Read on to find out what’s going on and how YOU can take part in simple ways that can make a huge difference.
*On September 29th, over 60 countries will take part in the first annual Globeathon to End Women’s Cancers. People from around the world will walk to raise awareness about below the belt cancers that kill tens of thousands of women each year. Washington, DC will be the host for a 24 hour Relay Around the White House to End Women’s Cancers. Check out Globethaon for all the latest information. Please spread the word and tell your friends to “like” the Globeathon site on Facebook.
*After more than 3 years and 500 hours of footage, the documentary film No Evidence of Disease is ready for a theater near you! Actually, YOU can make that happen in your community. Spark Media has partnered with Tugg.com, an online film distribution company. Our goal is 100 screenings nation-wide, starting in September, GYN Cancer Awareness Month. We need your help to make this happen.
Below you will see an information page so you can see how easy it is to arrange a screening at a local theater. Other than the price of a movie ticket, there is no cost to you. And in fact, your organization will receive 5% of the proceeds! All that is required is reaching out to friends, family, networks, anyone you can think of and invite them to the film. Once a threshold number of reservations has been reached, the screening is a go. In fact, you can customize the event so that it becomes a fundraiser and/or a panel discussion, Q and A, whatever you want!
Please read the attached information and visit our web site: www.nedthemovie.com/host-a-screening/ for additional ideas and suggestions. We would LOVE to have you as part of the team that makes some noise to save women’s lives!

Your profile information is important. If you want people to want to connect to you, you’ll need to tell them a little bit about you. Try not to write anything scary or silly; or too personal.

Enjoying Danish with The Danish With Videos on Happiness, Relaxation and Leadership
Posted: June 25, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Albright Women, Cynthia de Lorenzi, Denmark, Happiest Nation, happiness, Having it all, Joy, Lesley Boucher, Madeleine Albright, Mary Partlow Lattamus, Pensare Group, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, Rupal Kothari Mortensen, Signe Wenneberg, Stress, Success in the City, Working Mom's, Yoga Leave a commentPillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman and Success in the City hosted a fascinating International Women’s Breakfast with Danish women of The Albright Group visiting Washington, DC.
The Albright Group was founded in 2005 by communications consultant Signe Wenneberg, a Danish Journalist and public figure recognized as the Martha Stewart of Denmark. Signe Wenneber was inspired by former US Secretary Madeleine Albright after meeting her at a dinner party in Copenhagen 2004.
During her international travels Ms. Albright emphasized the importance of female relationship networking and the value of learning from men, whom, as she put it, have been skilled networkers for centuries. Ms. Albright visited the group in Denmark for a round-table discussion and lunch in 2008 celebrating their founding of this prestigious organization founded in her name.
Comprised of approximately 70 women leaders throughout Denmark Albright Group women, like Success in the City women desire to make a difference for other women and throughout the world.
In a bit of irony, just prior to the Albright Group visit there was an April, 2012 Huffington Post article on The World Happiness Report 2012: Scandinavian Countries Are Happiest on Earth and Denmark ranked the list as number one!
Happiness, understanding what it is, how to find it, cultivate it, keep it and nurture it, has been a topic of conversation amongst the women of Success in the City since its inception in 2004. For the past 3-years we have hosted an annual sell-out event on the very subject of happiness. We still find it something that seems to often elude so many of us. Sometimes we even wonder if we are happy and we just don’t have the capacity to recognize it.
In this video Cynthia de Lorenzi welcome Rupal Kothari Mortensen and The Albright Group to Washington, DC.
Even more compelling about The World Happiness Report is that “for the past 30 years, scientific researchers and survey results have all reached the same conclusion—Danes are consistently happier than the rest of the world” On the “world map of happiness”—a map created by a social psychologist in England—Switzerland, Austria and Iceland rank just below Denmark on the happiness scale. Canada comes in at number 10, while the United States is a distant 23rd.
What is universal for both Danish and American women is stress, which seems to resonate as a challenge for coping with success, family and the having-it-all-factor for women around the world.
We included in our international gathering discussions on the topic of stress, how each of our cultures manages it and share insightful techniques and strategies for lowering our perception that we are all experiencing ever climbing stress levels.
In this video Mary Partlow Lattamus guides the group through relaxation exercise.
Recently, Inc. wrote about the entrepreneur’s secret anti-stress weapon: meditation. But how can you find your inner calm between meetings, carpool, checking email, and getting your already long to-do list done?
In this video Lesley Boucher, Success in the City’s Chairman of the Board and Managing Director of Pensare Group leads the group in leadership exercises.
