Doing it well') are successful. What does that mean? Three top tips are:1.… Read More »Running…Women on the Go and How they Do It and the F-Word

Leadership Through The Arts: Alvin Ailey, Ballet Russes, and The Fly Girls

Innovation within the artistic community is fascinating. It shows us that leadership and entrepreneurial qualities are found everywhere. Alvin Ailey, for instance, created his own brand and style of dance company…in part, to have the freedom to create culturally-infused dance.

The Ballet Russes was the first company to pair ballet with… Read More »Leadership Through The Arts: Alvin Ailey, Ballet Russes, and The Fly Girls

Benazir Bhutto-What She Means to Women

The Non-Linear Career Path

The concept of a “non-linear” career path came up in a call of leading U.S. educators of women yesterday. This topic is simply not discussed enough. Our research has shown the non-linear career path is a CRITICAL realization for the success of many Hot Mommas (read: “Doing it all. Doing it well.”) Yet, many of the messages we see reinforce traditional models of part-time, full-time, and a linear promotion/goal-achievement path.… Read More »The Non-Linear Career Path
