100 Voices In Business - Celebrating 100 Years Of International Women's Day
International Women’s Day has been observed since in the early 1900′s.
The 8 March 2011 marks the centenary of International Women’s Day first being celebrated in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland
Across the globe, thousands of events are held to inspire women and celebrate achievements.
In this digitally networked and connected world I wondered how we could celebrate the centenary and add value to other women in business.
Contributions were invited from women in business to share their advice and tips in just 140 characters or less.
Through the generosity of their time and the power of online networking, we have amassed contributions from business women across the globe.
I hope you find the bite sized nuggets of wisdom of value and that is a document that will inspire you, your daughters, nieces and grand daughters in their business careers for many years to come.

SUMMARY
I hope you have found the tips shared in this report of value.
I’d like to encourage you to take 1-3 areas that have inspired you and create your personal development plan to turn that inspiration into action.
When creating your plan review what you are currently doing and ask yourself these five questions...
Celebrating 100 Years Of International Women’s DayEssential Guidance For Women In Business From Fellow Women In Business
www.100voices.biz
• What do you need to stop?
• What do you need to start doing?
• What do you need to do more of?
• What do you need to do less of?
• Who can support you in making these changes?
You might find it helpful to work with a buddy or a business mentor to help you make these changes. Or perhaps you could establish your own network and support group of fellow women in business?
