then in this world where there are
if serious problems
many women do not even have the
freedom to choose their life can be
the question is what the subject
Women and power is not a
secondary subject
a few months ago a young woman to me
I contacted did not know it
told me all the passion she had
for the cause of women then she
about his project was the project
create the umpteenth female networks
whose goal was to help
Women large companies
access to the management committee
the value proposition was
it was simplistic to sell these
Women in general graduate high
training school for training
learn to sell to appear
to negotiate all these things finally
absolutely essential for their
career than their male counterparts
refers them completely naturally
anecdote seemed both
insignificant and revealing the
about women and I ambition
think today we are in
a situation both
infantilization is also bogged down
by dint of seeking explanations
were manufactured apology and
speech of women and gender
in companies finally
rationalize not taking risks
for many women yet
have one that is a refusal obstacle
with respect to the ambition is
Yet a legitimate subject for
most of them the world moves it
a deeply moving quickly moves the
People who are in power today have
the ability to influence tomorrow
build tomorrow if women are
not in power
if it does not participate in these
changes not only the world
Tomorrow will be very unlikely
to be more favorable to women but
plus I deeply believe the
world of tomorrow will be worse than if
she helped
build my first my first
Action on Women and
power of women held ambition
20 years ago it was in barcelona
it was a women’s convention at
ibm high potential who had
all of Europe
the company was in deep change
and the President of the era lou
gerstner put a lot of energy
advancing diversity in
ranks the top management of the company
and in particular they put a lot
energy to increase the number
women
he did not do it because it
wanted he wanted to be consistent I
External know what standard he who
would be imposed because he did
that they were convinced that had ibm
almost died of too much to
it bothered homo environment and culture
the single thought of its management
and that rich organizations with a
diverse opinions
sensitivity of experience with more than
likely to survive over the long term
I remember this intervention
like it was yesterday
my daughters at the time was three
and six months I was at the time
Executive director of solutions
e-business at European level and
Rolling by 7digital today I
I worked a lot and travel
I often slept little
I could handle everything as I was
not very comfortable with exercise
staff as was expected of me
but at the same time I remembered a
testimony of one of my very elderly
deep that touched me that had me
encouraged and suddenly I dropped me
I started and I talked about my
guilt of my guilt for
not raise my daughters in
standard that was my mother instilled me
though it was a woman very
independent who is found
widow at age 30 had me stand alone
I explained how every day I
attached myself to define my own
criteria that was important
my wife is my role
role of married I said that I could
slowly to relieve me of all
a set of standards
forcing unnecessary that hindered my
freedom my speech was a hit and
they were many at the exit
come talk to me and tell me
she too was dragging them
guilt like a ball they me
said she often had an entourage
gooders that whenever a
small incident happening in their lives
eg a sick child read their
remember that perhaps she neglected
their role as mothers while during
twenty years since I had I
often intervened on the subject of
women
I tried to make my contribution to
the building tried to promote
famous facts I pushed
some went to the end of their
potential not maybe not
enough but in any case have
all successful, but I also
tired of this discussion on
women in business and
representation in power because
I felt a
endless discussion and without fighting
I said twenty years after we
are still almost 10%
women in management committees
large companies
Twenty years later when you look
top 100 signal
harvard business review 2016
two women twenty years ago after it
is still less than 20% of girls
in engineering schools
Date years after so look for a
founder who created a Unicorn
these startups valued at more than
billion and when you
look palmares of startups
potential they like it
alas sadly list
cac bosses 40 which
represents female representation
and besides there are 3% of women
are patrons of its investment in
venture capital women are
not where the world is and is to
tomorrow then more disturbing yet
there are tight and discussions with
younger women and I have a
header in particular it was in a
renowned firm
of the Paris market of young women
highly qualified and after
listening to me they told me that my
fight for women and power
was the fight of another
generation she had other
ideals and the quality of life or
daily and is central and it
was no way she put
more energy than needed to
create turns climbing the ladder of their
Cabinet I confess I came out very
depressed Thread
and not just because I had
makes deal with dinosaurs but also
because I thought that we
women of my generation had no
seriously doubt missed our duty
transmission and then we gave
Perhaps due to these men
Retrograde saying that we
investing too much on education
Finished my daughter Agathe early this
year returned a day reassembled
an English class are teachers
their mom had she told me
we need to talk of women
now we need to talk of
feminism
Our English teacher is a real
matches have submitted to us a text
New York Times on feminism
commented the boys are
seized it became a big joke
and us girls in the room was
was nil in fact the article was less
dramatic as its title could the
let consider feminism is lost
Watts has finished feminism is
Now in fact the author developed
the difference in attitude on
feminism between Hillary Clinton
famous white already in power
vying supreme responsibility
in his country and then the reality of the
Women’s rights seen from
perspective of the readers of the
average American classroom whether
it is black white rights
Women may on condition
to first have a job and a salary
decent and eventually regardless
and enormities uttered by a
donald trump they voted for him
if he belonged there
solution then to the dismay of my
this girl planted feminism I
am rested on the subject of governance
