CEO Mom

As the founder and President of Working Mother Media I have been involved with the advancement of working moms for 30 years. I am often a keynote speaker on the subject of work-life balance, the advancement of women, barriers facing women of color, and leadership. When asked to appear on major talk shows including The Early Show, The Today Show, Oprah, Good Morning America, PBS's To the Contrary and on hundreds of radio shows or to comment in newspapers nationwide, I love to tell the world how hard working mothers work to keep their families and the businesses they work for moving and growing. I told many of my stories in the award-winning book: This is How We Do It: The Working Mothers' Manifesto.

Join me in this amazing conversation. By the way, I would not be a working mom without my two great kids - all grown up - Julia Rose and Robert Scott; and my husband Bob Coulombe is by my side every step of this journey. Let me know what you are thinking!

NAFE Honors Top Companies for Executive Women

Posted on March 23, 2009

I'm incredibly excited about our event (March 18). Once again, we will honor the NAFE Top Companies for Executive Women---companies that have moved women into top executive positions and created a culture that supports and nurtures women. This year we are honoring 50 companies, with more than 350 people to come and help us celebrate at Cipriani 42nd Street here in New York City.

In addition to honoring these outstanding companies, we are also looking forward to enjoying our keynote speaker, noted NY Times columnist Nicholas Kristof. When we read Kristof’s recent op-ed piece entitled “Mistresses of the Universe,” we knew he would be the perfect speaker for our celebration. If you haven’t read the article, he talked about recent discussions at the World Economic Forum regarding whether we would have been in the same economic crisis today if Lehman Brothers had been Lehman Sisters. After reviewing some research on differences between the genders, Kristoff concluded with the “…hope that banks seek a little more diversity on their own---just as as desperately as they’re seeking bailouts.” Here’s a link to Kristof’s article
