Take the Lead – A Women’s Leadership Network Event

Kudos to the Women’s Leadership Network, Boston and the New England Chapter for hosting a fantastic event on February 28 featuring Betsy Myers, Former Senior Adviser to Presidents Obama & Clinton, and Founding Director of the Center for Women & Business at Bentley University.

Ms. Myers shared stories from both the Clinton and Obama White Houses, as well as the world of academia at Harvard and Bentley Universities. Speaking to a capacity crowd, she shared her insights into the changing nature of modern leadership, and how she believes women have an opportunity to take the lead and motivate, inspire, and be effective leaders.

Thanks to PLUS Director of Education Deborah Ropelewski, CPCU, AU, ARM, ARe, CPIW for the write-up of this great event.

 

The Need for More Women Leaders

For this week’s Fall Through the Cracks Friday we’re taking a bit of a different approach. Instead of highlighting something funny, off beat or simply strange we instead decided to share a video from Ted.com (one of our favorite and regular FTTCF sources) featuring Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg addressing the issue of women in leadership roles in industry. If you’re a member of the PLUS Foundation Women’s Leadership Network group on LinkedIn you may have already seen this, but it is worth sharing again.

Enjoy the video, and have a great holiday week!
