I recently had a powerful conversation with a Bolder Sister exec at IBM. Although my interview with her was for another publication, I couldn’t help but borrow a few nuggets of wisdom she shared with me. She mentioned how she saw a need and filled it with Meetups and hands on workshops for the technology-challenged, during her 27-year career. This powerhouse didn’t wait for anyone … Continue reading What Exactly Are You Waiting For?
As women we are given a few of life’s most precious gifts. Motherhood, marriage and sisterhood are the areas of my life where I’m usually the most proud. The great thing about life as Bolder Sisters is that we are passionate enough to manage each of those roles and yet still savvy enough to run corporations. We’re more than just pretty faces, lipstick and heels. … Continue reading I am a Cara Woman
It’s so funny, I just shared this phrase with a group of adult students I help to prepare for jobs. I know how frustrating it can be waiting for “your turn” so to speak.

Of course one being not everyone is going to support you and the other because I don’t typically want a bunch of people asking me about my plans. You may be … Continue reading Over 600 People Know My Plan
Recently I attended the AWBC Women’s Conference and Egretha Awards Ceremony here in Chicago. Every year (for the last 4 years) I have participated in this event and was even honored with an Egretha Award myself. I am always more inspired than I was the year before, and this year wasn’t any different. There is also something about this event that tends to really bring … Continue reading Words of Wisdom on Speaking Up
I was having a conversation with my best friend the other day about how fast the year is flying. We were trying to wrap our heads around the fact that it’s already the end of July and only 5 months left in the year!
