Today’s Women at Work have Unique Opportunities A new call to action for women and employers
Here’s a news flash: Women are poised to surpass men on the nation’s payrolls for the first time in American history.

Women Don't Get Their Power From a JOB
Unlike men, the majority of women don't identify their worth or identity from their job.

6.1 The informal sector: Gender Entrepreneurship and Competitiveness in Africa 2007
Entrepreneurs—male or female—constitute a very small percentage of the population, according to household survey data. Almost everywhere, less than 1 percent of all women of working age (15 to 65 years old) are “employers”—that is, women who own a business in which they employ hired labor.

The Wage Gap is Alive : It's no Surprise but What Can We Do?
The Census Data tells us that the wage gap between men and women still exists. In particular, men outnumber women in high paying jobs. While 13% of men working full time make $75,000 or more, only 4% of women earn at this level. The difference in wages has been decreasing steadily, but what can we do to make sure that we continue on the right path:
4.2.1 The gendered nature of poverty
Over two thirds of those living in absolute poverty are women (UNDP, 1998). As noted earlier, women are very heavily concentrated in the most marginal survival enterprises (often working at home) and in wage employment in secondary labour markets that are characterised by low skills and high turnover. In Sub-Saharan Africa, they also undertake the bulk of agricultural production. The 'training crisis' is, therefore, overwhelmingly linked to the economic and social vulnerability of women and particularly the multiple constraints that prevent them from exploiting training opportunities.

Women Entrepreneurs Setting the Pace
Women today, have a much more entrepreneurial, gutsy spirit, than they did 40-50 years ago. I have been a successful entrepreneur since 1986, and I have seen for myself the number of women that take bold step into the world of entrepreneurship, often driven by the desire to spend more time with their families, and these women are setting the pace for what is possible, for women and men alike.
Increasing Your Success Isn't As Hard As You Think It Is
As a career coach and researcher of working women’s work-life issues, I’ve embarked on a national research study on Women Succeeding Abundantly, in order to learn first-hand the essential ingredients in thinking, beliefs, choices, and behaviors that create and maintain “knock your socks off success” in women.

The 12 Hidden Crises of Entrepreneurial Women
Several years ago I conducted a yearlong research study with over 100 working women across the country about professional crises in women and how we can reclaim our lives to overcome them.
