“What do you want to be?” we ask our daughters and sons when they are growing up.
It seems only right that as Women’s History Month draws to a close, we don’t just look backward but that we also focus forward to ask what we as women want to be and what women of the future might or should become.
This article on Canadian women’s economic power indicates economic parity is on the way. A new study published in the Harvard Business Review says women are better leaders than men on almost every measure of leadership. But does that translate to women moving from the current 18% to parity in top leadership positions?
Since the power to define the woman of tomorrow is to a large extent in our hands (See Power Tool #3) and based upon the history we make today (see power tool #1), I’m asking what you think:
- What do you want to be next?
- Who do you think will be the woman of tomorrow?
- How would you define her character and characteristics?
- What external forces will influence her?
- How will she define herself?
- Will she be a “Powered Woman”?
- Will she have “sister courage”?
- What are your aspirations for women’s lives five, ten, 25 years hence?
It’s a worthy conversation. Please post your comments here and let’s discuss.
