During this member-only salon, we’ll reflect and explore women and power from different perspectives: Courage/Fear, Conflict/Bullying, Empowering Others, Influence and Leadership.

Women and power: Is there a more incendiary combination of words in the English language? Drinking and driving? Teenagers and sex? A woman can never be too rich or too thin, but until very, very recently, she could be too powerful, for which—if she wasn’t smart enough to camouflage herself—she generally paid the price. Sometimes she got burned at the stake. Sometimes she got run out of town. Sometimes she simply got sexualized, which has been the easiest way to neutralize, if not destroy, an accomplished woman.

-Oprah Winfrey

We’ll take advantage of this sisterhood to share our vast experience and perhaps identify a few experiments or interventions to explore what empowers.

Each of us has our own hero’s journey where we are challenged, we step up or shrink back, find our models and mentors, face trials, learn lessons and perhaps serve as a guide for those who are earlier in their own journey.
