6 StepsTo Authentic Self Confidence For Women
Dana Theus, May 18, 2013
Why would anyone follow a leader with no self-confidence? They wouldn’t. Do women struggle with self-confidence more than men? Yes. Then why are we surprised when there aren’t as many female leaders as male leaders in our businesses and society? We shouldn’t be.
Now, I know very well that moving women in to more leadership positions is a bit more complicated than this and I’m not trying to suggest an easy fix to women’s inequality… but I am saying that for too long women have “bought” the stories society has told us about how we “can’t lead like a man” (which, by the way, research says is true) and that “leading like a woman won’t work” (which, by the way, research says is not true.) The truth is we can do a lot more ourselves to build our confidence levels that will give us credibility on the leadership track.

The True Power Of No

Ashley Ryan, May 14, 2013
I recently read a study that said 78% of people are unhappy in their career.
This got me thinking about the golden handcuffs that keep us stuck in jobs that we don’t love.
And how with a little bit of prevention, and planting a seed for our kids, maybe they could have the opportunity to have a career they love.
Ask And It Is Given

My daughter is a stickler for routine. If a change occurs without her knowledge, you will find her in quite a tizzy. Yesterday the weather report called for storms and possible tornadoes. I'd told her the night before that I might not be able to walk to school to pick her up. Panic flashed across her face. I assured her I'd do my best not to change the routine and sent her to bed.

A Word About Your Beautiful Anger
Jennifer Boykin, May 12, 2013
When I get stuck about what to write about, I’ll often ask a friend to give me a word and then just jam on that. This morning’s word was “resurrection” and, of course, the first thing I thought about was “insurrection.”

Maggie Lyon, May 10, 2013
I am spending a lot of time at the moment studying and meditating on the role of vows in our lives, meaning I am in the midst of making much more intentional vows (or intimate declarations) towards making our world a brighter, more awakened place.

Taurus Solar Eclipse: Hard Work, Fresh Flowers
Ophira and Tali Edut, May 9, 2013
Sashay, Shante! Today's Taurus new moon is also a game-changing eclipse. Taurus rules the zodiac's second house of work and money, and eclipses are known to bring surprise events (and opportunities) out of the blue. Dunno about you, but we're ready for this economic stimulus package, courtesy of the stars. Solar eclipses fall at new moons, which means they bring fresh beginnings, often out of the blue. (Read our feature on solar and lunar eclipses to learn more.)
