Women’s Executive Circle of New York (WECNY) has collaborated with Cornell University’s Institute for Women and Work to help improve the standing of women in business leadership positions. Together, we have conducted a quantitative research study that evaluates the state of women in executive positions in the top 100 public companies headquartered in NY.

As many of you loyal Glass Hammer readers know, we love the practical and down-to-earth financial advice for women offered by personal finance guru Suze Orman. In a recent interview with a Glass Hammer contributor, Orman explained that she didn’t buy into gender differences regarding how men and women think about and handle their money until five years into her Emmy Award-winning financial show, The Suze Orman Show, on CNBC. After listening to five years of callers’ questions and observing her own friends’ relationships with money, she began examining the differences in how women and men handle money.
The program focuses on self-assessment, career visioning, and goal setting; academic enrichment in business fundamentals; and updates on key business and IT skills.
A workshop designed to improve the effectiveness of your communication to others.
Everywoman is hosting an event in partnership with Business Link East, designed to offer women the skills to appear confident and credible in personal and business situations.
For this second installment of business book reviews, our editorial staff has reviewed two of their recent favorites:
- Trade Up! Five Steps for Redesigning your Leadership and Life from the Inside Out, by Rayona Sharpnack
- Spiral Up: and other Management Secrets Behind Wildly Successful Initiatives, by Jane Linder.
As you might imagine from their upwardly mobile titles, both books provide advice and encouragement to women looking to move up in the ranks at work, and harness the power and confidence to succeed in life. Sort of like the literary version of buying a coveted handbag or treating yourself to some full-fat ice cream, both of these books are a great start to a career pick-me-up.
The rise of Gen X is changing the focus from the Old Guard to CIO’s and tech. Join a lively discussion about this changing landscape and how you can be effected.

A few weeks ago, I was addressing a gathering of the Finance Women’s Association in New York City. They invited me because of my book, Spiral Up, which talks about the surprising lessons we have to learn from wildly successful initiatives. It turns out that conventional “good management practice” seems to be exactly the wrong way to go if you want to accomplish amazing things. So the brought me in to share some good stories and counter-intuitive advice.
