Are You Ready?

One more day! Already, record numbers of Americans have cast their vote through early voting. Do you feel like you finally have enough information to make an informed choice on Tuesday?

Here's one more link to a post on the two presidential candidates' health care reform policy. To give you a little context, Goodman is founder, president, and CEO of the National Center for Policy Analysis, a conservative think tank. But what I find particularly interesting in his analysis is that neither plan will guarantee universal coverage and neither plan is paid for. As one commenter puts it, "It appears that they are both promising the moon and neither has any idea how to pay for it."

Many of us are excited about the candidates we are supporting, and that's fantastic. This year's voters are motivated like never before! But let's manage our expectations. Electing the right person for president is only the beginning. We are facing problems much larger than one person (and his running mate). It will take all of us to solve these problems, and it will be difficult, arduous work. Are we ready to work together?

Hi,

Read you blog on Savor the Success. We think you would be a great role model to young women interested in business. We would love for you to tell your story.

The Hot Mommas Project Case Study Competition is live. The project’s goal is to build the world's largest women's case study database available to women, girls, and educators worldwide based on documented personal and professional lessons of dynamic women age 18 and older. (Click here for mission detail and research underpinnings). The call to action is this:

Be a role model and tell your story at www.HotMommasProject.org.

Nominate someone you think would be a good case study at support@HotMommasProject.org.

Winners have the opportunity to be published in a top Prentice Hall textbook, other media outlets, plus receive great thousands of dollars worth of great prizes ranging from an Apple TV to SEPHORA gift cards. See judging criteria.

Here is what case-writers are saying:

“I really enjoyed the process of writing my case It made me reflect.”

“It was fun, the case wizard was clear, and the tutorial and sample cases helped a lot.”

“The case study project on www.HotMommasProject.org” is great. Just finished mine. Was therapeutic. Women, check it out.”

Here is what influencers in women’s leadership are saying:

"There is great demand both domestically and abroad for practical solutions and models on achieving 'balance.' At leadership conferences I have participated in ranging from Harvard Business School to the Middle East, women want to succeed in both their professional and personal/family lives. The case study database resulting from the Hot Mommas Project Case Study competition is a major step in the right direction. Having free and global access to the database will be a great resource of examples on how to balance."

"Exposure to role models can contribute to one's sense of self-efficacy, or the feeling of 'If she can do that, maybe I can too.' The Hot Mommas Project approach of providing role models on paper hits the nail on the head by showing real women successfully managing the daily complexities of personal and professional demands. The online, self-directed learning model offers an innovative "just in time" development alternative for busy women."
