To Outearn Male Counterparts, Women Only Need to Become CEOs of Huge Corporations

newser.com - (Newser) – Researchers have identified a group of women who actually get paid more than their male counterparts for the same work—but that group consists of just eight people. Executive compensation research firm Equilar looked at the CEOs of the 100 largest public companies and found the eight women among them earned an average of $22.7 million in 2015, while male CEOs received a measly $14.9 million on average, reports the Washington Post. The trend also occurred in companies listed in Standard & Poor's 500 stock index, with 23 female CEOs receiving an average of around $13 million, compared to $11 million for their far more numerous male counterparts.

The small sample size and the whopping $53 million pay package of Oracle co-CEO Safra Catz, the highest-paid CEO of them all, skewed the Equilar averages, notes Fortune, but female CEOs of the biggest companies also had a median income of $20 million, compared to a median of $14.5 million for all 100. Further, Equilar notes that of the eight, only two fell outside of the top 25. A pay expert tells the Post it's possible that "in order to get to the CEO role, maybe these women have to be twice as smart and twice as good, and therefore they earn more," but pay level at the biggest companies tends to be set on "market data and peer groups" and doesn't factor in gender. The seven women who, with Catz, make up the group:

In Honor of Mother's Day, Here are 7 Mompreneurs Who Founded Million-Dollar Businesses

Just in time for Mother's Day, please enjoy this article from Entrepreneur highlighting seven mothers who are also killing it in the business world!

entrepreneur.com - Raising kids is hard. Raising kids while founding and managing an eventual million-dollar business is harder. Despite every struggle life threw at them, these seven “mompreneurs” ran highly successful and innovative businesses without losing sight of their families.

Jacqueline Smith grew up knowing she’d someday own a cosmetics company. As a stay-at-home mom, she had a hard time escaping her kids for long enough to get a professional manicure, and at-home trials resulted in frequent interruptions and messy polish. From her struggle Kiesque Liquid Palisade was born -- the original liquid painter’s tape for nails! Kiesque is now an international cosmetics company whose products are sold at Sephora, BeautyBar.com, and many other fine retailers.

The process wasn’t perfect, though; like most startup owners, Jacqueline had to acquire funding for her idea, and she soon became pregnant with a third child. Now, Jacqueline has her busy schedule figured out, making room for her kids, work, and play: she gets up at 4 am for a bit of quiet work time, and after taking the kids to school, she moves to the office. Jacqueline and her team even leave the office around 3:15 pm to pick their children up from school, take them to afternoon extracurriculars, and enjoy family dinners. While things occasionally get a bit hectic, Jacqueline thanks her Apple Watch for reminding her of scheduled events and helping to keep life a little more sane.

From Forbes: 5 'Can't Miss' Conferences For Entrepreneurs In 2016

With 2016 well under way, we looked back on a list by Forbes columnist Cheryl Conner listing some fantastic conferences for entrepreneurs this year--especially with several of them coming up next month or this summer. If you're looking to network, learn more about finances, hear inspirational stories, drive online business, learn from industry leaders or more; you should definitely check out these conferences and the organizations that host them.

forbes.com - Where will entrepreneurs spend their networking and educational time in 2016? Today I’m following up on one of my most read columns of 2015 with an update to my list of recommended events in 2016 for entrepreneurs. I have selected these picks with an eye toward high networking and learning benefits for entrepreneurs who are looking for connections to top mentors, new funding and innovative ideas for PR.

This is an unofficial list I compiled on the basis of quality of attendees, avoidance of hard sell platforms, social responsibility missions, and positive results for those who’ve attended. I attended all but one of these events, the NextGen Summit, in 2015. As disclosure, I serve in an unpaid role as a faculty member for one of the events I’ve listed, CEO Space.

On that note, my choices are as follows:

1) CEO Space. Now in its 28th year, this event is billed as a business growth accelerator conference and touts itself as the world’s central catalyst for Cooperative Capitalism, which I have written about in this column before.  It addresses entrepreneurs of all ages, including teens at its five annual week-long events in Lake Las Vegas, in Henderson, Nev.

