Having a well-placed, successful mentor can be the difference between success and failure on the leadership track – but it is definitely more an art than a science for the mentor and the mentee.

The subject of women’s relationship to power is fascinating to me and in discussions with others I find the subject rich and deep for women and men alike.

Ah, summer... when the pace of life slows down. It's a time for lazing in the sun with a book... taking a nap... for really taking a break... making time for self-care. Does that describe your summer? Me either. For many of us, summer actually brings a bigger to-do list. The work demands keep...

You don’t know where you are going if you don’t know where you have been. It’s a common cliché, but it can be true – especially when we talk about women and leadership. When we think about historic women leaders, names that frequently come to mind are Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, Elizabeth I. We don’t...
By: Carmen Bolanos We’ve all read about the qualities it takes to become a great female leader: how to “lean in,” what language to use in order to show an attitude of cooperation, the importance of personal flexibility. In addition to some of these overt actions and the content of what we say,...
“The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend” -- Henri Bergson According to the media, the battle of the sexes continues and women are the underdog. We often hear messages that present women’s situation as lacking compared to men. Women are paid less. Women aren’t in the board rooms...
