The Female Brain is Hardwired for 21st Century Leadership
When a U.S. team of scientists at the University of Pennsylvania broke the news that men and women’s brains were “hardwired differently,” I received a flood of congratulatory emails from family and friends who congratulated me with praise similar to that offered to a mother announcing the birth of a new child. The most compelling was from my grandson, now a junior at Stanford, who was the first to send me the news link, via text message. It was especially poignant because I had given him a copy of my report: Hardwired – The 10 Major Traits of Women That Can Save the World, based on what I called “The New Science of the Woman’s Brain,” when it first came out, 18 months ago.

This science-based validation of my work, and my grandson’s text message, gives me hope. Until now, he had never read my book. And over the past year, my public talks have attracted only a handful of people from academia and science including a former president of Babson College, who pronounced it “Terrific! Powerful!” and a medical doctor who proclaimed: “I have attended 100′s, if not 1,000′s of presentations, and this was one of the best!” Now on the threshold of a new era, we are entering the DMZ, a safe zone between the Age of Competition and the Age of Collaboration, where men and women are discovering what I have been saying all along:...
