SOTL Global Movement

SOTL Global Movement A global organization since 2017, advancing women’s leadership in the cigar industry through structured mentorship, education, & international visibility.

We are now in a new era of women-led collaboration across industries, shaping culture with purpose. SOTL GLOBAL MOVEMENT ( SGM)
During SOTL Greece’s Initiative, a Global MOVEMENT was born; this movement aims to unite women in order to specify and implement the principles and the ways that women stand in the cigar world. SOTL GLOBAL MOVEMENT’s vision is to sculpt a better world, free from stere

otypes, where women’ s position shall be established in a base of equality. SOTL GLOBAL MOVEMENT’s mission is to introduce women to the cigar world, to inspire and lead them to extraversion, to empower them to raise their voices, to motivate them to create cigar communities, and in collaboration with men, to develop a better environment for aficionadas and aficionados. SOTL GLOBAL MOVEMENT Advisory Board
The Advisory Board advises, guides, and supports the mission of SOTL GLOBAL MOVEMENT (SGM). It’s main purpose is to advise on the direction and strategy of the SGM, and by generating and giving feedback on certain proposals for development. The Advisory board is a volunteer group, formed to contribute to the spread of the vision of SGM and assist on implementing the principles of SOTL Memorandum of Understanding into the cigar industry. The advisory board shall bring forward for consideration all interesting topics brought to table by the SOTL committees and shall provide non – binding but informed guidance on every issue that may arise, serving the goals of SGM as a tremendous ally. SOTL GLOBAL MOVEMENT committees
SOTL committees are responsible for giving direction on issues regarding the women’ status in the cigar world. Their role is to guide SOTL Global Movement (SGM) strategies’ in their particular arena and contribute to shaping the content for SGM activities. Each member of SGM committees is expected to actively participate in the work of the committee, provide thoughtful input to committee deliberations, and focus on the best interests of the SGM and committee goals rather than on personal interests.

“¿Cómo preparó su servicio militar su camino hacia el liderazgo?”

Servir como mecánica de motores a reacción en la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos me enseñó precisión, responsabilidad y serenidad bajo presión. Cuando eres responsable de equipos que protegen vidas, no hay espacio para el ego ni para los atajos. Esa experiencia fortaleció mi disciplina y mi atención al detalle.

Como Técnica en Salud Mental, aprendí algo aún más poderoso: la inteligencia emocional. Vi de primera mano cómo el trauma, el estrés y el servicio impactan a las personas. Aprendí a escuchar, a defender a otros y a liderar con empatía. El ejército me dio fortaleza técnica y profundidad emocional. Para mí, el liderazgo es el equilibrio entre ambas.
