I have been very involved with scoping a “Women’s Initiative Project” inside a large medical aid company recently, which sparked all sorts of debate around what women would want included in this initiative.
During this scoping process I found out a lot more about South African women, their ‘issues’ and concerns - (I am British): What they compromise on and what they won’t compromise on, their expectations and disappointments, and the incredibly different, diverse outlooks women have.
I was surprised at other women’s reaction to my, as they said “wealth of knowledge and experience” and the breadth of my network, as I thought most women in my age group (Forties) were like me!
So as a woman of the world, I decided I needed to share this with a greater audience.
Such is the universal synchronicity, that soon after this desire to share hit me; Trevor Nel suggested a blog and said what do you want to call it? Women Rock! leapt to mind and in his indomitable style, Trevor had the thing up and running that night!
Nothing like being taken at your word.
As I am a process kind of person who likes structure, I will map out my current intentions for this blog. In no particular order here are some of the issues I would like to explore, research and discuss:
Belief systems, where do we get them from?The list could go on and on, but these are top of mind at the moment, and I would like to explore them as we go along, choosing one topic at a time to discuss and debate at length, as only women can! Who knows, we may even come up with some answers we can all agree on.
Do women need to be more like men in the workplace? (Donald Trump issue with women’s tears on the Apprentice)
Why do women trust women less than men in the workplace? True or false?
Women Bosses
Women as Entrepreneurs
How long does it take to make a new girlfriend? (At what age?)
Understanding Men! (Not as difficult as you might think)
Women are the foundation of society
What do women want??
How women judge women
Relaxation and de-stress
Money Matters
Womens values
Know your place! (In society, culture, family)
Inner power, outer strength
Getting to know yourself again.
Self Esteem
If you have any other ideas let me know. I look forward to the journey.
Take care of yourself
