A 21st Century Approach to Women's Leadership Initiatives with Avivah Wittenberg-Cox
Acknowledging the institutional and personal challenges women seeking to occupy the C-suite face, many organizations launch women's networks, mentoring partnerships and sponsorship programs to address the problem. Avivah Wittenberg-Cox thinks this is time and money ill spent, though she knows the need for action is real: gender imbalance in today's public and private sectors prevents organizations from tapping into both male and female halves of the talent pool and market. As CEO of the leading gender consultancy 20-first, Avivah works with progressive companies interested in building gender-balanced organizations and knows what it takes to create real institutional change. In a no-holds-barred discussion with Host Kate Ebner on March 3, Avivah will explain what what steps leaders can take to change their organizational culture and why more women "leaning in" isn't necessarily the answer. Don't miss this show with one of the world's leading experts on women's leadership.

Following a Family Vision Around the World by Rachel Wold
Tutoring children in a Nairobi slum, touring Croatia by bike, studying yoga in Nepal, marveling at ancient architecture in Egypt: this is a sampling of the amazing activities the Weinberg family (parents Kim and Larry and kids Alexa and Dillon) did on their 9-month trip around the world in 2010-11. Many families or individuals dream of taking a break from their daily routines to go on a grand adventure but few actually follow through and make the dream happen. So how do you plan for a trip like this, execute it, and ease back into your normal life?
To hear the fully story of the Weinbergs' adventure, click here or here for the iTunes podcast. Their advice for you? "Just do it!"
