This week’s news surrounded the women of the Golden Globes, the first awards show of the season. Aside from the Oprah speech for the ages, women were honored by being heard. The “Time’s Up Movement” was front and center in the solidarity of women and men clad in black. From the very first award recipient speech, that of Nicole Kidman, the stage was set to be an epic night. And what a night it was! Empowering and of hope!

 

Every single one of us has a responsibility to this movement. We are the change we wish to see. We can change the culture of young boys and girls by listening to them. It’s begun in the coaches dialog’s with their players on how words do matter. It’s begun by the support of teachers and educators giving resources of how to change “the words” to be used with respect. It’s begun in all the brave women and men who have stepped forward to say “time’s up.” And it’s begun within the family.

Our kid’s want to be heard, so take time to turn off devices and ask them how they want to be the change. Empower them! They are amazing when given the chance to be heard! Altruism is a powerful tool with unexpected results. Being heard does too! Hope lives here!