3 Ways Financial Advisers Can Support Women's Desires to Invest Altruistically

inc.com - Research from the Center for Talent Innovation (CTI) finds that U.S. women are as financially savvy as men. However, the same research found that superior knowledge doesn't translate into commensurate confidence: women don't perceive themselves as financially literate. Despite being among the most financially literate women in the world, American women are 44 percent less likely than American men to consider themselves knowledgeable about money matters (34 percent vs 19 percent).

Without the confidence in their investment decisions, women tend to avoid risk that might benefit them in the long-run. And by assuming that women are inherently risk-averse, the financial services industry promulgates behaviors that marginalize women investors and further erode their confidence: advisors tailor their language, recommendations and investing strategies for men.

Thus, 44 percent of women in the U.S. with significant personal income or investable assets do not have an advisor and nearly half of women with an advisor feel their advisor does not understand them. Not only do women and the industry lose in this equation but the world is also failing to benefit from the wealth women desire to contribute toward the social good. Like men, women seek performance from their investments. But, they also desire a greater basket of goods. Women want to fund entrepreneurs and social enterprises. They want to donate to charities that fight poverty and invest in organizations with diversity in leadership and that promote social well-being. Unfortunately, the less confident they are, the larger gap we see between desire and action.

WEF is on the lookout for Africa's top five female innovators

Ventures Africa brings us this news of this year's World Economic Forum for Africa, which will highlight some stars in innovation. Read on for more. 

venturesafrica.com - This May, Africa’s female innovators and entrepreneurs will be in the spotlight based on an opportunity to represent Africa at the 2016 World Economic Forum for Africa as part of the top five role models on the continent in the area of wealth generation and economic empowerment. These five female innovators will be selected from Africa’s “brightest and best” at the discretion of a panel of experts, and will then be invited to participate in the forum at Kigali, Rwanda.

The event will take place from the 11^th to the 13^th of next month, but the search is already on to determine the crop of female innovators and entrepreneurs who would shape Africa’s next generation. And because the World Economic Forum (WEF) is “committed to improving the state of the world,” application for the challenge is not limited to individuals occupying the technology space.

Fashion designers, farmers, artists, retailers, social entrepreneurs, and other such women who have set a standard with their innovative business models and have significantly improved their societies and the lives of the people around them can all register to be one of the top five making a difference at the forum this year. This is also in the spirit of championing inclusivity in the field of innovation which up until recently has been credited to professionals in the technology space.

New Website Helps Advisers Connect With Women

wealthmanagement.com - Symmetry Partners, a turnkey asset management provider that has $7.4 billion in assets under management and advisement, launched a new microsite Monday with resources to help advisers find, market to and connect with female investors. The “Working With Women Investors” page includes a workbook for advisers, brochures targeted towards women investors, a guide to seminar and event planning, and various communication templates to assist in more personalized client engagement. Symmetry said the firm would also conduct webinars throughout the year featuring leading advisers among female investors and the strategies they are employing to target the demographic. “We’re no longer talking about a niche market, but rather a self-sustaining and formidable segment of the investment landscape that we believe is still drastically under-addressed by the financial advising community as a whole,” said Symmetry’s marketing strategist Connie Yan. “The goal of our program is to help them do just that by placing tangible resources and actionable advice at the fingertips of the advising community.”

Treasury Picks Tubman for $20 Bill, Hamilton to Stay on $10

The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced Wednesday that Harriet Tubman, a former slave who escorted hundreds of other slaves to freedom, will replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. It's an encouraging step in a movement that gained traction with Women on 20s, a nonprofit advocating for redesigning U.S. currency to include women on the $20 bill. You can read their reaction to the Treasury's announcement on their site. 

