"There is no denying the effectiveness of quotas"
|
Why Europe will surpass the U.S. in changing the face of the corporate board.
"For the American business community, "quota" is a dirty word. When applied to human resources, it implies a set number required without consideration of merit. Well, Europe is not running away from this word, and it is a strategy many of its countries are using to accelerate the pace of achieving a diverse board".

Ann Sherry is a real
Ann Sherry is a real business woman, one of those whom we can admire and whose example we can follow.
work
I am amazed of her work, really respect her.It is amazing what a women can do when she puts her mind and a little work into it
These are some good points
These are some good points addressed here.
These are all so important
These are all so important and, for me, courage is the most important. So many women are taught growing up that they are not important, not good enough, not ok just as they are, and this is often reinforced in our educational systems and society as a whole. It requires a great deal of courage to face the false beliefs women develop about themselves, to find the strength to say I AM GREAT, and to act from that belief.
I hope we hear from more
I hope we hear from more mentors and that they elicit more comments. Thank you also for this site which reminds us of the potential in each woman.
Ann Sherry - Courage
I would have liked to hear more, from Ann Sherry and others. Ann talked about courage, risk taking, the need to leave a 'footprint' by mentoring others. These are all so important and, for me, courage is the most important. So many women are taught growing up that they are not important, not good enough, not ok just as they are, and this is often reinforced in our educational systems and society as a whole. It requires a great deal of courage to face the false beliefs women develop about themselves, to find the strength to say I AM (not just good enough, I am) GREAT, and to act from that belief.
Thank you for the Mentoring Spotlight, I hope we hear from more mentors and that they elicit more comments. Thank you also for this site which reminds us of the potential in each woman.
Courage, Risk, Stay Connected
I believe that having the courage, taking risks and staying connected are all very important. Having confidence is important as well because no matter how complicated life gets, being confident in yourself enables you to work harder to reach your goals.
