I think too often when we think of what makes a powerful woman, we think of a woman not willing to sacrifice her own success for the advancement of her spouse.
Today’s powerful woman, is educated, wealthy, running her own show and STILL finding time to “upgrade” her man and make him shine!
Let’s face it all of these men are great but they would not be where they are today had they not been with these powerful,intelligent and nurturing women.
