Comment on Helping Poor Women through Microfinance by Amoah Isaac

I am highly delighted about the way things have been clarified in the texts. Please, there is this favour that I would like to ask from you especially the foundations involved in helping the poor. There is this association of poor street women, parents for that matter who are looking for just small amounts of money to start businesses in order to better their lives and get something to cater for their children.This association is found in Ghana and it was formed by the director of the light outreach foundation, Ghana office.The office had so far helped 50 of these 150 women to establish their own businesses.However, the office has run out of money and is therefore pleading with donor agencies and supportive institutions to help fund these women to get businesses of their own so as to get enough to feed themselves and their children who are the leaders of tomorrow.Thank you very much for deciding to help.

Comment on Hit Me with Your Best Shot: Performance Management Feedback by David Cooper

This is really good – another guideline for maximising 360 Degree Feedback would be to give equal weight to the ‘positives’ as well as the developmental messages in the report. Leveraging and capitalising on key strengths is an important part of the whole process

Comment on Top Financial Technologies Women Should Know About (part 2) by Rolf Andersson

Desr Sophie,

The Fast Active queue management Scalable Transmission Control (FAST) Protocol developed at CalTech has nothing to do with the FIX Adapted for STreaming (FAST) Protocol developed by FPL. As a result your article is a bit misleading. I would suggest that you clarify that you are referring to two distinct and very different initiatives. Please don’t hesitate to contact me or Rich Shriver should you need any additional information about the FPL FAST Protocol.

I found the conclusion of your article to be very interesting..I found that equally successful to have the same complex as their less financially successful peers. What I came to realize that you need to find someone who is happy with their place in the world regardless of education and income.

Comment on Confessions of an Office Newbie by Lou

Great read, I totally can relate. I usually start the day with a “Good morning” which degenerates into a grunt by the early afternoon.

Comment on Ask-A-Recruiter: No Magic Bullet Answers by Ask a Manager

Ask a Manager — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 22:31:58 +0000

This is SO TRUE. I love this post! This sort of thing is like asking what the best things to say on a first date are. There’s no right answer — it totally depends on who you are and what you’re like. The idea is to be yourself and find out if there’s a mutual match or not, not to try to trick your way into a job (or second date) by being something you’re not.

Comment on Women & Networking Effectively by Jane

Jane — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 19:45:42 +0000

To cite the article: “The events were intended for gorging the appetite and feeding the ego”. No they weren’t. They were intended for the profitable production of business.

Networking for networking’s sake is all very nice, but ultimately if you are going to cut it in the professional world, you smile, sip your fizzy water, and home in on the big prospects who will provide you with your income stream for the forseeable time - and schmooze the hell out of them while you stay stone cold sober.

What you don’t do is scarf the eats, glug the grog, chit-chat with your friends and head for home thinking you did good. You didn’t.

Comment on Breaking the “Quant Jock” Stereotype by Lyann Li

Lyann Li — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 14:55:41 +0000

I love math and computer science and quantitative finacne seems like a perfect fit to me.
How is work life balance for quant people? Do all quant jobs require long hours? Women do have to worry more about raising a family.

Hey Natalie, excellent article ! Being involved in telemarketing sales the last several years it echoes my feelings and frustrations to a T. After a while you just develop a thick skin and let the bad responses roll off your back

Comment on PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Gender Advisory Council Gives Support Where Professional Women Need It by Terry Monahan

Terry Monahan — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 18:57:42 +0000

I was in the professional services industry for 30 years and this topic was always being researched - but little effective action. I’m impressed that PwC has broken through a barrier and is making headway. I am especially interested in hearing more about the mentor program, and if there are opportunities to get involved as a mentor.
