Mothers can influence child’s input to society

MUCH has been written about the lack of women on the corporate ladder. As a professional, my mothering instincts overcame my desire to become a high-flying business executive.

I decided that as I had four sons, I would multiply my skills by four, thus quadrupling my influence in the corporate world. After all, "the hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world".

My targets were demanding, working long hours, stretching my professional skills to the limit, guiding my protégés along the path of excellence in all areas of their lives, academic, cultural, spiritual and sporting.
