A final reflection on last week's PEWIN AGM: Quantum physics asserts that “reality comes into being through an interaction.” Nobody understands this principle better than the members of PEWIN. Because when we interact, a new reality is created – for one another, for our firms and organizations, and for the advancement of women leaders, past, present, and future. This year’s PEWIN Pinnacle brought together women from diverse backgrounds who radiated energy and enthusiasm around a shared purpose: To build each other up. Our day was high on the energy scale but also on the authenticity meter, with positivity flowing among our members as they found common ground and exchanged meaningful insights. We are not just networking; we are laying the groundwork for long-term relationships that transcend “business as usual.” Each interaction left a lasting impression and deepened the sense that our connections will continue to grow and flourish long after the day is done. Thank you to everyone who was a part of it.

"Show up for women" - We are so excited to have Alison Fragale join us next week at our sold-out members meeting - PEWIN Pinnacle! Congratulations on today's launch. We can't wait to dive in!
Together we can prove them wrong. When I sold Likeable Badass, I told the editors who were bidding for it that two things were non-negotiable: 1. The title 2. That this was a book for women If they didn't like either of these things, they shouldn't buy my book. No one argued about #1. But #2 was the subject of much discussion. I already had a disadvantage as a female author - our books don't sell as well as men's. Now I was cutting off half of the market by writing only for women. Why not write for everyone, especially since the subject of the book - how to get more status and power - is relevant for all? That's how you sell books. I want to write for women, I told them, because it's an audience I know and care about deeply. And I want to practice what I preach: I can't advise women how to get credit for their value if I don't believe in my own value. I believe that women deserve every ounce of advantage they can get, so why not let them in on the secrets first? I also believe that women aren't the only people who care about women. Men will support this book, too, for all kinds of reasons - and they have. Help me prove the doubters wrong. Show up for women. Show up for women who write books. Show up for women who raise kids. Show up for women who run companies. Show up for women who do all the things and make it look so easy, even though it's very, very hard. Likeable Badass drops Tuesday! Wouldn't it be awesome if the hot new release was a book by a woman, for women? I think so. I hope you do, too! xo Alison #personaldevelopment #careers #leadership
