The Jeffrey Epstein Scandal will be the biggest story of the decade because of the prominent names in his little Black Book. While some were innocent, there were many powerful CEOs, bankers, billionaires & politicians who flew on his plane, the Lolita Express. We must wonder how many openings this will lead to for women leaders to be invited to World Economic Forum, instead of rich & predatory men, some of whom are hiding dark secrets?
QUOTE: “The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.” Albert Einstein
I was shocked to hear about Epstein, because when I lived in New York, I went to the Yossi hair salon which was on East 71st Street between Madison & Fifth Avenue just steps from his mansion. While I never met Mr. Epstein, I wonder if any of the lovely women & girls who were abused by him had walked down that street when I was at my salon near St. James Church and the Ralph Lauren store. The Upper East Side felt like the safest part of New York, but behind the doors of that $70+ million mansion, evil lurked and many CEOs, bankers, academics, celebrities & mainstream media anchors tragically looked the other way! SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING #TimesUp
The more I learn about Davos Men & this tragic #MeToo story, the more I know we need female executive coaches & Conservative women leaders at Davos. The heroes of this story include the Florida attorney Bradley Edwards and journalist Julie K. Brown at the Miami Herald. South Florida is attracting Davos men’s attention & will continue to. STAY TUNED & watch new video where I share my thoughts & opinions on how Epstein relates to Davos:

Executive & Anchor Sandra Rupp reports on THE WAY AHEAD ~ for State Street, McCann, Alfa Romeo, Audi, Unilever, WPP CEOs.
Today I’m offering strategic advertising advice to Jay Hooley, CEO of State Street global financial services and Harris Diamond, CEO of McCann, a top ad agency owned by Interpublic. FT Alphaville had an insightful post on that “Fearless Girl” Statue they placed standing in front of the famous Wall Street Bull for International Women’s Day. While I give all CEOs credit for taking on the complex topic of gender parity, in this case the marketing teams tried to tie this publicity stunt to a communications message to influence companies to appoint more women to their boards. I immediately hit the FT comments button, as I was shaken State Street and their ad agency were tying women on boards to a statue of a little girl. Why? Well predictably the press scrutinized the % women in leadership at State Street (reminded me of the Audi Super Bowl ad controversy), and I don’t think any of this helps get more women on boards today: the rest is HERSTORY. Jay and Harris, I invite you to call me for expert advice. Let’s replace the little girl statue with a statue of a businesswoman in high heels with a businessman standing next to her (Yin/Yang). I would love to work with you! I helped reinvent the Unilever Axe & Dove Ads and influenced Sir Martin’s CEOs to put more women Creative Chiefs at WPP agencies. P.S. Alfa Romeo, after your inspiring, feminine energy Super Bowl Ads, you are my next car purchase! Watch the full report here:

QUOTE “When you can’t make them see the light, make them feel the heat.” ~ Ronald Reagan
Leaders I want to share a Special Valentine Message this year. I would like to welcome Davos Men to the Largest Economic Opportunity Worldwide. Did you know that women are the largest consumer market and an increasing percentage of business purchasing? Did you know that just 7% of people worldwide have a college degree (about 30% of people in Western countries) but women currently make up 60% of college graduates in the US ? Did you know that just about 8% of people in Western countries have a post-graduate degree but that my MBA class was 40% Women two decades ago? Unfortunately 90% of the Angel Investor & VC Money is still going to men! Yet women in their 40s and 50s are starting more new companies than any other demographic sector but many have to use a personal credit card (with high interest rates) to start one. Banks: how are you doing on Small Business Lending?…Companies: Why are we stuck at just 16% Women Board Members for the last ten years in countries without a Quota? What does Leadership Look Like to YOU?…Meantime only 3% of Creative Heads at the major Ad Agencies are Women??…Looking at many of the Super Bowl Ads, the gentlemen need some help! (Calgon, take me away… :-))
DAVOS CEOs IN EVERY INDUSTRY: You NEED 30%+ WOMEN on your Boards & Executive Teams today following McKinsey’s research that 30%+ Women on your teams is good for business. Otherwise you are not investing in the largest economic opportunity worldwide. Executive women don’t need Sponsorship which to me is an outdated patriarchical word; they need to be appointed to your Leadership Team & recognized as the strong FEMININE LEADERS THEY ALREADY ARE. Can’t find them in your company? I can. I was a Global Executive Search Consultant for many years. Angel Investors: if you are not investing in Women & Minorities, you are missing out on a huge portion of leaders needed to reboot the Western & global economies. And WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM with your support & the help of Davos Men like @DTapscott, @Bill_George, @Paul1Polman @BillGates @MartinSorrell @Wunderman29 @RichardBranson @MichaelDell @Nouriel and others, I WILL GET 30% WOMEN AT DAVOS including 2 delegates for strategic partners….because leadership now comes in a lot of different forms & fashions: indeed LEADERSHIP CAN LOOK LIKE THIS> And once I get DAVOS MEN TO UNDERSTAND THIS, we will GET THIS ECONOMY ROLLING AGAIN because Yin + Yang = 21st Century Success. STAY TUNED.
