You are watching "Let's Talk!" – broadcast conversations hosted in partnership with I-Open, Judson Living and the Women’s Enterprise Network from 2008-2009.

"Let's Talk!" is an example of how to build open, guided conversations focused on topics related to economic development from a woman’s perspective.

The conversations were begun by of a group of women who wanted to strengthen and support dialogue focused on aspects of economic development from a woman’s perspective – areas of economic development not routinely considered.

Conversation themes generated by members - whose average age is ninety years old - include such topics as, “How Women Contribute to Building Quality, Connected Smart Cities,” and "Women, Careers and Lifestyle".

Other conversation topics debated political elections and opinion, explored the subject of women and wealth creation, or the role of love, compassion and self-esteem in collaborative leadership, and how women who may have been life-long caregivers, prepare for living out their inevitable late stages of longevity in new capacities.
