Tough Love from A Working Mother
What do working mothers worry about the most? It’s the kids of course. Whatever the setting, the questio I get asked the most is “Will the kids be alright?” It’s made me realize that we tend to look at the glass half-empty rather than half-filled when it comes to blending work and family. We forget about all the benefits that we bring to our children when we work – and I’m not talking about the obvious financial benefits, although these of course shouldn’t be taken for granted.

Golden Skirts – Female Board Members Get Recycled
Against a backdrop of females surpassing males in undergraduate degrees, some professional qualifications (e.g. law & medicine) and most recently post graduate degrees, progress at the board level has come to a standstill both in the US and the UK. According to the non-profit Catalyst, women make up only 15.7% of board members for the “major league” (Fortune 500 companies) and most disappointingly this has barely changed since 2008. In the UK the numbers are equally bleak with women only representing 12.5% of board directors for the top 100 UK public companies.

5 Mistakes Women Make in Dressing for the Boardroom
You can’t judge a book by its cover, but we do. With women still occupying the minority of boardroom seats, we need focus on all angles of the diversity conundrum.

Doing a good job is not enough to succeed!

Working Mothers – The Kids Are All Right
The Science Daily recently reported the results of a 50-year long research project conducted by the University of Califo ia, Irvine under the headline “The Kids Are All Right: Few Negative Associations With Mom’s Return to Work After Having Children”. Once again the headline is framed in a negative context instead of a positive one. I eagerly await the day when a headline on the subject of working mothers gets published in a positive context, i.e. “Working Mothers Bring A Multitude of Benefits to the Home, especially to their children”. But I guess this doesn’t grab the reader’s attention?r

How to Get More Women Leaders – Sheryl Sandberg’s Advice
Where are all the women leaders? Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook, offers some of the best advice on the subject. We’ve all heard about mentoring, networking, company diversity programs, as well as changes in attitude about how and where work gets done. These are all important initiatives, but they alone are not enough to break the stubbornly low representation of women in the upper echelons of government and business.
