The New Sisterhood of Success and Women Grow Biz

Today I keynoted the fabulous Women Grow Business ( @wgbiz ) first ever bootcamp. The title of my presentation was: The New Sisterhood of Success which was the amalgamation of some observations I’ve made over 20 years  in business and women’s leadership. Then, I combined those observations with research from the field. In that room, I witnessed – right along with the attendees – the pieces of the puzzle coming together.  Women Grow Business is a special group.  Some are solopreneurs, some have big businesses, all are driven, with their eye on the prize, a great brain in their head, and a great heart in their…uh…chest cavity?…and want to make an impact. There is potential for immediate scale of message, as many of the women are immersed in social media.  Combine this with their business skills and you’ve got the ultimate room full of electric energy.

I started the day excited, but unsure – as I am before every talk I give. I ended the day thinking, “These are women who could change the world, and probably will.”  Let this be a lesson to all women out there about how a couple of hours, and a room full of the right people, can change your day, your week, your year, and beyond.

Thanks to Shonali Burke, Shashi Bellamkonda, and Jill Foster for their leadership with Women Grow Business, a group that not only is well meaning…it is high achieving, ranking on a top ForbesWoman list of  business blogs for women.

The Hot Mommas Project is an award-winning venture housed at the George Washington University School of Business.  We make women’s stories teachable using our “case wizard” at www.HotMommasProject.org . The Hot Mommas Project library is the first of its kind, providing scalable, global access to role models and virtual mentors that can be used by educators, trainers, and parents. We’ve been featured in Prentice Hall textbooks, the Washington Post Magazine, NPR and are the winner of a national Coleman Foundation case award.

How you can get involved: Write your story, or nominate a dynamic woman 18 or older.

Our call for 2011 nominations has begun. While the contest runs through January 31, 2011 – Start now! There will be prizes this spring and fall for early bird publishers.

How it works: Nominated women come online, write their story using our “case wizard,” and click “publish” to be permanently archived in our case library.  Winners will be published in a leading Prentice Hall textbook in addition to other honors and prizes. To participate, nominate a dynamic woman 18 or older (yourself included) here or find us on Twitter.
