Damsels in Success

There is a new site for women in business to connect, publish, and share information about work as well as dreams for success. It just launched so I haven't really played on it, but I thought the "ladies" might want to check it out at damselsinsuccess.com.

From my brief surf of the new site, the topics range from sharing your dream jobs to managing professional risks to seeking career advice. The site's design is really nice. The featured members have cool photos of themselves with fun, wallpaper background. However, design aside, the content/connections is what will count, and if this site really works like a Linkedin or a MySpace for women professionals, then it is golden for women as well as the CEO/Founder,Harleen Kahlon.

Kahlon, a former lawyer and executive recruiter, has this to say about the need for her site:

In 2007, life is complicated for women, figuring out how to make our professional dreams and ambitions come true amidst all the other complexities. Women have changed over the decades, and balancing our often competing identities is a huge challenge. But, although women have changed, we at Damsels think it's strange that content created for us (and, in many cases, by us) has not. Think about it...How often do you come across an article that speaks to you about your professional life?
Maybe we should all sign up and give it a test drive!?!
