Washington, DC – March 7, 2013 – The Hot Mommas® Project has awarded Tinu Abayomi-Paul a Women’s Leadership Fellowship, a position designed to create exponential benefit to women and girls. The announcement comes in concert with International Women’s Day, 2014.
Research shows that around age 11, girls can begin to experience deficits in what is called “self-efficacy.” In layperson’s terms, this is the feeling of “I can do that.” It doesn’t stop there. As the instructor of a nationally award winning women’s leadership course, I’m called into corporations where I hear about…well…grown up versions of “Mean Girls.” Is there a connection to that 11 year-old?
When I sat down to do the 2014 goals and planning for the Hot Mommas Project, somehow, I knew it was going to be different….I shaped my four major 2014 goal categories around the experience that day, pretty much violating every covenant of planning.
Do you remember your career dreams of yesteryear, and then – kind of this halting screeching break sound like in a movie? And here you are… x (xx?) years later, in a cubicle, corner office, home office – NOT living the dream? I was forced to confront this reality when reading friend, coach, and Hot Mommas Project founding author Kathy Caprino’s piece on the topic in Forbes.
This Thanksgiving, we are thankful for your support. We are especially thankful for your part in helping us launch our very first global web telecast of the 2012-13 Hot Mommas Project Case Awards on November 2nd.

By @ChiefHotMomma. This is part of the Power Plays series. Today I spoke at the amazing Year Up, a highly-selective program which “empowers urban talent to reach their potential” through an intensive technical skills training program. I told the group I’d put together some materials to follow up my talk, and this post is part of that. It was originally posted on a finance blog. What does Year Up – a… Read More »#17a: WORK SMART – 10 Tips to Save Time and Money
As I looked down and thought this was the way to stop the torture I was going through, a voice in my head asked “who will give the children their breakfast tomorrow if you jump?” I agreed and walked back to my car. Read More…
This was a turning point in my life; no longer was I going to allow anyone to taunt me, and NEVER will I allow anyone to think they could simply walk all over me. Read More…
Why in the world would anyone want to do business with me? I’m a fraud, who no one in their right mind would listen to. Or, at least, that is what I thought for many, many years as I bore the sins of my past and my skin color like the scarlet letter. It was only when a wonderful coach decided to take me through an exercise that my life ended up changing for good. Read More…
