Not many people have written a bestselling book and founded a successful company; however, Nova Scotian Barb Stegemann has done both.
She tells CHSJ News women have a different approach then men to doing business, and that can be a real advantage. Some of the qualities she attributes to women include empathy, passion, and an interest in aspects of life other than money.
Stegmann was the keynote speaker at the Pathways to Empowerment conference for International Women’s Day. He book, 7 Virtues of a Philosopher Queen, describes the ways Stegemann achieved her personal and professional success.
Her fragrance line, 7 Virtues, was featured on Dragons’ Den.
