If you’ve been hanging out wondering who will win the battle to make the War on Women (WoW) their election year issue, you’re probably still waiting. Last I checked, both sides were pointing their finger at the other for impinging on women’s rights in some form. I don’t think this is a fight...
Some athletes are simply not destined to get the gold. Women have a record-breaking presence in the Olympics this year - every nation sporting women on their teams for the first time in history and more women than men on the U.S. team. But when I look at the participation stats across the other...
By: Kunal Modi A response to Anne-Marie Slaughter's article in TheAtlantic entitled "Why Women Still Can't Have It All." For weeks, Anne-Marie Slaughter's recent op-ed in the Atlantic, "Why Women Still Can't Have It All," has ricocheted across traditional and social media. It touched a nerve among...
Last week, Anne-Marie Slaughter, Princeton Professor extraordinaire and former State Department Policy Director, took a break from writing about Syria and US-Mexican relations to write a sincere and heart-felt article in The Atlantic lamenting the reality that as women move into powerful positions...
I have been honored with a regular writing gig at the Smartblog on Leadership - an extention of the Smartbrief empire. This was my first post as a contributing author and it generated a lot of interesting comments (read them here). The comments reminded me that there are plenty of people (men AND...
There is an identity evolution going on around the world. Economic necessity has spurred women to be more self-sufficient and confident both at work and at home. This reality has put a dent in male dominance. However, the result is not the "End of Men" as many writers would have you believe. As...

Sometimes true wisdom hides behind sensational headlines. I often think this when I read gender wars articles; you know, the ones that toss the sexes in the ring? Here’s my latest beef: Women need to self-promote to make more money. (Forbes Woman , Catalyst Inc.) So apparently women suck at...
I’ve been watching the statistics and conversations on pay inequality and women’s leadership development. The more I read, the less inspired I am that the world will change as a result of this dialog.
The Dali Lama said “The Western Woman will come to the rescue of the world.” Never mind that Hilary Clinton didn’t get elected president of the United States. The trend she is a part of is well underway, and I’m not talking about feminism.
Just because no one I know got raptured last weekend doesn’t mean the apocalypse isn’t upon us; it just means we get to change the world before everything goes to hell. The world is in a pretty nasty state, based on the daily headlines, and it’s easy to feel powerless to save it. Yet I know so many people determined to do just that, many of them women. What I’d like to see is more people – men and women – stepping into their world-saving powers, more consciously, more assertively and more effectively.
Note to Men: Don’t stop reading now (if you got this far – kudos to you!) The stuff we ladies are naturally good at – and that the world needs – you are pretty good at too. Mostly you just need to ALLOW yourself to be good at it!
