SAN DIEGO, CA - January 13, 2009 - To women everywhere who think they
have a glass ceiling to break through to achieve success, Saundra
Pelletier invites them to start looking at their lives and
achievements in a whole new way. Author of "Saddle Up Your Own White
Horse", keynote speaker, former VP/Executive Coach, Saundra Pelletier
lays it on the table for men and women in business with her newest
seminar series.
According to a study conducted by The Calvert Group, as 2008 comes to
an end, diversity in corporate boardrooms remains an unrealized goal.
Of the 636 companies that comprise the Calvert Social Index, 83
percent of leading companies have at least one woman or minority on
their boards; only 38 percent of these companies have a woman or
minority among their five highest paid executives. However, executive
coach, keynote speaker and author Saundra Pelletier, who has
contributed as a corporate vice president and global franchise leader
at Fortune 500 companies, doesn't necessarily agree with these
figures. She says one must think outside the "cubicle" to get
the real picture on this issue.
"If you think there's a glass ceiling, there is," says Pelletier. "If
you think there isn't, there isn't! Just like anything in life, to
achieve success we take action steps. The first is to perceive your
success and stop listening to anyone who says you have to break
through some imaginary ceiling to get there or that you can never be
paid as well as a man in the same job or that you can't attain the
same level as the man sitting in the next cubicle. Women with that
mindset will be left behind; women with a mindset that tells them they
can achieve their dreams stand a far better chance of getting ahead
and getting what they want out of life. Truly, there is only a glass
ceiling if one perceives there to be." This is a bold statement to
make when so many have heard that women have a lot harder path to
success in business than men, but every day women are proving the
theory to be outdated.
Saundra encourages women to look around them and see the individuals
in the driver's seat of many large and successful corporations and
small businesses. Women. Ask a successful woman today if she
believes there is a glass ceiling and the answer is likely to be no.
Their mindset is such that says they can do not what a man can do but
rather what any individual can achieve with enough planning and brains.
"I developed my new seminar series to empower men and women in
business in a unique way," explains Pelletier. "After talking with a
variety of different executives, I realized just how outdated the ol'
'glass ceiling' analogy is, because I know plenty of people, young and
older, who are not just going after their dreams in business and life,
but who are achieving them at a fast pace. I want women to stop
thinking there's some knight in shining armor who is coming to take
care of them or that they have to stay behind in business because
there are barriers. I want men to stop thinking that women are
emotionally ill prepared to handle decisive tactical skills for
corporate combat. The only barriers are those of the mind. Break
free of negative habits and unhealthy mindsets and you're on your way
to success and freedom you may never have imagined possible."
This is just one of Saundra's events growing in popularity with both
male and female business audiences. She reports that her "Get OFF the
Hamster Wheel" and "Battle of Balance" seminars are a hit wherever she
presents.
"While balance is important and resonates with attendees in that
particular seminar, I get a lot more requests for the hamster wheel
seminar, most likely because that is what we all aim for in life,"
says Pelletier. "So many of us ask ourselves, 'Is this all there is?'
And my resounding answer is 'NO!' We can all have it all. We must
manage our mind to manage our time!"
