She concluded: "The world is desperate for leaders, male and female. It's not about gender, it's about purpose ... Fan your fire, move from your core, and be quick on your feet. Sharp in your mind, gentle in your heart. Be authentic. If you can do all that? Well then get ready for greatness. Chin up, chest out. You are unstoppable. Like a girl."

The summit marked the launch of the latest video installment of the Always #LikeAGirl campaign, which has racked up over 2 million views in less than 48 hours.
