Maureen J. Simon is the
founder and President of Maureen J. Simon Consulting, a strategic development
consultancy specializing in facilitating, supporting and mentoring women
leaders through a unique transformational process called Whole Spectrum
Living.
Maureen's work is predicated on her belief that a more
equitable, harmonious and successful business environment can be achieved
through a greater integration of feminine and masculine traits.
Historically, women in business have set aside their inherent feminine
attributes, which include process thinking, use of advanced intuition and
relationship building, to adopt the masculine culture that defines global
business today.
However, when women authentically contribute their
inherent feminine traits, they are able to make richer, more powerful business
contributions. Recognizing the value of this integrated perspective, the new
emerging world culture is now actively calling women to greater roles in
business leadership.
