A surprising revelation is that women like cooperation even more than they enjoy chocolate! Admittedly, this would be a hard choice for me because I love dark chocolate but cooperative living gives you more time to eat chocolate! A recent Emory University study used an MRI brain scan and found that women's brains light up with pleasure during cooperation. As this article states, “We women love to join groups, give advice, and help each other to succeed-because we're wired for it!”
We all know this but I see it first hand at a program I run “The Cavalry Club.” The program is designed around networking, presentations and a collaborative discussion about a provocative topic. The venue for every woman: entrepreneurs, corporate professionals, domestic goddesses, moms, muses and miracle workers...aren't we we all? I tell women to prepare to be acknowledged, accepted and supported while learning something and about someone new. Most importantly we ask each other for help and cooperation with what we need in our lives. The list ranges from nannies to jobs and from husbands to money. I find the individual women amazing and they really make a deliberate effort to help strangers. By the time the event ends all the strangers have become friends.
