Today is an International Day of the Girl. Someone asked me – so how will you celebrate it? My answer might be a bit unpopular. I do not celebrate it ... I do not celebrate this day anyhow differently than any other day of the year. Girls and women empowerment counts for me every day of the year and I am willing to do my utmost, to see as many women thrive as I can. A couple of years ago I got inspired by Sheryl Sandberg and her book Lean In. It was the first time I really realized how big this topic is. And since then I do my best to empower all great women around me, my work colleagues, my friends, my family, neighbors, sales clerks I meet while shopping, and my World Pulse folks. Ladies, girls – let’s do this every day! Empower each other and celebrate our greatness – every single day!   PS This is my first WP story. And it is short. Yes, I usually make things brief.
