Prescription; Network with a Few Women and Call Me in the Morning

Founding Success in the City (SITC), a social networking organization for senior level executive women, CEO’s and entrepreneurs was an accidental discovery.  Out of one networking event, following a move to Washington, D.C. 4-years ago, to find a few new friends and meet women of like minds, careers, challenges, and dreams, SITC was born. An organization that has experienced phenomenal growth beyond what I could have begun to even imagine. 

While I have known, both consciously and intuitively, that we were on something big I often pondered the basis of our success.  Why was something that almost appears to be frivolous fun sparking such interest, involvement and commitment by so many successful women?   A recent UCLA STUDY ON FRIENDSHIP AMONG WOMEN by Gale Berkowitz may hold the key. Read on and let us know what you think.


Dear Gentle Reader,

My Publicist, Geoff Livingston, has been after me for more than a year to begin writing a Blog.  And when, prêt ell, am I supposed to find time to do that? With writing a book, leading an organization, Success in the City, of fab, fantastic, incredible women, founding two new company’s, GoGawGaw, & de Lorenzi Group as well as restructuring another business Patriot Computer Group.   

So what’s another commitment to be witty, pithy and writing it all down several times a week? Yes Geoff, I promise to make it happen (wink, wink)!   

Aha, in a moment of brilliance found when a group of savvy women come together; the idea of sharing a blog was conceived.  Together, with other divas you will meet at Powder Room Diaries, we have created our own glog (group log).   In the Ladies Powder Room tears are dabbed away, girdles, bras, thongs and pantyhose adjusted, makeup retouched, hair sprayed, lipstick applied, secrets whispered and reputations made, destroyed and restored.  We’re here to share pearls of wisdom that come on the way to, while in and out of the ladies room.   

And so you have it, the Ladies Powder Room; a haven, a place of relief and retreat, a harbinger of secrets, humor, wisdom, beauty and the best darn place around to learn about the world.  Enjoy! – Cynthia de Lorenzi
