Hope you can join us!WorldWIT, the online network for women that I launched in 1999, has a special fondness for International Women's Day in March. This holiday, which dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, celebrates women's economic, political and social equality (even if we don't quite have those things yet). This year, WorldWIT is ...

Since I get a lot of things done, I don't usually let my less-than-sensational time management skills bother me. But recently, I've realized that what I don't pay attention to, can hurt me.One of my colleagues here at WorldWIT, Shari, is an incredible time manager. She knows what she has to get done every day; you can see her getting antsy toward the end of the day when her list still has items undone on it. Me, I work ...

My online network, called WorldWIT, is bring a group and we would love to connect with you if you're also in attendance. I find that two or three women-focused business conferences a year gives me a tremendous boost and always new and fantastic networking connections. Of course I go to co-ed events also, but the women-focused events have a special energy that I wouldn't miss for anything.

First, I went off the highway during our seventh snowstorm of the season, me and two of our kids in the Volvo station wagon, and totalled the car. I got a rental car, but it is the flimsiest thing you can imagine, some Chrysler low-end model that you've never heard of. Since it is still snowing and icy beyond belief (everyone is slipping on the ice like crazy) I haven't wanted to drive the flimsy rental car. So my husband and my workmates have been picking me ...

I don't know what the weather is like where you live, but it's awful here in Boulder right now. Actually it's better than it was a week ago, but it's winter nonetheless. We've had every snowstorm known to man this year. Still, you have to do the networking. I mean it. You'll get the winter no-networking blues otherwise. Meet some people, put on some lipstick. Seriously. My friend Joyce has a great idea. She is organizing a ladies' gathering at her house. They will get ...

Darcie Harris, the founder and President of EWF, shared some terrific insights on the ways that women makes purchases, so differently from men. Darcie reminded us that women want assurance - they want difficult problems taken off their plates, and they need their product and service providers to go the extra mile to make sure they are well served. Women consumers want to be treated as valued customers, even ... Thu, 11 Jan 2007 02:37:00 GMT
