Can you imagine women joining together to be the difference, that can make the difference?
Do you think traditional styles of leadership no longer serve us?
Are you looking for new role models of effective leadership?
If you said “yes” to any of these questions, then come join us at New Commons for an uncommon series as we look at how women leaders are bringing new practices to their lives, groups, teams, organizations and our world...to be the difference that matters.

2008 Soul at Work Cafes
|
This year, we will showcase through conversations that matter innovations that women are doing in these areas:
- Health Care
- Education
- Economic Parity/ Justice
Health care, not just about access to insurance and treatment, but about what makes us unhealthy and what can we do to promote more healthy behaviors, wellness, and take back our bodies and our minds from being polluted by food, air, Corporations, and dis-ease that our current economic model of excess pushes.
Education, not just about student performance it is about shaping a public institution that promotes learning, citizenship, and is a healthy and safe arena for all people. In fact, this is one institution where parent intervention (not just engagement), can make it a more healthy and responsive environment to our children and future.
Economic Parity/ Justice, more than equal pay for equal work, but about being the owners of our present and future economy. Women being entrepreneurial in a number of arenas: private, social, environment to make a real living by their work. We need to take our work back into our control yet realizing we have to evolve ourselves to embrace the awkwardness women have about money, financial independence, and creating an economy that is life serving not just money serving. So the question becomes how do we improve and sustain the commonwealth to create local, living economies for others too?
Plan to join us, our first cafe for 2008 with Amy Kalafa, filmmaker and one of the "Two Angry Moms" was a huge success! Click here for post event information.

From Birute Regine, Launch Cafe in October 2006"In a global environment and interconnected reality, it is women’s skills that are most needed and effective--their holistic view of the world, their ability to see interconnections between things, their relational intelligence, their tendencies toward collaboration and inclusion, their ability to empathize, are all keenly pertinent to our new global reality."
