Rising Numbers of Single Women Have New Help

Today's woman--single and otherwise--has to meet challenges unheard-of in previous generations. As the number of single women continues to climb, the need to provide affordable, relevant help grows. 'Secrets you wish your mom told you' is a series of online classes that offer real help you can use right away in your everyday life.

Chicago, IL, August 01, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Today SWWAN(R) Inc. and the SWWAN Foundation announce the first of their annual Women's Empowerment Conference to celebrate Single Working Women's Week, August 2 -8. Today is the final countdown to registering for the 2009 conference entitled “Secrets You Wish Your Mom Told You.” Attendees will learn practical real-life tips in these secret-sharing sessions this August 3-6.

Statistics show that 51% of women in America today are single, and the marriage rate here and in almost all countries around the world is decreasing. Despite society’s focus on couples, single women continue to thrive and look for new ways to connect and learn. The first annual conference offers a series of affordable, virtual sessions for single—and other—women to hear hard-core (and hard-won) advice from top experts in many fields.

Since most single women lead complex, busy lives, all sessions are online--no need for busy women to get dressed or go out. These presenters are women who've developed tremendous expertise and are willing to share the powerful tips they've found that help woman make a positive difference in their life and work—right away.

Attendees use a computer and phone--or can just call in to benefit from the audio alone--and get answers that can make a difference in how they perform their day-to-day actions towards success, however each person defines it.

Details of each session are available at swwan.org/singleworkingwomenweek/2009)_conference/. Ask yourself the questions below (each relates to a session):

1. Ever wonder how your feelings about money might be holding you back from making as much as you might?
