The Woman Who Changed The World

Women's Leadership Exchange

Rosa Parks is a testament that it is small things that can change the world. As the NY Times said: "By remaining seated, she took a stand."

Shake, Rattle the World

Women's Leadership Exchange

The NYC Transit Strike is on and Women's Leadership Exchange is based in New York City - the Capital of the World.

Welcome Ms. President

Women's Leadership Exchange

After much anticipation and publicity, a woman -- and a very capable woman, I might add, is President of the United States. Well, it's about time. You may think I'm crazy. "It's only a TV show," you may say. But I've learned that reality often imitates what we see on the media.

Help for Katrina Women Business Owners

Women's Leadership Exchange

It’s overwhelming. The tragedy in Louisiana continues. Since my last blog, the media revealed the lack of a quick response of the Federal Government.

Taking on the Sports Establishment

Headlines report on the screams of French fans claiming that Lance Armstrong only won the Tour de France because he?s been taking drugs. A statement certainly unproven.
