We have top-secret codes and passwords for everything: our ATM and credit cards, our email, the alarms at our home and office, our lockers at the gym, for online banking, to get into our cars.

But somehow, we’ve forgotten the most IMPORTANT thing out of all these: ourselves…And WE need a password [read the full article...]

I love being around people who are filled with an infectious enthusiasm for life. They are inspiring and energize me to accomplish my own goals.

Wouldn’t you like to be the person that others crave to be around-that person filled with purpose and a passion for life?

Stop wishing you could be, and decide that you will be…

“We should be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit”
                                                                 Albert Schweitzer

Savvy Woman would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Stiletto Woman Magazine for making us a part of their Blog Tour.

Stiletto Woman is overflowing with Real Women, Real Inspiration, Real Life that will encourage, empower, inform and most of all rekindle the inner spirit of women all over the world.

You will meet amazing women who are making their mark.  As you learn about them and from them, you will find strength to dream big yourself.

Stiletto Woman not only introduces us to many amazing women, but also provides tools to help us in our journey to make our dreams become a reality.

Before you begin your Stiletto Woman experience, take a moment to peek in on our conversation with them: 

Savvy Woman: What is the goal for Stiletto Woman right now?

Stiletto Woman: We have a few goals. One of our goals is to create a voice for the woman you may not hear about every day. We intend to speak candidly, and address women’s issues from an authentic standpoint-a well-rounded perspective.

Our goal is to create a magazine that’s different from much of what you’ve viewed in the past. We are happy to be the first independent print publication to identify and acknowledge women doing amazing things on the web, in their businesses, and in communities nationwide.

Through our magazine we want to provide content that makes you think, ask questions, and reflect on your current lifestyle to help you live life to the fullest. We don’t print “stuffy” writing or stifling ideologies. We have a hip and stylish brand that shouts empowerment! Our magazine embodies all those things that make us unique.

Our goal is to reach women on a personal level-to be a conduit for change. We have an innovative way of thinking, and want to share that with as many women as we can.

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter if you’re an entrepreneur, mother, wife, stay-at-home mom, business executive, or single woman with no children; most of our innate abilities are the same, so we nurture that. For those who would like to grow be stronger, happier women, we lend a helping hand to make that happen.

Savvy Woman: What is the goal for Stiletto Woman in 5 years (Where do you want to be?)

Stiletto Woman: In five years we’d like to perfect all of those objectives previously mentioned, and have a significant following of readers. We’re always open to change and improvement, so we look forward to being a bigger, more powerful community. We’ll look for ways to build a strong online presence, a superior magazine and opportunities to engage women and girls. We want to be the best at what we do! 

Speaking of the younger generation, we are in the midst of creating a new initiative set for next year that empowers young girls to build esteem, character, and integrity at the early stage-before venturing into their teen years. By targeting the prepubescent age group we hope to positively impact the lives of these girls to help them become better young adults.

So in five years, we hope to be doing more amazing things!

Savvy Woman: How are you going about achieving the goals that you have?

Stiletto Woman: This is a good question, and so multifaceted. Ultimately, however, it all comes down to a few key factors. It’s important for us to know our market. We view the Stiletto Woman reader and supporter as being a contemporary female. To describe her. . .she may have children, as family is important to her. If she doesn’t have children, she helps the younger generation around her. She is educated and open to continuous learning. 

She is conscious of her purchasing habits and what she consumes. It’s not about quantity, but quality.  She is both the married and single female. She’s happy in the skin she’s in, and doesn’t let others define her.

The Stiletto Woman likes to look at the big picture, and is one with big dreams, big goals, and big ideals. She is in tune with the trends, but creates her own style!

We believe it’s critical to know her personally, and be strategic in how we engage her. We desire holistic communication-one built from trust and reliability. Through these ways we can stay true to our purpose.

Keeping this at the forefront, as the driver to what we do, we are more likely to meet our goals. 

Savvy Woman: What is Stiletto Coaching and how is it beneficial to women?

Stiletto Woman: Our Stiletto Style of coaching is very reminiscent of our atmosphere online. We don’t use a rigid, traditional approach to connect with clients. Though very orderly, we kind of throw conventionalism out the window. The process is enthralling and organic. We do not insist clients do anything; we view our role merely as an instrument or agent for change, building, growing, purging, assessing, etc.

Through the In My Stiletto series, we offer six-week empowerment programs that provide exclusive interactive tools you will not find anywhere else. We make it easy to get information about how to start a successful home business, how to put mommy first while keeping kids top priority, and how to put your best YOU forward to make a lasting impression both professionally and personally.

The programs are delivered in a distance learning format. They are divided into two parts-interactive home-study and teleconference instruction. Each consists of small projects, reading material, assignments, case analysis, and feedback.

We also offer a free complimentary coaching session to all new clients. To get an introduction, or to simply see if our coaching style is right for you, email us at empower@stilettowoman.com. 

Savvy Woman:   Do you plan to offer workshops and/or seminars for women?

Stiletto Woman: This year we will debut Stiletto Women Connect, where we build women-only Connector groups within communities to nurture the 3P&E Philosophy we’ve adopted. These membership-based forums will help women cultivate specific areas of their lives and broaden their network of support.

An integral component of the Connector groups is the “Be You” member sessions. This is where new members share a brief, yet powerful time together to learn about our empowered way of thinking. It’s an opportunity to personally connect, and get energized about new possibilities.

Soon, we’ll role out our first model; in a little while we’ll explore opportunities to branch out in other markets with innovative women to head up new groups.

If you have an interest in learning more or leading a group in your area, stay tuned to StilettoWoman.com so you don’t miss a minute.
