10 Powerful Career Strategies for Women
Education is, by far, woman’s most powerful secret weapon, and we have been preparing for a sneak attack for at least the last decade. In 1975 a majority of the college degrees awarded went to men. This was true at the associate, bachelor’s, master’s, first professional, and doctorate levels. By 2000, a majority of the associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees were awarded to women, according to the Postsecondary Education Opportunity Research Letter.

Give yourself permission to grieve the loss of your job and the identity you had wrapped up in your position. Keep in mind that, as we adjust to a change, we typically go through four stages: denial, resistance, exploration, and commitment. Honor where you are and expect to move into to the next stage as you’re ready. You may find that you bounce back and forth a few times before completely moving out of one stage and into the next. That’s okay. It’s all part of the process

What Our Members Say…
One of the things I love the most about the Pocono Women is that it’s holistic. Yes, we are a group of professional women who benefit from networking and sharing ideas with other women business owners, but the icing on the cake is that the group is focused on the well-being of the whole person-mind, body, spirit and business! As women, we always give so much to others, and being a part of this group is a gift I give to myself.
