Eleanor Roosevelt Gets MY Vote for the $20
Imagine if our money carried positive, uplifting messages such as: “Be Authentic!” “Go Lead Something!” I think Eleanor Roosevelt would welcome this. In fact, at 10 TRAITS Institute, we’ve already placed the image of Eleanor Roosevelt on our 10 TRAITS “virtual” money as part of a leadership training game. Rather than wait until 2030, the deadline suggested by U.S. Treasury’s Jack Lew for changing the face on the $20, let’s make it happen now. If America could send men to the moon in the 1960’s, we can certainly retool the U.S. Treasury to place the FACE of a woman on the $20, by 2020. Alexia Parks is a Virtual Mentor with the United Nations, award-winning entrepreneur, and Founder of 10 TRAITS Leadership Institute. Join us online, May 16th as we launch our for-credit and CEU leadership training programs. We offer the ONLY leadership training in the world based on the mindful, compassionate, diplomatic FEMALE brain. WEB:...
A SMILE Is Bio-Chemical, Not A Gender “Game”
How often, when, and WHY should women smile? Here’s one answer. I’ll tell you why it is time to bring the word “SMILE” back to its origins. While a smile can be twisted, faked, turned upside down, and turned around from a complement into an insult; while a smile can make a person feel victimized, or vindicated…, in the end it’s none of the above. When we separate the act of smiling from all of its labels, it is simply a bio-chemical reaction to a good feeling…., or the “learned” ability to create a good feeling in ourselves and others. I feel good. I smile. You see me smiling, and you smile back. With the power of a magnetic force, a smile draws people toward us. Turn a smile upside down and the reverse is true, people move away from us (literally or metaphorically). Before I began writing about it, and talking about it, I discovered its power quite by accident. I was having a “bad hair day.” I had left the house in a hurry to do some errands, and then decided to stop by my favorite cafe for a coffee. Walking inside the cafe, I caught the reflection of myself in the window, and I was horrified. My hair! Look at my hair! I forgot to comb my hair. Now, I’m of the generation that remembers the famous bathing suit ad: “Just wear a smile and a Jansen.” What the ad was reminding anxious young women was this: “Don’t worry about your weight, or your shape. Just wear a smile and a Jansen.” So I auto-smiled as I...

Her Story: The Evolution of Women As Leaders
The story of women from the dawn of human history to modern times, evolved in community and at the hearth. Because of this, the social mind of the female brain has evolved in ways that are uniquely suited to manage the complexities of today’s volatile, interconnected world. The social mind of today’s modern women, like women over history, is able to understand the unmet, unspoken needs of others, and freely express emotions. Women, are highly skilled at social communication to the benefit of the larger community. Over millennia, the skills associated with social networking, including a woman’s ability to interact with, collaborate with others, and balance out the diverse interests of others. Why are these skills urgently needed in the world today? Because the networking, community-building, social skills of the female mind makes it easy for women to cooperate and collaborate with others. They are able to interacts with others and balance out the diverse interests of others. A story in the Huffington Post on the rise of an empire of women as community leaders in Syrian refugee camps offers a modern day example of this and calls out to our humanity, our human-kindness, for support. To date, The Kayany Foundation, led by its founder Nora Jumblatt, and in partnership with the American University of Beirut and UNESCO, has built five schools so far, including an all-girls high school. The all-girls school was created in the summer of 2015, in partnership with Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafza on her 18th birthday.