Symbols matter, and we're thrilled to see Tubman--a fierce champion of racial and gender equality--on the $20 bill, as well as the movement for women's suffrage in the United States on the $10 bill.

bloomberg.com - Abolitionist Harriet Tubman will appear on front of the $20 bill, replacing former President Andrew Jackson and becoming the first woman featured on U.S. paper currency in modern times, a Treasury official said, in a design overhaul that will leave Alexander Hamilton on the $10 note.

The decision is the latest chapter in a 10-month-old controversy that erupted after Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew tried to address gender imbalance on U.S. currency notes. He opened up the selection process to the public just as the current face on the $10 bill was enjoying a resurgence in popularity, and outrage ensued.

The move Lew is announcing Wednesday is intended as a way to thread the needle between women’s groups who have been advocating for gender diversity on U.S. currency and fans of Hamilton, including Lin-Manuel Miranda, the playwright and star of the hit Broadway musical about the nation’s first Treasury secretary. Miranda lobbied Lew to keep Hamilton on the $10 when he visited Washington last month.

Startup Lessons From a First-Time Entrepreneur Who Raised $25 Million

fortune.com - Entrepreneurs have a tendency to paint past failures as necessary steps toward their inevitable success. In many a Silicon Valley narrative, each misguided venture, bad decision or management mistake is rebranded a “lesson” on the path to that eventual multimillion–dollar valuation.

Leura Fine is hoping she can avoid the catastrophic and build a successful business on her first try. She already has the multimillion-dollar valuation down: her company Laurel & Wolf, an online platform that connects interior designers with consumers, has raised $25.5 million in VC funding and is reportedly valued at more than $100 million.

As Fine tells it, becoming a tech CEO happened almost by accident. Like so many entrepreneurial journeys, it started with a nagging frustration — namely, why interior design services remained exorbitantly expensive. Having worked at a big design studio in Los Angeles where “the average budget for a space was $3 million” and then at her own practice, Fine’s clients were safely in the so-called 1%. She liked the job, but wished the client pool was larger and more diverse (as did many of her designer friends, who were competing for jobs from this same, small pool). The Internet had leveled the barrier of entry to so many other fields — why not interior design?

Female startups face uphill struggle against overwhelmingly male-led Venture Capital firms

alphr.com - As everybody knows, sexism in tech is keeping women away from one of the world’s most exciting industries. The problem may start in schools with young girls feeling disinterested in STEM subjects, but as a Fortune report finds, it extends all the way up to the people funding the most successful startups.

According to Fortune, in a survey of US-based venture capital firms who raised at least one fund of $100 million or more since 2011, fewer than 6% of decision makers at US venture capital firms are women. That means that, across 282 firms and 906 decision makers, there were only 52 women capable of deciding the fate of thousands of startups. That’s 5.7%.

The difficulty here is that Silicon Valley’s overwhelming unrepresentative male culture runs the risk of becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. What's more, with women now accounting for over half of the UK's young entrepreneurs, if the investors are all old men, and the teams they expect to see are younger men, then what hope has an all female team got of attracting the same level of funding?

The Sexist Reason Millennial Women Aren't Investing

glamour.com - If you have a little extra dough, what do you do with it? According to the results of a new survey, as long as you're a millennial woman, you don't invest it. In fact, a full 79 percent of millennial women don't play the stock market—and we know why. You can probably guess: sexism.

It's not the weight of student debt, like you might think. Only 13 percent of women say school loans keep them from investing their money. Rather, the Harris Poll survey, commissioned by investment app Stash, found that 76 percent millennial women think investing is confusing, while 60 percent think investing is an old white man's game—and gain, apparently. (A separate recent survey shows 10 percent of women believe Wall Street pays more attention to men than women.)

What's more, even if millennial women could move past the mental barriers keeping them from investing, they don't think they have the money to do so. Almost half—41 percent—of millennial women feel they don't have enough cash to invest in the stock market. And even more think they need beaucoup bucks to get started. According to the survey, 70 percent of millennial women think they need at least $100 to invest, while 38 percent think they need at least $1,000 to get started.

