Is being who I am a gift? Or is it a tautology? If it is the best gift I can give, then that’s a shame for myself, our community and our world, as we all surely deserve better。

The point of the conference is to empower, educate and inspire women to be “Architects of Change?”. But it’s not quite clear to me why anyone would want to be such a thing. An architect is someone who designs a building and then invariably falls out with the builders who build it and the clients who pay for it. And if I wanted to be an architect, the last thing I’d want to architect (the noun now perfectly acceptable as a verb in management circles) would be change, in general. Good change is good, bad change is bad, and sometimes the status quo is the best of all。

You might think I’m being a bit on the mean side. After all, this is California, and this programme is aimed at all women, not just bright ones. Indeed one of the “breakout conversations” is entitled: “Are you comfortable in a bathing suit?”

There is no such excuse for the Women on Wall Street who are also having their annual knees-up this week。

The WOWS invitation begins: “What stands between you and your next big breakthrough?”

I know the answer to this already: laziness and other people。

“How do your perspectives influence whether or not you can turn that innovative idea into an actionable initiative?” it goes on。
