November 12th, 2008
Blog post at Women in Joy – Ask Coach Laura.
Once again sparkling speaker and author Sheryl Roush has compiled a beautiful collection of wisdom for women in business. Recently, her book, Heart of a Woman in Business was released.
Whether you want to be inspired or informed, this book is a compilation of tremendous wisdom and creative writing. Sheryl Roush has outdone herself. She has put together a group of amazing women and their body of knowledge for every working woman. Just by flipping through the book I’ve already learned how to take a better photo, leadership tips and Benjamin Franklin’s Thirteen Virtues, how to be a more effective leader, learn to cultivate abundance, to simply reminding you why you are an incredible woman. There are inspirational quotes, communication tips and more. Pick up this book because it may have just the tip you need.
It is an honor to be a contributor amongst so many other brilliant women–80 contributing authors. Look for my story entitled, "Rejuvenating the Heart of a Success Oriented Woman."
This is an incredible book. Once you have it, you’ll want a copy for each of your friends. So check it out today…

Heart of a Woman in Business:
Stories, Strategies and Skills for
Business Success,
by Sheryl L. Roush
Heart of a Woman in Business
by Sheryl L. Roush
A woman in business is like no other
Multi-brilliant at work, and often too, a mother.
Guided by vision to make a difference in this world,
Reporting for service, with her hair even curled.
Ready to go, whenever the need
She knows in her heart, there’s a calling to feed.
To do right, to speak up, determined to succeed
A role model that plants the possibility seed.
Knows who she is, right down to the core
Her essence, her passion—shine all the more!
She’s in charge with a handle on it all.
At the office, at home, or at the mall.
Even in the depth of all she may know
Realizes there’s still plenty room to grow.
So energetic, creative and fun…
Early rise, there’s much to be done!
She still finds time to laugh and to play
Sacred time too, to kneel and to pray
It comes from inside, driven by vision,
Get on board – she’s on a great mission!
Her daily prayer resides in God’s grace
Serving others from her heart sets the pace
Making use of her talent, wisdom and skill
From strengths and trust in Divine will.
Gentle, compassionate, loving and strong
In this sisterhood of success you want to belong
Anything she puts her heart to she can do
She’s not alone sis’ta – as you can too!
The road to get here has been quite a ride
“Call me ‘Woman’– it’s my source of pride!”
Come along, she’s blazin’ new trail
A woman in business—whom we all hail!

October 20-24 – Stats of Interest
More than 70 years ago, President Herbert Hoover designated the third week of October as "National Business Women’s Week."
Founded in 1919, Business and Professional Women/USA (BPW/USA), a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization committed to career advancement and professional development for female professionals nationwide, has celebrated this annual awareness-raising event ever since. Each year, most of the Washington, D.C.-based organization’s 2,000 local chapters honor outstanding businesswomen and corporations that value female employees.
Here are some current facts and figures about women and the labor force that can help human resources specialists put women and work into perspective for their organizations’ own culture and diversity initiatives.
1. There were 61 million women in the labor force in 1998. Seventy-four percent (45 million) were employed full-time and 26 percent (16 million) worked part-time.
2. In 1999, 60 percent of women age 16 and over were either working or looking for work, Nearly three out of four women between the ages of 20 and 54 were labor force participants.
3. Women’s share of the labor force reached 46 percent in 1994 and has remained at this level. By 2005, women are expected to make up 48 percent of the labor force.
4. In 1998, 40.7 percent of employed women worked in technical, sales, and administrative support occupations, 31.4 percent worked in managerial and professional fields, and 17.5 percent worked in service occupations.
5. In 1998, 3.7 million women were multiple job-holders, compared with 4.2 million men.
6. Women accounted for half of the 5.6 million contingent workers (temporary help agency workers, independent contractors, part-time and temporary workers) in 1997.
7. The labor force participation rate for working mothers in 1998 was 71.8 percent. The participation rate for married mothers with children under a year old was 57.6 percent, and the rate for unmarried mothers with children under a year old was 58.8 percent.
8. In 1999, 255,000 women in their 70s, 80s, and 90s were employed or actively seeking employment in the United States, an 80 percent increase since 1985. The U.S. Social Security Administration projects that more than 7 million people aged 65 and over will fill the labor force by 2020, and 3 million of them will be women.

