There is a movement taking place all over the globe, an ongoing conversation that tells
the story of women evolving themselves, their
lives, their world. Offerings supports this movement in two ways: In our work with Women's Organizations and Networks to strengthen interrelationships and increase effectiveness; and through our creative works which offer artistic expressions of this new and emerging story of women. Welcome!
Creative Pathfinders on the Go!
Women evolving our future and our world through creative acts and commitments
Listen to an "inner-view" dialogue among women business leaders Lauralee Alben, Laurie Meadoff, and Cass Warner on their creative journeys.
Lauralee Alben, President of Alben Design LLC, leads a consultancy dedicated to designing sea changes -- positive, profound, and lasting transformations in lives, organizations, and the world. Lauralee received the first prestigious Muriel Cooper Prize from the Design Management Institute for being a pioneer in the digital environment and is one of I.D. Magazine's I.D. Forty for being "one of the most influential people in design."
Laurie Meadoff, Executive Producer of Chat the Planet, guides a multi-platform media production company on the frontlines of global youth dialogue. Chat the Planet is currently best known for Hometown Baghdad, the compelling and disarming dialogue of everyday life in Iraq.
Cass Warner, founder and President of Warner Sisters, honors and enriches the filming legacy started by her well-respected grandfather, Harry Warner of the Warner Brothers studio, by using the moving image to awaken creative minds and nurture the "future culture". Besides writing and screenplays, Cass authored the book on her family, Hollywood Be Thy Name: The Warner Brothers Story, now in its sixth printing.
Join us as we explore the courageous, compassionate, and committed ways that women are stepping out in front to affect powerful change. From three simple questions on creativity, a world of possibilities unfolds as we listen to the uplifting yet no-nonsense stories of women on the creative edge. You'll learn how art, film, television, and interactive media are being focused to cultivate social awareness in our youth, protect human rights, and above all, create profound and authentic connections among human beings. As you feel your spirit soaring, ponder this: How the world evolves is a direct result of our creative inspiration and creative acts. Each creative commitment we make individually evolves us all.
