The news about the 'State of Gender Parity' - announced at the World Economic Forum ‘23 meeting in Davos - is not good. The report states: It will take 151 years to close the global economic gender gap.

We invite you watch a very special online event to mark the launch of the Global Women's Leadership Channel on CommPRO.biz, that was held on the National Women Support Women Day - Thursday, December 1st, from 1-2:15 pm EST via Zoom.

This platform was created for global women leaders at all levels – across the public, private and non-profit sectors. Here you will find tools, strategies and the latest research  to help you overcome challenges, bias and  self-limiting beliefs that so often hold women back from both contributing fully and moving up in their organizations. 

‘Breaking up is Hard to Do’ - the top 40-hits song by Neil Sedaka was huge in the Sixties and Seventies. In 2022, breaking up is back!

Twelve years ago, we launched CommPRO.bizas an educational resource for communications professionals. I could have never imagined how far we’ve come. Working with the C-Suite, the contributed content comes from corporate executives, investors, and public relations specialists. Over the years, we expanded into a wide variety of industry sectors, including, marketing, social media, financial communications, public affairs, and events.

Executive Women's Leadership (EWLP) is designed for experienced executives who have potential for greater leadership responsibilities. Topics covered include executive presence, communication skills, and leadership strategies to propel one's career forward! During the 3-day experience participants also have the opportunity to network and build community with guest speakers and program alumna.

After years of research and coaching executive women and entrepreneurs alike, I discovered that almost every woman who is looking to grow her career or business all share the same BARRIER. The repercussions from this one barrier create stop signs, slow driving, wrong turns and fender benders along the route to get to their desired destination. Sometimes women just stop driving, which is why many women are opting out during the time of the Great Resignation. A new program created by Her Circle Leadership for coaches and HR training managers is designed to address women’s challenges.

Courage is under fire in Ukraine. Margareta Kull, founder of Kull Leadership in Sweden and author of the new book, The Courageous Leader, dissects the internal thought process of the most courageous leaders and how Ukraine's President Zelensky exhibits it, and inspires his followers - the Ukrainian People - to also show amazing courage.

Super-successful women leaders have learned to eliminate the good girl habits which rewarded them in their teens but stalled them in their professional lives. From research, executive coaching and experience I have identified the new habits that propel women forward to achieve their personal visions of success without abandoning their values.

Welcome to the Remote Work Revolution. Forces out of our control – the pandemic – moved us powerfully into this new world of work. Unless you are in a service business, like food, dining, leisure activity, retail, children’s education, etc. that require being live and in living color to do your job, you most likely do most of your work at home or remotely, wherever you happen to be during your typical work hours. Even doctors, therapists and exercise instructors are working at least partially remote. And it’s never going back to the 95% in-person that it was in 2019.

Leslie Grossman, women's leadership advocate and founder of Circle Leadership, and Christine Merser, CEO of Blue Shoe Content,  show up at the Circle Leadership podcast table with three picks for the strongest Women Leaders of 2021. You may be surprised at their picks with some controversy, too.  Among the women leaders discussed are Sharon Bowen, new Chair of the Board of NYSE; Amanda Gorman, poet and activist;  and Liz Cheney, Congresswoman and member of the House Select Committee.

I know. Some of you are saying: ‘How can you call 2021 a resilient year when it was 365 days of pandemic?”

The number of women managers ditching the workplace in 2020-2021 has been dismal. America’s greatest migration is the number of women who have left managerial roles.  According to the analysis of the Women’s Law Center, 2.1 million women left their jobs in 2020, primarily due to the childcare crisis. As we move into 2021, the likelihood of women returning at the same rate to equal or higher positions is low.

Resilience is the word of the moment. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from difficulties, adversity, or crisis. We all need resilience to survive this pandemic and move forward, but resilience won’t guarantee that you will thrive.
