42 Rules for Creating "WE"

Yesterday morning ZINO Society VP of Business Development, Mary Holmes and I attended the Key4Women breakfast event sponsored by Key Bank at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Seattle at the invitation of Key Bank executive, Bill Boucher, Senior VP of Marketing. Shannon Bell, Key Bank Vice President of Key4Women emceed and facilitated the event which began with women bringing “gently used” handbags, scarves and jewelry to share with Dress for Success, the non-profit organization that helps promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and career development tools.

The event featured Judith Glaser, creator of “The Creating WE Institute” and mutual good friend and book collaborator with Judith, Cindy Tortorici. Cindy also created The Link for Women, a Northwest based, affiliate network that connects and mentors women. Judith and Cindy have collaborated on the new Amazon best-selling book “42 Rules for Creating WE” which shares wisdom from multiple authors and collaborators on how to put the “I” into the word “Team”. The entirely female audience members were all engaged and involved as Judith and Cindy conducted a workshop-style presentation.
