International entrepreneur, speaker, and media visionary Deb Drummond has been honored with the Global Women’s Leadership and Excellence Award of 2026, recognizing her exceptional contributions to women’s empowerment, entrepreneurship, leadership development, and global media influence. The award highlights her growing international impact through media, publishing, mentorship, and entrepreneurial leadership, particularly her commitment to creating platforms that amplify women’s voices and inspire purpose-driven success.
As founder of Mission Accepted Media, Drummond has built an international movement centered on leadership, storytelling, visibility, and entrepreneurial empowerment. Her globally recognized Stand Up, Speak Up, Show Up, Yes You! Summit of Inspiration has evolved into one of the most expansive online platforms dedicated to supporting women entrepreneurs, creatives, authors, and business leaders worldwide. Through 28 live summits, the initiative has connected thousands of attendees while featuring more than 1,200 speakers and authors through globally accessible programming.
Central to Drummond’s work is the belief that visibility creates opportunity and that when women are empowered to share their stories, industries, communities, and future generations benefit from that transformation.
“When women rise together and share their stories, we don’t just build businesses — we build movements,” said Drummond. “Leadership is not about waiting for permission. It’s about stepping forward with purpose and creating opportunities for others along the way.”
Over the course of her career, Drummond has founded seven international companies and worked with more than 30,000 private clients through high-performance coaching programs focused on leadership, health, wealth, and personal growth. She is also the founder of The Women’s Channel, a media platform dedicated to amplifying women’s stories through purpose-driven entertainment and empowering television programming.
Her Mission Accepted: 262 Women Entrepreneurs, Ultrapreneurs, Creatives & Media — Rock Legacy & Tell All anthology has become part of a larger global storytelling initiative focused on visibility, courage, and legacy-building among women leaders and entrepreneurs. “What distinguishes Deb Drummond is her commitment to building platforms that elevate communities rather than individuals alone,” noted Insider Weekly Reviews. “Through media, publishing, mentorship, and global events, she has created spaces where women are encouraged to lead boldly and authentically.”
Known for her heart-centered leadership philosophy and dynamic approach, Drummond continues to inspire audiences internationally through keynote speaking engagements, podcasts, mentorship programs, collaborative initiatives, and media projects. Her work consistently focuses on helping individuals transform visibility into opportunity while encouraging purpose-driven leadership and sustainable growth.
“I don’t just create opportunities — I create platforms where others can expand what’s possible for themselves and for the world,” said Drummond. “The greatest success comes from helping others discover their voice, their purpose, and their ability to lead.”
Through her work in media, entrepreneurship, and leadership development, Drummond continues to inspire audiences worldwide to lead with purpose, confidence, and impact.
