When we are self-aware, allow our natural team-building abilities to flourish, and are willing to be courageously vulnerable, we also become unstoppable. Beginning in 2020, a powerful group of women, although spread out over thousands of miles, chose to collaborate on a daring project, resulting in an exciting new future for women everywhere. We started with co-writing a book.
Rhonda Peoples had many stories to tell about female insights gained during her 20-year career in a male-dominated industry, but she was not sure where to start. She called her friend Deb Anderson, a writer who wanted to share her own ah-ha moments and life lessons. The duo brainstormed and invited other women to join them who had also experienced life’s challenges and complexities.
These women had acquired hard-won wisdom and journeyed successfully through breakdown and breakthrough. Most importantly, all were willing to reveal what they learned and were passionate about empowering others. Together, these 15 remarkable women created a phenomenal shared experience along with a supportive sisterhood and an innovative, collaborative writing process. The group delivered on their promise to make a positive difference by publishing their inspiring book.
The success of the group’s endeavor attracted other like-minded women. Then the scope of their contributions expanded to include speaking engagements, social media, projects, workshops, and an Empowering Women With Words book series. Rhonda and Deb, along with the co-founding leadership team, created the Empowering Women Alliance to serve women globally.
