We have female astronauts and prime ministers\, women are successfully managing their own businesses\, more wo men than men are even pursuing advanced degrees. But the fact remains that across the globe women are still not paid equally to men and women are st ill not represented equally in leadership roles. We’ve heard the numbers before (most recently from Sheryl Sandberg and Anne-Marie Slaughter): Out of 190 heads of state\; 9 are women. Of all the people in parliament in t he world\, 13 percent are women. In the corporate sector\, the share of wo men who hold top jobs and board seats is no more than 15 percent. Citi exe cutive and award winning author Marie Claire Lim Moore believes that if we want more women in leadership roles\, we can’t underestimate the import ance of balance. If we want more women in leadership roles\, she argues\, we need more women to pursue both professional success and personal fulfil lment. If more women could strike this balance\, more women would reach le adership positions across all sectors of society. In this entertaining tal k\, Claire will be sharing personal stories and inspirations from the best -selling book she wrote during her maternity leave. In addition to amusing anecdotes about her “immigrant experience” growing up in Canada and t he US with ‘80s sitcoms and Philippine People Power demonstrations\, Cla ire will explain why women need to make their own rules\, why one definiti on of success for her is achieving an integrated life and why now more tha n ever it’s critical to connect with other women. Her stories will reson ate with people of any culture and inspire women everywhere to find their balance.