Opportunity Knocking For Women Advisers

investors.com - Men may have long dominated the financial advisory field. But increasingly, signs show women are finally getting their shot.

Amid a growing awareness of the “female market” for financial advice -- some data show women now controlling 51% of America’s personal wealth -- and the aftermath of some bias lawsuits, evidently more financial advisory firms are inviting women to be advisers as well as clients.

“It’s a big deal,” said Michelle Lynch, vice president of Raymond James Financial’s (RJF) Network for Women Advisors. She added, “All the firms have some initiative now around women.”

To be sure, female advisors are still comparatively few. Although women comprise more than half the population, they account for only 31% of financial advisors and 23% of certified financial planners (CFPs), according to a 2014 CFP Board report. And experts say that many women still aren’t even aware of the profession.

Reflecting The Marketplace

But these days, programs in colleges, professional groups and company recruitment aim to boost the ranks of women advisers. Indeed, at Prudential Advisers, “our goal is to reflect the marketplace,” said Catalina Camoscio, the firm’s vice president of recruiting and development. Reflecting the marketplace would eventually mean “50% of (our) advisers” would be women.

This Women's Clothing Brand Is Made For Professional Women Who Hate To Shop

It's one of the oldest and most culturally ingrained stereotypes: Women love to shop. It even may have had some basis in truth, fair or not, when women were less able to pursue their own careers. But it's not always true these days. This editor, for one, is excited to see a company offering a professional "uniform" for women--an option men have had for ages.

The fashion company MM.Lafleur, whose founders were recently interviewed in another post we shared, is bucking the stereotype and their business is thriving. Shopping is still wonderful for all of you who love it--but for women who are a little less enthusiastic about shopping, or who just want to streamline professional decision making, this is a welcome option.

fastcompany.com - "I'm so sick of the stereotype that all women are shopping-obsessed," Sarah LaFleur, the 32-year-old cofounder of the workwear brand MM.LaFleur, tells Fast Company.

After college, LaFleur spent several years working in management consulting and private equity, where she needed a rotation of crisp, smart work clothes. But she had neither the time nor the inclination to shop for them. In her few free moments, the last thing she wanted to do was browse for blazers online or at a boutique. "For some women, buying clothes is just not a priority for one reason or another, but it doesn't mean that they don't care about good style or looking elegant," she says.

LaFleur believed that there were many other female executives who felt like she did. So three years ago, she decided to do something radical. She started an online company called MM.LaFleur that challenged two deep-seated beliefs of the fashion industry: that women love the shopping experience, and want to buy trendy clothes.

She partnered with Miyako Nakamura, the former head designer at Zac Posen, to create a line of classic shift dresses, pencil skirts, and blouses in muted colors that would appeal to working women of all ages. Together, they spent hours ensuring that each outfit was tailored to fit a wide range of women's bodies. And with a third cofounder, Narie Foster, who headed up operations, they invented a system of selling these outfits to busy professional women without requiring them to spend any time shopping.

The most common way to become a millionaire, according to someone who studied over 100 of them

Owning a business is the path to becoming a millionaire, according to the research of one author. Jaime Masters, who decided to survey more than 100 millionaires to see how they achieved the goal. Entrepreneurship, while risky, gives you more control over your fortune and destiny than other paths, Masters says. Click through to read more, and visit her website to read case studies from her interviews with self-made millionaires who make their fortunes on their own terms. businessinsider.com - Jaime Masters, author of "The Eventual Millionaire: How Anyone Can Be an Entrepreneur and Successfully Grow Their Startup," hoped to change her lifestyle when she was 24.

Masters, who wrote under the name "Jamie Tardy," was over $70,000 in debt and hated her job as a project manager for a company that installed computer equipment.

"I felt stuck, because I knew we were in debt and I couldn't quit my job because of the choices I had made," she writes.

Instead of giving up, Masters began to study and interview people who had already reached that goal.

