ABOUT WHALE HUNTING WOMEN
Whale Hunting Women, a power network of women who do big deals and women who want to learn from them. Members hear and share remarkable stories from Whale Hunting Women and about Whale Hunting Women in all fields of endeavor. Whale Hunting Women celebrates and supports the women who do big deals in business and community.
Women do big deals every day – with grace, strength and passion. With teamwork and teaching and inclusion. With partners and allies and friends. Sometime we don’t think our big deals are big enough; sometimes we take them for granted.
Maybe you are wondering – why whale hunting? We founded the The Whale Hunters based on true stores of how the Inuit people of the far northwest coast of Alaska hunted whales, early each spring. Theirs is a remarkable story of courage, preparation, and collaboration. Everyone in the village took part; everyone had an essential role. In a tiny boat they set out to land the largest creature on earth. Why did they take these risks? Because a whale would feed their village for an entire year!
In June 2008, the inaugural Whale Hunting Women event occurred in Indianapolis. Over 180 women joined together to launch Whale Hunting Women and learned:
- What is whale hunting? A powerful metaphor and how-to process for doing big deals in business and community
- Why women’s talents and preferences make them such good whale hunters
- How to apply The Whale Hunting Process to succeed big deals in business and community
- Motivational stories from Whale Hunting Women, including Lyn St. James, Indianapolis 500 driver and Indiana Lieutenant Governor Becky Skillman
- How to fully utilize the Whale Hunting Women network for learning, support, and motivation
