Challenges!

Incredible,

The French magazine "Challenges" gives women 5 tips in order to become "The woman Headquarters would die to hire":

1/ Realize that being a woman is an issue

2/ Clearly announce your objectives and ambition

3/ If you don't ask for something, it won't happen

4/ Working is good, showing it is better

5/ Women networking

I'm happy to be cited in this article and yes I'm still interested in a VP position ;o)

*** Las Vegas ***

Incredible,

I spent last week in Las Vegas' Venetian Hotel for a conference.  The principle is that a hotel is built around a casino and outside you find other hotels built around other casinos and then the desert ...

You can within a day visit Venice's grand canal shoppes, Munich's HofbrÀuhaus and the Eiffel Tower!

Special thanks to Kenneth for the pictures :o)

I am your father ...

Incredible,

Within the context of a study on women's way to network, I have been interviewed today by a journalist.

I had the opportunity to develop my "I am your father" theory that tends to proove that a male manager will, even unconsciously, favor a men's application or promotion.

My thoughts should be available soon in the famous french magazine Le Nouvel Observateur and Challenge.

So my tip for each woman is: if you meet a top executive woman, try to convince her to become your mother or at least your mentor ;o)

Don't Panic !!

Incredible,

I went to the cinema with a friend from Paris (Hello Jacques!).We arrived a little bit later in order not to see the ads. But the point is that in the Netherlands you can't buy tickets once the movie has started ... So we decided to see another movie called "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".

I discovered the fantastic story of an ordinary guy, his friend Ford, an alien and the Vogons. The adventures of these galactical heroes were unexpected and very inventive. Suddenly, I remembered that a couple of years ago, I've been given (thank you Natalie) a collection of science-fiction books,  written by Douglas Adams, about an ordinary guy, his friend Ford .... !!!

The galaxy is a small world ;o)
