They say a picture is worth a thousand words. These two pictures are worth way more than that — they are worth  millions, even billions of dollars to American companies in the decade to come.

If your company — or one you own shares in — wants to know what they can do to win the hearts and minds of women professionals in the decade to come, tell them to contact me personally before their competition smartens up.
