Sisterhood

---

And if not in this time, when? As we end , and forge ahead into yet another New Year, I charge my fellow women of the world to make as one of your New Year Resolutions a pledge to love and support other women. Not just the women in your life, who you love and who love you.

I want to challenge all of us who can, to bring other women along into our ranks. Talk is cheap ladies. What are you doing day-to-day to lift other women as you climb? The fact is this: It isn't all about you or your success.

It is about the success of all women. I want to challenge women of this time to make a way for women of the next time to succeed beyond our wildest dreams. I want to ask you to make a mental pledge to the following when it comes to how you interact with, react to, and treat other women:. Being a witch to another woman violates the woman code that we all instinctively know is how we should conduct ourselves.

I promise you this, if you are mean to other women, harsh to other women it will come back to you and on you in spades. Why generate that kind of karma for yourself; just be kind.

So why won't you give it to another woman who is younger, new at the job, trying to make her way in the world? Talk, do not text. Talk, do not email. Talk, do not gossip.

Talk, do not tell your inner circle what she did wrong or how they should avoid her. Go to the woman you have an issue with and talk it out. Stop with the petty school girl antics and talk. And most importantly, stop "going off" on other women and erupting. You do irreparable damage to trust, and to the sisterhood. If one on one talking does not work, or is not advisable in the situation, the Bible says for you church girls that you can take a witness, a mediator, someone who can help you two work it out.

But give her a chance to be heard and to hear you. Communicate what you need woman to woman. Stop trashing other women and black balling them. It is not cool. And it violates the woman code of life. Empathy is the single most important skill any leader must have.

Your ability to relate, forgive, understand, discuss, share, and engage other women will absolutely impact how successful you are in life, as a leader, and as a member of the sisterhood of women. There are no exceptions to this rule. If you cannot find it in your heart to act like a human being before you act like a supervisor, boss, executive, colleague, or friend than you have failed at leadership Operate by a Code of Conduct. Don't be a hypocrite. Do not place yourself above other women just because you have a title, status, or stuff.

But by chance and God's grace any of us tomorrow could lose all we have: The next generation of women is watching those of us who are over Reality TV is teaching younger women and some of our peers that being nasty mean girls is the way to succeed in life. We have a responsibility to set an example of what it means to be a "sister" and to actually "keep" your sister even when we disagree.

You cannot live by do what I say, but not what I do.

It will not work with this generation of savvy, sophisticated women. The question is do you see you.
