Warren Buffett Says Women are the Key to Fixing the Economy!
May 20, 2013 by
Who wrote these words? The moment I emerged from my mother’s womb…my possibilities dwarfed those of my siblings, for I was a boy! And my brainy, personable, and good-looking siblings were not. My parents would love us equally, and our teachers would give us similar grades. But at every turn my sisters would be told — more through signals than words — that success for them would be “marrying well.” I was meanwhile hearing that the world’s opportunities were there for me to … [Read more...]
“HOW TO KEEP THE KIDS SAFE WHILE SPRING CLEANING”
May 16, 2013 by
As the weather begins to warm up and the last of winter’s chill fades away, it’s natural to start looking into the idea that Window Cleaning People service the entire Toronto area. When it comes to cleaning your windows, at least that'll be one less aspect to consider. Plus, you'll also have more time to focus on everything else. After all, clearing out old junk leaves room for the new beginnings symbolized by the season. If you have children, your household mess is likely to require more … [Read more...]
Philippines to end ban on formula milk aid
May 1, 2013 by
COMPOSTELA VALLEY, 30 April 2013 (IRIN) - Health authorities in the Philippines were vigilant in keeping out infant formula donations when Typhoon Bopha hit last December, but activists are concerned the infant formula industry will succeed in pushing through legislative changes that will allow formula donations in future emergencies, making it harder to convince women in those crises to continue exclusive breastfeeding. Breastfeeding - especially during emergencies - has been medically … [Read more...]
IAEA Promotes Female Involvement in the Workforce
May 1, 2013 by
A workplace without enough women is missing out on 50% of the finest minds on the planet.

Women At The Helm, Integration of Women in the Maritime Sector
April 30, 2013 by
Shipping has historically been a male-dominated industry and that tradition runs long and deep. However, through its global programme on the Integration of Women in the Maritime Sector, IMO is making a concerted effort to help the industry move on from that tradition and to help women achieve a representation within it that is more in keeping with twenty-first century expectations. This film shows how the work of IMO, and others, is beginning to promote change for the better for women in … [Read more...]
The Empowerment Compendium, Irene Becker
April 25, 2013 by
We all know the staggering pain of invalidation. We have all felt it. We have all received and given it. Some of us have developed habits of thought that cause us to deploy invalidation of self and/or others on an ongoing basis. The caveat remains that habits of thought and action CAN be changed and changing them is what personal leadership is all about. None of us is immune to the piercing, painful arrow that hits us and throws us for an emotional loop as the venom of … [Read more...]
