I was contacted last week by Linda Fitzgerald who launched A Women’s Place several months ago. The site is a virtual network for women to connect across the globe and is entering into it’s next phase of growth. I was asked to post the following below. Of course I said yes!

Last evening, I had the privilege of sitting with four of the most dynamic women I’ve met in years! Their energy, commitment to women and women’s empowerment was a source of rejoicing and praise during the late night drive home from Ohio!
The background is that we are spearheading the launching of a new network associated with the nation’s largest organization for professional and executive women. The group includes some AWP community members as well.
Our plan includes a speech by one of the women who is, among other things, a sought-after motivational speaker. When I was asked what I wanted her to speak about, I replied,
“Where women gather - there is Power”!
It was evident last evening as each of us shared a wee-bit about the journey that brought us to the table at Perkins near Cincinnati. And no where was it more evident than in the bond that quickly formed among us with the result that before we left the parking lot - a plan was already ‘hatching’ to find the means and mechanism for mentoring women from victim to victory - regardless of the life situation where they find themselves “victims”!
We are powerful! We have the power! Although many of the very institutions that should have provided the tools for empowerment have failed to do so - due either to ignorance or by design - women come to a point in life where we know we are powerful!
Enjoy!
