To Our Grads in Cincinnati;
We are considering bringing a WMF® and Advanced WMF® back to Cincy
The weeks of Nov. 6 and Nov. 13 are being considered.
Let us know what you think...
Corporate's Dirty Little Secret
"Pay Parity," as it is now called, seems to be a big struggle for some companies.
Some thoughts on why companies should not find it so hard to make sure
women are paid the same as men for the same job;
1. All companies, we have been in, have #'s on everything. Whether they share them with you or not they have them. They know who is being paid what.
Moreover they know what jobs sinc in job requirements with other jobs.
Most have spent millions just to make sure they have these numbers.
Then why do they not correct this big area of sexual (gender) discrimination?
A question that brings us to # 2
2. It doesn't cost them that much to reach parity between men's pay and women's pay. They may say it would but that's like the fox telling the hens that it just can't stop eating them because it would cost too much to stop.
Horse pucky!!
Salesforce spent $3 million in 2015 to reach salary parity.
Cindy Robbins, Salesforce's EVP of global employee success, blogged about
how they did it: the link for the blog
3. Stop saying Women in your company are not asking for Parity.
You know quite well that you keep your salary information secret.
Moreover you tell your employees to not share that information with
their fellow employees.
So how can women ask when they don't even know if they are being discriminated against!
Do I believe we should ask if our salary is equal to the men in our same
job title? YES!!
But this is blaming the victim!! Why should women have to ask for parity when
companies already know who's not getting what they should??
Pleeeease!
So to all the Companies out there; if Salesforce can do it so can you!
Lastly if you do not have Parity in your company stop pretending you
support the women in your company. I've seen so many postings on
Facebook and Linked In celebrating how some companies have signed
on to make sure women are represented at every level in their companies.
Having them at every level is truly not as important if you are paying
women less at that level then you pay men!!
Baseline support of women in the business arena is making sure they
get paid what a man does in that job. And lest you say it doesn't matter that
much being paid less then men means we have less $ to retire with, educate
our children with and support our families with.
Women, not having parity with men, in salaries in your companies
means you are dooming these women to less financial security for their
entire lives!!
So stop fooling around and do what Salesforce did. It's truly not that hard
and I, for one, already know you have the data to do it!
Susan
As always let us know what you think!

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!
Susan
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!

ADVANCED WOMEN MOVING FORWARD®
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!
