no
longer align. It provides a framework for
conscientiously pursuing impactful work.
The team at Revealing Genius frequently
collaborates with board directors, C-Suite teams,
and executive leaders to craft a corporate Brand
Manifesto that fosters alignment at the highest
echelons of an organization. The Executive Leader
Brand Manifesto stands as one of the most
popular and impactful offerings at Revealing
Genius, signifying the significance of personal
values and messaging in leadership.
Elevating Women Leaders
Mary firmly believes that the world requires a
more comprehensive approach to sponsorship
that actively elevates more women into pivotal
leadership roles, particularly within STEM fields
(science, technology, engineering, math). She
acknowledges the invaluable role played by an
ophthalmologist who believed in her and kick-
started her first business. This act of faith, drives
her to reciprocate and uplift others.
