Survivors. Officers. Ambassadors. Visionaries. Rockets.
Wall Street trailblazer Janet Hanson introduces us to the extraordinary women of 85 Broads, the independent network she founded in 1997 for women professionals who currently or formerly worked for investment banking powerhouse Goldman Sachs. The name of the network is a humorous play on Goldman's address, 85 Broad Street in NYC. Today this phenomenal network has grown into a global community that reaches across cultures, borders, career paths, and generations to connect and empower over 18,000 members around the world.
More Than 85 Broads introduces us to a remarkable group of strong, passionate, and talented women who all define success on their own terms. Along with Janet Hanson's riveting account of how she built 85 Broads into a groundbreaking global network community, each of these women candidly tells her own powerful story.
Meet Trailblazers who need no roadmap or formula for success –just their own optimism, confidence, and gut instincts. Meet Adventurers who push past boundaries and find new ways to define success for themselves. Meet Parents who are building true partnerships rather than just "balancing" their lives and careers. And meet Visionaries who are answering the questions: "What's my passion? "What's my destiny?' "What's my gift?"
Whether you're striving to align your passion with
your career, standing at a crossroads deciding which path to choose,
or well on the road to fulfilling your lifelong dreams, you can tap
into the enormous power and potential of "some of the most incredible
women on the planet" and...
- Discover how building a strong network gives you your own unique platform for creating new opportunities, connections, and personal definitions for success
- Learn how women are blazing their own trails as business leaders, entrepreneurs, survivors, philanthropists, and parents.
- Find out how smart, successful and courageous women really think about their careers, their lives, their families, and their futures – all in their own voices.
The most powerful and courageous voice any of us can listen to is our own, but it is often the one we spend the least time cultivating and tuning into as we yield to the demands and perceived "boundaries" of our professional and personal lives.