the corporate world I
posed the question of women’s place
and I thought that maybe
surely the first subject was also
important today than yesterday but
Perhaps it was only a matter of
right but a duty to talk about the
duty today it’s a bit
complicated and then elsewhere who
am I to give lessons to that
whether and in particular women
to which we give much but I
I refuse to look at you women
in all cases of our societies our
civilized societies as
victims they have too much talent they
have too much potential
and then the issues are there when
look at our world
when looking at the impacts of
technology on our societies one has
is the impact of technology on
employment impact of the pollution on
and environmental issues when
Thinking of progression inequality
worldwide there are problems
huge that we must
of women were bringing solutions
are not sufficiently present in the
circles of innovation in circles
or political power or
the company is not involved
the creation of these solutions
the subject is not whether it is necessary
that we do something for
it was more a part of 7 2 7
of this work
the question is how one
fact that she assumes
responsibility they have to go
future generations
in my meetings that marked me
in my life there was one with
the married South African President
Thabo Mbeki Mbeki when I chanel
meeting was a woman of a certain
all age frail but felt a
strong determination
a number of women had
were gathered around her for a
official visit and after a while
She spoke to us is
his story
she told us her battle with
men for the liberation of his country
at that time there was just
no difference between men and
the women
and then came the moment of peace
and the time to rebuild the country
Unfortunately for future women had
an additional battle to fight
it was the one to stay in the game of
stay in the game for anne l 1 bis
it was obvious that in a country that
was ravaged by the violence that had
so many issues on building
education infrastructure
women who were often the
central pillar of their families pivot
must have a voice on what was
the priorities and how
build and suddenly she fought
with other women for the
new south africa agreement
reserve a seat in parliament for
they have a capacity to build
solutions so what’s wrong
after years of claims
after years of incitement
incentive is that which can be
actually say 2% 3% 10% are
the good measure of women’s talent
and their desire to have a good voice
course not
when the men themselves
are younger are wondering
question by saying, but where is the
problem is that ultimately it is
in the heads of some women he
thing to unlock why were they
so many problems with words power
ambition and so I think it’s
because women girls have
important choice to do well aware
earlier in their lives than do
men in our societies when we
off
a boy we follow the path of
career without even
think
we’ll see a woman
the choice arises when well
often there is also the prospect of
create a family and have
children and suddenly the choice of
career may not be a choice
fault
it must be a conscious choice a
choice based I think on his
pots own reason on its own
case
and the time of the choice of three stroke
Demons come whispered women
often they have to give up
the first demons feed on a
false idea of the path
power
a simplistic idea many of
they tell me I will not do
career because why must
do politics
so I think it’s a fake
beard is often fear I think
it’s mostly a false analysis
in reality there is very little
the world where intrigued substitutes
talent also stopped universe there
it takes away what is not
challenge indeed in most
If of course we recognize the true
Leadership true real capacity
someone has contributed more than
others serving others because
that’s also the power is on
Once a school and transcendence
every day but especially also the
real power
willingness to contribute more
serving others the second of my
President
around that everything that is said when
told them that they can not see
then understand when you make a
professional career
you can not be a good mother
when you make a career
professional
you can not be having women
the assets of the lovely and beautiful blache
companion understand if you are a
boss
feminine you are inevitably
aggressive and assertive then the image
can talk is that it is
really important what is really
major course is not
renounce the most essential
to have both a personal life
and professional ambition and there
to shock I will say
Today in 2017
women are not in a
conditions so different in all cases
in our societies so different from
men modern men also
want to have a family life
participate in the life and education
their children are more at the end
19th century it XXth century forgiveness
when men went into career
professional as we were leaving the
war and therefore it is to set its
own rules the third demons
feeds this insidious idea that
develops over its programs on
gender and diversity
women are not ready yet
it would still have some time to
they are more numerous
and then it would not hurt them
coaching to last it can be
arrive
then I say stop this stop
Victimization not patronizing
Women do not need to learn to
negotiate not believe in your
environments are masters at
it
ambition is the craving
to get somewhere
power is the ability
influenced to decide on a pact
Nevertheless, we all needed to
time to have a little help
thumb to choose the path
difficult one that will be most
rewarding one that will have the most
impact
so let silence but demons and
you that there were girls and
women friends who have talent in that
you trust
what do you tell them when
they come to you and that you
application review promotion
to their offering a promotion that will
that for some time it will
it is 5 days a week out of
family home
what do you tell them when
they tell you I’d like
start a business but it will take
I am against dedicated to ten thousand
percent
is what do you tell them
Attention you have a family still
or is what you tell them you
Because you deserve it you can do it
and you will find solutions
and what do you do when they
come to see you in their way
because they have doubts because
they have problems is that
you say that the choice can you
stop or is what you tell them
continues to find solutions that it
potential does not stop for
wrong reasons and then finally
What are you doing to you
daily that the world has
a more feminine voice for the future
thank you