Based on research from Thomas Stanley in "The Millionaire Next Door," and the many "first-generation rich" millionaires she interviewed, she come acrosscommonalities that led their successes. You can read some of her case studies on her website.

She writes that the one proven way to become a millionaire is not by investing, nor is it real estate. Instead, more millionaires have made their money by owning their own businesses than by any other means.

These Female Founders Put Health First to Thrive in Business

Entrepreneurship is not easy. The idea many people have of the "lifestyle" of an entrepreneur may be one of freedom and power, but the reality is a little more nuanced than that. You don't just need to invest capital; you need to be able to fully invest yourself, and that means being healthy. Mary Deelsnyder with Entrepreneur sat down with four women founders to discuss the ups and downs of being an entrepreneur. The women discuss the different demands on their time, working long hours, the importance of balance, and how choice fuels what they do--which is free and powerful. Click through for the full interview.

entrepreneur.com - If you were to believe the headlines about entrepreneurship, you’d think it was the sexiest job around. A job of passion and wealth. Pick something you love, find a venture capitalist, sell before you’re 30 and live the good life.

If only it were that easy. The reality of entrepreneurship is that in order to have this lifestyle, you have to ensure that you have the physical, mental and financial health -- and be invested in the long game.

When you ask an entrepreneur what a typical day looks like, one theme emerges: She is always working. There is no happy hour at 4 p.m. on a Friday afternoon, because she doesn’t "clock out" that early. At 4 p.m. on Friday, her day may only be getting started. Most likely, she's working into the evening and preparing to work over the weekend. Personal relationships can be strained if the non-entrepreneur in the relationship needs a lot of time from the entrepreneur. If friends and family aren't understanding of the limits on an entrepreneur's time, they likely won't be in that relationship for very long.

These Founders Are Living Their Mission to Empower Women

mydomaine.com - MYDOMAINE: How did you meet and come up with the idea for Above the Glass?

HEATHER SERDEN: We met probably between the fifth and seventh grade. So Above the Glass was something I was working on, and I needed someone to help execute the editorial site. My background is in finance, and Danielle is a small-business owner with an editorial background.

DANIELLE YADEGAR: I was a fashion editor at Cosmopolitan. And then I started my own (jewelry) business.

HS: I wasn’t sitting there thinking I want to start a business. I actually met Katherine Power in 2011 when [Who What Wear was] thinking about taking on institutional investment. The COO at the time learned that I could do financial modeling, so she hired me to build a story with numbers to present to potential investors. There was a huge learning curve. I learned so much about digital businesses. And then I did the same thing with a few other businesses on a consulting basis and for my master’s thesis. I realized that there was a lot of uncertainty or fear around the business and financial aspects of starting up. I had the knowledge and the background to help these female founders. Then I had this experience. I was in the workplace and didn’t really believe sexism was real. I thought the playing field was level. But when you get older, employers start looking at you differently. They think, “Oh this person is on the mommy track.” And I was like, wait a minute, I need to go do my own thing. I know how to do it. There are a bunch of women who don’t know how to do it, so that’s going to be my business.

Women's Wallstory: A Headhunter's Open Letter To Wall Street

linkedin.com - As it is Women's History Month, I  want to especially highlight and salute the women on Wall Street.  You continue to change the financial, technology landscape and shatter glass ceilings with roaring femininity and tactful finesse. From the board room to the trading floor and beyond keep going.  Your success is our success as we continue to fight for equality in the workplace and in dollars and cents.

Dear Wall Street:

You are notoriously known for being male dominated, cutthroat and a fast paced environment.  In recent years, you have tried to show you mean business when it comes to more women representation throughout all facets of your organizations.  You have implemented programs to include more women into your workforce with tremendous strides.  You have created programs to support and retain female employees.  As well as, recruit new ones.  Especially, this month as we all celebrate women, there have been plenty of feature stories about your  high ranking female employees.  Even reentry programs for women, who stayed home to raise children and are ready to come back to work.  All, great for Company branding purposes as your websites are populated showing women inclusion.
