In It To End It
There is something very satisfying when you work with people who strive to empower women every day. One of the reasons I enjoy working at Avon is exactly that. We empower women. I graduated from INSEAD a few months ago, and I can say that INSEAD provided me with the opportunity to change my life. I started working at Avon a few months ago, and I can say that Avon provides me with an opportunity to change peoples lives.
A few days ago, I had a chance to spend some time “in the field”. What could have been an exercise in understanding “the last mile” became much more than an exercise. It became a relationship. I’m not going to write about the conversations that I had with these women – that’s probably too private and I’d rather err on the side of caution. Instead I will talk about the impression that these women made – something private to me that I don’t mind sharing.
I have seen a lot of powerfully moving sites in my life: Niagra falls, Taj Mahal, Pyramids of Giza. I have been in the presence of some powerfully moving people in my life: CEOs, preachers, gurus, my parents. The energy that these places and people exude gets inside of your – fuels you. But Avon Representatives take powerful women to a whole new level.
So positive, so determined. They are the embodiment of entrepreneurs. They know their customers, they know their products, they live the lifestyle, and they give back to their communities.
I’m humbled by their influence. They say
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
I think the title and the graphic give you a hint of what’s to come.
Stay tuned beautiful people.
Global Citizen… OUT.
