BATTLE OF THE SEXES
Natalie Morales & Elisabeth Shue discussing their movie; Battle Of The Sexes
We had the opportunity to attend a premiere of the movie; Battle Of The Sexes
about the tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs in 1973. It was
also about Billy's process of becoming herself.
The Geena Davis Institute On Gender In The Media (click here gender in the media)
and Glaad sponsored the screening.
After the movie there was a panel of the 2 directors, a husband and wife team, 3 of the women actors and the media representative from Glaad.
John and I went with 4 young women who are millennials( 3 of whom are
Graduates of Women Moving Forward®) and our friend Val Hodgson (not a millennial but still cool) .
The movie was almost too real for me. They captured exactly how it was for all of
us back then. Very public & open sexual harassment, gender discrimination and
Misogyny.
I request you all see this movie so you become VERY CLEAR where we came from
as women and what that felt and looked like.
For me, and my fellow women, that time was literally a battle every day to go to work, open a bank account, get a credit card, get a line of credit, buy a house, buy
a car or eat alone in a restaurant.
I think those of you who are 20-50 know, intellectually, what it was like but you had no idea what we felt every day of our lives. We would lock ourselves in our cars, bathroom stalls or homes and cry to release the tension created by being attacked brutally everyday. And when I say Everyday I mean EVERYDAY!!
Those of us who survived and thrived did it through our sheer will and the support
of our fellow women.
What was fascinating to me was the reactions of the younger women in our entourage
and the women actors who had to, as their characters, hear the lines the male actors were saying to them.
They actually flinched when they heard what was being said in the movie because
in today's world all of that would be illegal or, at least, unacceptable. The female
actors, in the discussion afterward, said they couldn't believe the script. They
questioned their directors about if that was appropriate language or not.
In short they could not fathom a world like that existed for women. And they had
new respect for those of us who lived it.
Flash back 44 years ago to a young 26 year old woman in her apartment watching the match of the century on TV.
Margaret Court had lost to Bobby Riggs only a few months earlier and she was #1 in
the world.
So we women had no guarantee Billie Jean could win. We knew the crap we had to
deal with after Margaret lost. All the men at home and at work who now had "empirical evidence" that we were not as capable as them. The Domestic Violence
numbers went way up after that match and Margaret Court's loss.
There was Billie Jean, standing proud and confident and it felt like I took every stroke with her, hit every ball and lost every point! And when she won we all cried, even
sobbed, because once and for all we had some anecdotal evidence that we were
as capable as men.
Sitting on my couch in my apartment at 26 I knew I had been right:
We women were just as capable as any man.
See, Billie Jean King just didn't win a match with a man, she changed the lives of
women in that moment. Later she would cap it off with putting her considerable
platform to work for Title IX and Women's tennis. It was on her shoulders that the
US Soccer team were successful in getting equal pay to the men and equal accommodations and equal playing fields.
If it were not for Billie Jean King and her winning match against Bobby Riggs
no young woman in the US would have had an athletic scholarship to college.
But more then athletics, because of that win she gave us all a platform of equality to
stand on and use to go forward in our lives athlete or not!
So that 26 year old moved forward and is now actively engaging women,
internationally, to move forward in their lives with just as much confidence as Ms
King did when she walked onto that court.
By the way, she did it all while discovering her sexuality and "coming out"!
So all of you, no matter what country you are in, need to see this movie so you
see, so very clearly, where we came from so you never are doomed to repeat it!!
Lastly I want to give a shout out to my counterparts in Saudi Arabia who fought
the battle well and are now allowed to drive! And in July the Ministry of Education
in Saudi Arabia rescinded it's ban on women's and girl's sports in public schools there.
It is a proud moment for the women of Saudi Arabia some of whom risked their lives
to get the laws changed in their country! Well done Ladies! Well done!

Continuing your Women Moving Forward® experience
The March Advanced Women Moving Forward® Group in Westlake Village, CA.
If you have ever thought, "I wish I could hear Susan's voice again" or "I want to re-visit what I learned in WMF® now that my life has changed" then
Advanced Women Moving Forward®
REVIEWING or
OBSERVING
could be an option for you!
Because women's lives occur in stages: singledom, marriage, kids, etc. we always had the option for women to return to the workshop when they entered a new stage.
Here are the 3 options graduates can use to attend WMF® again:
Attending Advanced Women Moving Forward®
The 2 day workshop will have you focus on:
Your purpose in life and how to live a more purposeful life.
Completing your old Declarations of Self
Creating new Declarations of Self
Declarations of Self Exercise
Reviewing
In this option you are actually a full participant. You do a pre-call and pre-work and participate as a full participant!
You will need to be present for all 3 days and do all the workshop exercises.
The cost is 50% of the total cost of the workshop. So here in the US reviewing currently costs $1875
Observing
In this option you sit at the Observer Table and do the exercises from that vantage point. You can "observe" where you are now and where you need to be next. You participate only silently from the back of the room.
Observing affords you the flexibility to come and go as you please (except during the completion exercise).
You do not participate fully and only speak to the room if asked to by Susan
The cost to Observe is $250 in the US and $450 in other countries.
In every workshop we do we have limited spaces for Reviewers and for Observers.
If you think you will want to Observe or Review please let us know so we can reserve your space.
Next Opportunities to Observe or Review are next week in Cincinnati and in October in Geneva. I look forward to the possibility of seeing some of you soon!
Watch for new schedule of Advanced WMF® in 2016!

Women's Leadership Retreat 2018
At the 2017 WLR® there was considerable discussion of the use of Power and the feeling of Powerlessness.
For example; Just because Power has been used badly on you does not mean power is inherently bad.
It also does not follow that since the use of power on you wan done badly that when you use power
you are bad!!
Only one space is available in 2018. If you want to attend please let Susan know ASAP.
Don't get shut out!

Ana & Gill Day 2 Advanced WMF® Westlake Village, CA. 
Here are some quotes from the evaluations of the last
Advanced Women Moving Forward® Workshop:
"I understand the boundaries that go along with my role,
I will be able to make more efficient decisions"
"I have a greater sense of clarity over my life....this has given
me the opportunity to start with a clean slate. I am more in touch with myself..."
"I am more purposeful and can lead from a higher level....
I am more 'in the moment' because the distractions are being
removed"
"...(I'm) not alone in my experience, support is so helpful...
like a renewal of WMF® to a further degree"
"I will live more on purpose at work which will make me more
effective in my role...as a leader. This will benefit my company.."
"I plan to move through breakdown as quickly as possible"
"I am more centered and more on purpose which will help me
make clearer decisions and improve productivity"
"Knowing that breakdowns are opportunities to learn
information to move back into creation vs viewing them as a
dead end"
"I will focus on 'who owns the problem' and delegate the
solution to them"
"I have let go of old declarations and am refocused on the
path forward"

OBSERVING
Observing is a WMF® graduate program that includes
attending the workshop and looking at how far
you have come since taking the workshop. It also helps
you to keep the learnings you got as impactful as they were
when you took
the workshop.
The side benefit of Observing is supporting the women
attending by modeling what it is to complete the workshop.
If you would like to Observe any of the community based
workshops in 2011 all you need to do is contact us to make
a reservation and pay the $250 fee. Seats in each
workshop are limited and are given on a first come
first serve basis.
Four Graduates in Europe Observed the Frankfurt workshop
last year.
You do not have to be at all three days of the workshop.
You can be at one day or several or you can come for an afternoon.
The schedule is up to you when you Observe.
Some Graduates bring their workshop buddies with them
to Observe and some bring their old notebooks!
