August 14, 2007PowerPhrase: Please invite a woman
Joho was invited to a high power conference, but when he realized the attendees were 100% male, he declined. He suggested,
* Please use my spot to invite a woman.
Joho knew it was a fabulous networking opportunity, but chose not to take advantage of it because he didn’t want to support the exclusionary nature of the event.

The tone is respectful, but the point made. I think it is a great example of a Power Phrase. Well done!
