Organizations that don’t embrace the power of women will no doubt be left behind - the good ol’ boys club is sure to become short-lived.Īs foreign as it is to think back 30 years ago, when women had to take men to the bank with them to get a business loan, this article will seem just as out of place 30 years from today when they’re getting ready to ring in 2038. With men and women supporting women in business, it’s impossible to dream a future that’s not radiant with possibilities, profitability and success. Women who had this type of support system are now able to do the same for other women. I’ve experienced this with my own biggest supporter - my husband, Jaime, who has consistently helped me see that anything is possible and that if anyone can do it, I can. The men who cared helped lift up women, encouraging them to follow their dreams. They may have persevered without succumbing to self-sabotaging thoughts. The women who came out of positively supported situations may not have experienced major equality setbacks, allowing them to be passionate about their causes and have strong self-esteem. These men have encouraged women to make their mark, whether through the work they do for others or the work they do for themselves by achieving their place with successful business ownership. Grandfathers, fathers, husbands, sons, male co-workers and friends - these wonderful men made an impression and an impact on helping support and develop wonderful women. Whose ongoing beliefs and support fail to make the news. It’s only fitting that we purposely focus on showing our gratitude as well as giving space to these men In a year when gratitude also was a trending topic, the everyday gentleman was slighted. While many of the headlines were ones no one wanted to see, the ones never written deserve to be. It might be entirely possible that headlines regarding women’s issues resonated across the world more so in 2017 than in any year of memory.