October 20-24 is National Business Women’s Week®
Heart of a Woman in Business| 1 Comment »National Business Women’s Week®
A Business and Professional Women/USA Signature Event
October 20-24, 2008 is National Business Women’s Week®
Since 1928 Business and Professional Women/USA (BPW/USA) has sponsored National Business Women’s Week®. Each year during the third week of October, BPW/USA’s members across the country take the opportunity to celebrate and acknowledge the accomplishments of workingwomen.
The objectives of National Business Women’s Week® (NBWW) are:
- To promote full participation and equity for women in the workplace;
- To publicize the achievements of business and professional women on the local, state and national level;
- To publicize the objectives and programs of BPW/USA as they relate to the millions of business and professional women across the country.
Over the years, National Business Women’s Week® has become an event widely recognized by public and private institutions and local communities. In the past, the President of the United States, at the request of BPW/USA, has declared the third full business week in October as National Business Women’s Week®. On state and local levels, governors and mayors issue similar proclamations. Each state and community tailors events and activities to meet its needs. Activities include WOMENomics Forums, Woman of the Year Awards, Women Joining Forces programming, Employer of the Year Awards, displays and exhibits, dinners and educational programs.
The History
The idea for the National Business Women’s Week® (NBWW) originated with Emma Dot Partridge, Executive Secretary of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs from 1924 – 1927. The first annual observance was held April 15-22, 1928, when Business and Professional Women/USA President Lena Madesin Phillips opened NBWW with a nationally broadcast speech. In her remarks, she stated that the purpose of the week was "to focus public attention upon a better business woman for a better business world."
BPW Local Organizations implemented daily programs designed to call attention to the mission and achievements of BPW/USA. Reports about activities for those early observances tell of many successful events throughout the country including: Legislative Day devoted to national, state and local legislation of interest to women; Education Day emphasizing the need for equitable educational opportunities; Club Rally Day for prospective new members; Community Day honoring leaders in the community; and Goodwill Day devoted to working with other women’s organizations.
From this early effort, NBWW has grown into a nationwide salute to all workingwomen, as well as an opportunity to spotlight issues of importance to workingwomen. In more recent years activities have included Women of the Year Awards, Employer of the Year Awards, Individual Development workshops, and issue panel discussions.
NBWW was moved to the third full week of October in 1938 so that Local Organizations could use NBWW as a springboard for their new year’s programs. U.S. President Herbert Hoover was the first president to issue a letter recognizing NBWW and the contributions and achievements of workingwomen. Presidents since then have always issued a letter acknowledging the important role women play in the nation’s economy.

Rave Reviews for Heart of a Woman in Business book!
Heart of a Woman in Business| 5 Comments »Rave Reviews for Heart of a Woman in Business book!
First> Your Heart of a Woman in Business arrived in today’s mail, and of course, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Second> It is a handsome, eye-catching, compelling book … and that’s just from the outside! I have already read several excerpts from it, just by quickly leafing through it, and I found it hard to put down. I haven’t worked full time for a number of years now, Sheryl, and I must say that the little bit I read makes me regret getting out of the rat race and makes me ‘almost’ long to get back into it. I could identify with many of the first hand experiences some of your authors described. Thanks for stirring up some great memories of my past working days.
Third> You’ve got a winner here for sure, my friend. A lot of people will enjoy this book … not ‘just’ working women. As a matter of fact, even some business men could gain some worthwhile and needed insight into their female cohorts’ and associates’ thinking. I’m sure it could do a lot of guys a lot of good!
And finally> All success to you, my friend. You have done a magnificent job!

Heart of a Woman in Business
by Sheryl L. Roush
A woman in business is like no other
Multi-brilliant at work, and a great mother.
Guided by vision to make a difference in this world,
Reporting for service, with her hair even curled.
Ready to go, whenever the need
She knows in her heart, there’s a calling to feed.
To do right, to speak up, determined to succeed
A role model that plants the possibility seed.
Knows who she is, right down to the core
Her essence, her passion—shine all the more!
She’s in charge with a handle on it all.
At the office, at home, or at the mall.
Even in the depth of all she may know
Realizes there’s still plenty room to grow.
So energetic, creative and fun…
Early rise, there’s much to be done!
She still finds time to laugh and to play
Sacred time too, to kneel and to pray
It comes from inside, driven by vision,
Get on board – she’s on a great mission!
Her daily prayer resides in God’s grace
Serving others from her heart sets the pace
Making use of her talent, wisdom and skill
From strengths and trust in Divine will.
Gentle, compassionate, loving and strong
In this sisterhood of success you want to belong
Anything she puts her heart to she can do
She’s not alone sis’ta – as you can too!
The road to get here has been quite a ride
“Call me ‘Woman’– it’s my source of pride!”
Come along, she’s blazin’ new trail
A woman in business—whom we all hail!

Affirmations for a Woman in Business
My career is my choice of service, and my service is an extension of my love.
My career celebrates who I really am.
I am living my most pure essence, with ease and grace, living creatively every project, task, day.
I know in my heart “the right thing to do,” and with integrity and respect, I do it.
I honor myself for my choices.
By aligning with my calling, I am living my heart’s desire and my higher purpose.
With ease and grace, I make decisions.
Business and opportunities flow abundantly to me, because I am living my truth, living my passion, and living my calling.
I honor my body, listen to it, and nurture it.
Today and every day, I expect great things.
I open my heart, my mind, and my spirit to the Guidance of God.
I am willing to see my magnificence.
I am willing to receive all abundant gifts from the Universe.
I graciously receive praise and prosperity.
I honor my path as well as the path of others.

In the ongoing quest to understand myself and others, I often look for insight. Heart of a Woman is a treasure trove of inspirational insights into the hearts of women as they, and as men who love them, tell it. Sheryl Roush has compiled a wonderful resource that just makes you feel good for having picked it up and read an entry or two.
