Living in a Global Network as a Woman

 

“Be Proud as a lady” Says Apailuck Trandrabanit from Thailand

“All men are very gentle and on the other hand they are weak” says Kazumi from Japan

“Be proud that we are aging”  says Di Downie

 

Where there is a woman there is magic

With globalization, the opportunities for women have increased exponentially. It has brought noteworthy advantages to most women—more paid work and a sense of equality. Since 1980 the development of the work power of women has been considerably higher than that of men all over the world.  In 2000, on an average, women earned 73 percent of men’s wages. Globalization has affected gender equity and business ideas for women. The world has seen a tremendous women financial change in the course of recent decades. Encouraged by developing worldwide streams of merchandise and ventures, innovation, and data, the interest for female specialists in the fare and empowered divisions has expanded and as women have filled these new occupations, the gender diffusion of work has changed worldwide. Here is a blog identifying 18 ideas towards independence.

 

I grew up in a small country town, I went to school in a tiny wheatbelt school in Western Australia.  I was told as a child to get good grades, but you won’t really need them as you will get married, have children and be taken care of. That was not my parents or teachers fault at all.  It was the era we lived in.  Children were seen and not heard and girls were not encouraged to get a degree or build their entrepreneurial skills. My parents were hard working.  My mum took care of the house and the kids, my step father went to work and worked long hours to put food on the family table with the aim to own a house and be able to retire in comfort. My three brothers and I did what we were told, mostly. I did the girl chores around the house the boys I suppose did chores like collect the wood for hot water and the fires.  I don’t really remember my childhood. It was a part of my life I would never go back to. The alcohol and physical abuse, the small town expectations and generally the work hard lifestyle covered up any personal development or emotional and spiritual needs. That’s simply how we lived, along with many other people in the 50’s 60’s and 70’s.  For many families around the globe the family dynamic is similar except now have the network age meddling with our minds.  Our news came from our fathers from being out in the community, or for us, often from the tennis court from the locals. I remember having to sit quiet to listen to a radio serial “Dad and Dave” and sit extra quiet to be updated on “global” news through the ABC ( Australian Broadcasting Commission) radio station. We  lived in a tiny community.  Our minds were tiny, our possibilities were tiny, our opportunities were tiny.  Our conversation subjects were logistics rather than problem solving or sharing experiences. Our world has changed in many ways and in many ways it is the same.


Ipads, smart phones, laptops, watches have shifted us from limited opportunities to possibilities we never dreamed of.

Our kids are being taught how to write code as homework.

Who knows if they will need to write code.

Who knows what industries will be operating in 20 years and what industries will not be operating.

Who knows what skills will be needed for our kids.

One thing for sure: kids will need entrepreneur skills.

Kids will need to be able to accept different cultures and be effective communicators to be successful global citizens and understand the business ideas for women in the current generation.

Kids will need more personal skills than ever before.

Our kids already know they learn anything with the click of the button. They already know that they don’t need to remember facts, figures, date and times. We now have google!

I’m not sure that our kids are being taught personal values based skills to assist with their emotions, their thinking or their spirit.  I believe this is a huge niche for the right people.

Women are the leaders of communication.  We have been chatting and sharing how we feel for decades.  We naturally talk and express about what’s on our minds.

“We have our power within ourselves” says Apailuck Trandrabanit- Bangkok Thailand

Women are having to acknowledge themselves and that they have a mind that can solve problems rather than chatter about the dinner tonight or the latest political situation or  simply chat inanely.  Women are learning that their male partners and male friends are equal yet different.

“It’s good for women to co-operate with men” says Kazumi  from Japan

When women Support each other incredible things happen

Globalization’s effect isn’t constrained to the present women laborers—more grounded monetary motivations to collect aptitudes could likewise cultivate higher work drive interest among young women in the years to come. Since female specialists have profited excessively more than men from the progressions, it will be highly motivating for the coming generations of women as well who will want to profit from our global village in era of business ideas for women. There are many ways women are using their voices to share not only what they know, but to also inspire others to share what they know. We held a online forum just last week with 5 women from 4 countries.  We all shared strategies that are working for us now in this global village that we all live in.  We might like living in this global village and might not.  Either way, we are all affected by social media, the internet, fast travel, information at our finger tips, the young generations often confident with the world they live yet often questioning their past and their future. Areas of family, the homes we live in, our health care, our personal thinking and feeling are all affected by our global village now. We welcome your comments and thoughts on our online forum.  Go here to make them

“ Keep our power as feminine”  says Apailuck Trandrabanit

Women are the real architects of the society

Innovation and web network have opened up different choices for women too. Innovation  takes into account remote working, which extends women’s alternatives.

“Be Proud for what we have to share” says Di Downie

I see my job as assisting women to be able to have everything.

  • A happy marriage or sexual relationship – long term.
  • An ability to use their skills and natural attributes to be independant.
  • A feeling of self fullment, whatever that is for that person.
  • To be earning money from the global village not only from their own country or small town.
  • To have a network of people who have been there before them and have specialized skills for ideas to bounce and be formed.

Endeavoring to promote globalization may look to better days on female progression. Our global village and the ability to network ( have conversations) has and is empowering women all over the world to transform their ripples of local impact into waves of global change. It has brought women from all over the world together to support one another. Women living and thriving in this age of global network are empowered and self-aware of their worth. In order to turn their passion into purpose, and to zero down on more business ideas for women and get it formulated, we need to first probe into ourselves.

“Learn skills  of how to share what you know” says Di Downie

What do I mean by “Probe into ourselves”?

Here are my tips for you:

  • Know what your values and needs are and be able to clearly see them operating in your life.
  • Know what your attributes are… you were born with gifts.. Use them
  • Know what skills you have now
  • Know what skills you need to build your independence.
  • Be super clear and have it written out — what your intention is .  I specifically direct you with a fun tool in my mentoring program.  (My program isn’t for everyone.  You can apply here)       ­
  • Set yourself up to be amongst people who will and can support you. There are plenty of people who will give you their opinions.  There are few who will give you their experience.

Take one minute and share your thoughts from this blog post.

  1. Hi Di, it is very timely that I just read your post as these thoughts of yours
    ‘I’m not sure that our kids are being taught personal values based skills to assist with their emotions, their thinking or their spirit. I believe this is a huge niche for the right people.’
    …..have very much been mine lately.
    I too grew up in (and moved back to) a small town in Northern Ireland in the 70s and 80s. Yes, during the height of the troubles. Thankfully my parents did encourage me to get degrees up to my PhD. What I didn’t have was a sense of self or my own values. I people pleased and made mistakes as a result for 40 years! I am learning these skills now in my 40s and I believe my life journey would have been a lot less tumultuous had I been given these skills at a younger age. The feeling and saying “if only I knew then what I know now.” It’s something I want to look into more and maybe be one of the people you mention.

    1. If only

      If only

      If only I knew what my values were..

      Thankyou Ruth for your time and your valuable story

      Personal Values is like a guiding star

      Di
