Happy Thanksgiving from The Glass Hammer!

By Melissa J. Anderson (New York City)

As we draw closer to the end of another year, The Glass Hammer’s team is taking time off to reflect upon the things we are thankful for.

This has been a big year for us at Evolved People Media. We hosted several successful events for professional women in New York and London, published interesting new research, and launched a new consulting and training division – all while continuing to publish inspirational profiles and practical advice on how to get to your next career level.

Our community of ambitious women is growing, and for that we are thankful. This year we have focused on celebrating the growing power of influential women throughout the financial and professional services. As more women ascend to the top of the ladder, they open new pathways for women at every step along the way. That’s good for women and companies. We believe (and research proves) that a more diverse workforce builds stronger firms.

We’re thankful for the trailblazing women who have made it possible for all of us to climb higher – in that vein, here are a few of our recent posts on the growing power of women to change the world.

• Ambition to Lead: Exercise Your Power
• Empowering the World’s Women Would Fuel Economic Growth
• Practice Makes Perfect: Little Ways to Ask for More
• Wall Street Women and the Power of Networking
• Why We Need to Keep Celebrating Powerful Women
