New National Leadership Network for Women Kicks Off with Free Tele-Summit January 30, 2009
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) January 20, 2009 — The Redwood Sisterhood (http://www.redwoodsisterhood.com) is a brand new national leadership support network for women that uplifts and develops women to be personally and professionally empowered. President/Founder Patty Sadallah says "The tele-summit is a perfect introduction to what the Redwood Sisterhood is all about. I've chosen expert leaders for the universal value of their ideas, inside the business world and out. It will be exciting, fun and easy. If you can dial a phone, you can participate." The line up for the tele-summit is as follows:
• Robin Hood Marketing: Stealing Corporate Savvy to Sell Just Causes by Katya Andresen, CEO Network for Good and Author of Robin Hood Marketing.
• Emotionally Intelligent Leadership: Accelerate your Potential by Dr. Marcy Levy Shank man, Professor at Case Western Reserve University and Co-Author of Emotionally Intelligent Leadership
• Effectively Marketing on the Internet: Positioning your Website in the Center Ring by Wendy Suto, President/CEO of Search Circus.
• Networking in Today's Turbulent Times by Mary Charles Blakebrough, Principal and Career Coach for McBreakthrough and frequent Blog Talk Radio presenter.
• Balancing Work & Family: Having it all without Losing your Mind by Kim Langley, Sought after Speaker/Trainer and Principal of LifeBalance Enterprises.
• Work from Home and Love your Life: The Home-based Business Lifestyle by Pat Pell, Director of Home-Based Business Network for the Council of Smaller Enterprises
Patty Sadallah brings 27 years of organizational development consulting, coaching, training and mentoring to the Sisterhood. Sadallah says "Every woman is a leader, no matter what job she holds. Any woman that has the responsibility of raising children has one of the most important leadership roles of them all." Sadallah continues; "Women lead differently than men. Effective women lead with quiet strength, wisdom, by example and through strong relationships." The Redwood Sisterhood is about using modern-day technology to bring diverse women together to learn and share life-enriching skills that allow them to develop personally and professionally.
The inspiration for the membership community came from the example of the redwood trees, Sadallah says. "The Redwoods are among the oldest, largest and strongest trees on the planet. They are shallow rooted trees that would fall if they were alone. Their root systems intertwine, making them indestructibly strong. I wanted that type of support for the women of the Sisterhood." Redwood Sister Sandy Schneider explains it like this: "Every sister is an expert in her own world, and just like the giant redwood trees that grow from tiny seedlings and support one another from their joined roots to the clouds and sky, we can grow strong and stronger, and achieve much more together than apart. As the world grows more technical and complicated, it's up to us to find ways to use that technology to bring our business associates, family and friends closer together, instead of the opposite. That's one of the things that the Redwood Sisterhood means to me: It's a sisterhood to benefit not only ourselves and our businesses, but everyone whose lives we touch."
"There is something for every woman at the Redwood Sisterhood" clarifies Sadallah. "It is really a go-to hub. The web savvy social networkers will appreciate the website's interactive capabilities, while women who crave face to face connections will love making supportive connections at the monthly Sister Circle events, while lifelong learners will appreciate the wealth of educational opportunities on the site. All members receive bi-monthly CDs in the mail of the weekly book summary podcasts, teleclasses and peer coaching calls." The organization plans to grow by finding expert leaders in cities and towns all over the United States to facilitate monthly face-to-face events. Membership is $25 per month or $225 one time annual fee with all members receiving the first month free as a risk-free trial.
