ASK ALEXIA
Dear Alexia, Can you please explain why the MALE and FEMALE brain are different If you take a look at science in the way I have, and my work is based on 40-years worth of research across a dozen fields of science, the science shows that women have 10 unique traits that are hardwired in the female brain. And these traits just so happen to be exactly the opposite of those hardwired in the male brain. There is no right or wrong, it’s not that women are better than men, or men are better than women. It’s just that the brains of men and women were hardwired differently, throughout our evolutionary history. For the men, who’s job description was “hunter” their primary job was to hunt down and bring home food to the women, who were either pregnant, nursing, and had children at their feet. It was the job of the women to ensure the survival of the children. Women were a repository of life affirming knowledge. Once we understand this, this dynamic synergy between men and women, it forever changes the way we look at, and think about women. And I use the term *dynamic synergy* here because we often think of men as great leaders, and yes, they do have 10 wonderful traits. In fact I have a grandson Daniel. I love my grandson and I’ve called him “Daniel the Great” all of his life and he like the other men in my family, have 10 wonderful traits. However evolutionary biology has also hardwired 10 traits into the female brain. And these 10 traits of women – including...
The most disruptive IDEA in America?
Could THIS be the most disruptive idea in America: The evolution of women’s leadership from the home and the hearth to the White House. As an expert on The New Science of the Female BRAIN, my work shows that women are uniquely suited to manage high levels of complexity during highly stressful, volatile times. In an online report, I draw upon 40-years worth of research across a dozen fields of science, including neurobiology, the neuroplastic brain, split-brain research, the psychology of perception, and both cultural and physical anthropology. ALEXIA PARKS is a Virtual Mentor with the United Nations, an author, and one of Newsweek’s “50 People Who Matter Most On The Internet.” She is also the founder of the 10 TRAITS Women’s Leadership Training Program with training applications for all women, of all ages, in all countries. h/t: women, leadership, White House, science, neuroplasticity, neuroplastic brain, neuroscience, split-brain research, psychology, cultural anthropology, physical anthropology, hardwired, success, politics, Election 2016...
Success TIPS for Women For 2015
Success TIPS for 2015 – from The Most Powerful Women in the World 1st Place Winner: Rehmah Kasule. Many of you know that I am a virtual mentor with the United Nations. The woman I have mentored over the past year is a champion of women and girls. She has been working to lift 200 young women out of the slums of Kampala, Uganda by teaching them micro entrepreneurship, providing mentorship and doing leadership training,and she has been successful. #1. Success has less to do with hard work and more to do with massive focus on your few best opportunities. #2. Why resist change when it’s the main source of your growth? #3. The more you invest in growing and developing your mindset and way of seeing the world, the more everything you touch transforms in a breathtakingly positive way. #4. Pursuing perfection really does matter (in a world highly accepting of mediocrity). #5. Spending full days with zero technology to refuel or do important work is a game-changer. #6. Doing something super-nice for at least one stranger a day gives them a gift and an even larger one to yourself. #7. Adore your parents. You’ll miss them when they’re gone. #8. The smartest thing you can do to grow a great company is to first sweat getting A-players only onto your team and then sweat training and developing them so they play their A-game. #9. Most tv is toxic. #10. Have the discipline to clean out all the energy-draining people in your life. You really do rise or fall to the level of your associations. #11. Doing huge dreams...
How Love Lifts Us Over the Hurdles of Life
There is a pattern to life, and a pace. A successful person learns how to live fully in each moment and see it for what it is, not what they want it to be. They know that life is not a race, that comes with “overnight” success. Like an athlete training for a race, they know that life is more like a marathon. That each hurdle they face and overcome, strengthens them. They grow stronger. They know that it is the pace, not the race, that helps them achieve success in any endeavor they choose. Like them, we can apply the lessons of a long distance marathon runner to set and achieve high goals. We can assess our strengths and weaknesses. We can set higher goals, again and again. Looking forward, it is our resolve to grow, to learn, to breathe in life more fully, that fills us with hope. In each moment, as we learn to pace ourselves to handle the ups and downs of life, we begin to discover our true potential. We learn how to “be all we can be” in every moment. Then when confronted with hurdle that seems too high to overcome, messages from the heart, delivered through the spoken voice, the written word, the healing touch of a hand, and even a simple act of kindness will lift us up and over the tragedies, suffering, or painful moments of life. These “teachable” moments that some might view as setbacks are also one way that life reminds us to slow down and take a deeper breath, to pace ourselves. Renewed, we stand up once...
