Do you know the "She-conomy" blog ?
They created "Marketing to Women quick facts" a short animated film presenting the growing power of women in the economy today.Impressive!
Watch!
This video makes an ideal transition with my last series about the Future of Presentations.
Have you noticed?
- It's simple
- It's short
- it's interactive (we tweet about it and hopefully comment it , too!)
- it's collaborative (shared on you Tube, on Blogs, etc...)
- and it's fun!
If I chose to post this video to start twenty ten (ah, I don't care I'm French, so I can say twenty ten as much as I want!),with WOMEN, it's because I am writing a new series of 12 posts about women speakers.
Yes! Twelve Women for Twelve Months in Twenty Ten.
I like to give myself challenges!
Twelve women to illustrate 12 communication styles :
- Meg Whitman
-
Carly Fiorina
-
Andrea Jung
- Arianna Huffington
- Charlene Li
American but also...
French, British, Spanish, Corean, Chinese ,Indian women, etc...
We need to express it, confidently and with enthusiasm!
Excellent idea,Marion! When we interviewed Kathlyn Hendricks (author of The Conscious Heart and other books) on Finding Magic in Midlife, she was passionate about the need for midlife women to step up and speak out. Her view is that we are needed now more than ever, so we must learn to take some risks and get our voices heard. Obviously, this means women need to learn to become effective presenters and speakers.
Our purpose with Finding Magic in Midlife is to create a source of midlife womens' wisdom for the world to access. Just as you are working to help women become better speakers, we are working to help some amazing women get their message across in in-depth interviews.
To listen to Kathlyn's interview, just go to our show & select her from our archives. While you're there, take a look at the exceptional resources we have already captured. http://www.exceptionalwisdomradio.com/shows/Finding_Magic_In_Midlife.html#about
Let's work together to cross promote our efforts -- we can have more of an impact that way, around the globe.

Marion -- love the "girl power" message. With women filling only 2% of the CEO positions for Fortune 500 companies, it's critical that our voice be heard. Becoming skilled at making presentations will help increase comfort levels with our unique position and personal power. I'm in!

Thank you Kate for this great idea!
Yes, let’s cross fertilize our resources and share them with the world.
I am very impressed by the positive response from different parts of the world (Dorothy from Bruxelles, Sharon from the UK and you Kate from the US, with Phyllis, Susan, Lisa, Jane, and Anne.
Formidable!
It can only encourage me to keep on working, writing, speaking and sharing with you all, online and also locally.
Looking forward collaborating with each of you!
Marion.
