Power Brunch

Okay, I just got home from Brunch with 14 fabulous, talented, powerhouse women. WOW! When that much feminine brainpower gets in the same room, the ideas fly fast and full. We met to talk about that classic subject - What do women want? But in this case, the context is what do women want/need to find out/know/learn about new revenue models in this ever-changing technologically-enhanced world of ours. (In other words, how do we do business and make money in new ways with new tools?)

The idea under general consideration yielded at least (in my mind) four good avenues for exploration and possible execution (oops, better make that implementation. Don't want anybody executing, now, do we ?) It was fascinating to hear each of us come at the subject from our own perspective, and also listening carefully to what every woman had to offer. As I sat there, thankful beyond belief for my women friends both long-time and newly met, I have to admit that I wished we had this type of input/discussion/leadership in every walk of life. Starting with politics!

In her book, DeeDee Myers made the argument for "Why Women Should Rule the World" and today was just a great example of how it might look if we did and when we do. Yes, we can learn from the successes (and failures) of our male counterparts, buy maybe it's time they took a lesson from us!

Kyle - thanks for the invite to join y'all. I agree the exchange of ideas and especially the build of ideas was energizing. Great way to start the weekend.
