A Special Message To Women

December 20, 2012 By
I am grateful. I am angry. I am excited. Gratitude, I know, it's one of those self-help guru keywords. To me gratitude isn't so much an exercise in becoming artificially modest even thought it is attribute that I do not posses. Gratitude to me is about being aware of what you have in your life versus running after stuff we don't have. Sure I would like the business to move faster, get bigger, have The Women's Code become the movement I envision it as and train offices like crazy. But during the quiet time of the season and especially on a day like today it is important for us to reflect. … [Read more...]

Women in Business Women have come a long way since the 1950’s. It is hard to believe that women were once discouraged and outright barred from most professional career paths. Now, as the 21st century gets underway, we see nearly half of all adult women hold full-time jobs with another 17% working part-time. These numbers would have been unheard of a few decades ago when women were expected to act as dedicated stay-at-home moms and homemakers. Compare that to today as more than a third of all working mothers now are the sole source of income within their households. Women in Business … [Read more...]

Today's contribution is about the importance to schedule meetings with yourself and how to boost your productivity and well-being. by guest blogger Chris Sequeira The modern workday is a busy and highly social workday. We find our calendars packed with group meetings, sometimes from the moment we show up at work until the moment we leave. Sometimes, those meetings exist on our calendars because we scheduled them with other people. Group meetings serve many purposes, of course.

Of Friends Passing and Lasting Friendship

By Beate Chelette Today is the day to face up to responsibilities. Like any other day. Still, this one is different. I am sitting here in my living room waiting until it’s time to go to Louella’s service. I was on vacation in the British Virgin Islands when I received a note from Melissa that said, “Call me when you get this.” I knew immediately what had happened, and before calling Melissa, I checked her mother's — my friend's — Facebook page. She had passed away peacefully. She died peacefully, but she is no longer here. And she leaves behind a daughter whom, as many of you … [Read more...]
Making Better Choices

As I am writing this I can’t help but I am shaking my head. Just today I found out from Melissa during lunch that her father had cancer after they separated and her mom let him live in her house and helped him through. Not quite what is happening the other way around at this moment. I spent a delightful lunch hour with Melissa and I proudly report that she is starting to turn the corner. For the very first time I heard her tell me that someone offered her drugs and instead of being upset of not being able to say no this time it was different. Melissa had gone on a YMCA trip for 10 days and … [Read more...]
