The Fan that Fuels the Flame
• Join the FierceWomen Movement!
• Women in top leadership positions—as equity law
partners, medical school deans, and corporate executive
officers—remain stuck at 10%-20%. Their “share of
voice”—the average proportion of representation on op-ed
pages and corporate boards, as TV pundits, and in
Congress—is just 15 percent.1
Now more than ever, girls
need diverse, visible role models to envision what’s possible
for them.

The Fan that Fuels the Flame
• Studies show that exposure to strong women leaders from
every field in a hands-on, up-close and personal, small, group
setting helps girls set higher goals for themselves.2
• We bring together strong women leaders from diverse backgrounds to
inspire, engage, and create a vision, hopefully with the expanded sense
of what’s possible for the girls' futures.

The Fan that Fuels the Flame
• Societies around the world need to feature female leaders
more. Women are under-represented in textbooks globally.3
• Only 27.8% of U.S. women volunteered in 2015.4
Many female
leaders want to help, yet they are too busy to find simple,
impactful ways to give back to the next generation of young
women and girls. We offer a low-cost, low-time, high-impact
solution.

The Advantage
There’s nothing else like it! No one else brings women leaders together to share
their stories and provide inspiration to girls in a simple, multimedia platform while
helping them create a vision for their future selves.
FierceWomen is a unique, fun, soon-to-be patented process for women and girls.
Girls learn about strong women leaders in their community, and get to formulate
questions in advance.
Intimate group settings means direct contact; a chance to shake hands and learn
directly from female leaders in the community.

Competition
Full S.T.E.A.M. Ahead
The only other vision books on the market
right now are from the self-help, religious, or
spiritual space, rather than career-based
with a focus on S.T.E.A.M.
Journals
There are journals and diaries that are
geared toward middle and high school girls,
but lack the direct mentor engagement.
12
13. #FierceWomenProject
Differentiation
Self-help books lack proprietary
framework with original content, and are
not specifically focused on women
leaders who are mentoring girls.
Diaries and journals don't have the
FierceWomen: Portraits of Possibility
brand and concept of girls being inspired
and helped by diverse women leaders.
