the journey

Have you ever wanted to make big, sweeping change in the world around you? Have you had thoughts of running for political office? Or perhaps you dream of launching your own company and working for yourself. Or you may simply want to get out of debt, get fit all the while guiding your children towards a great future. 
You can do it.

These are the challenges many modern day women face. The 7 Virtues of a Philosopher Queen returns to philosophical thinking and provides modern day women with a road map of personal and professional success.

In this book, Barb Stegemann will take you on a journey towards uncovering your own authentic answers that will guide you to your own path of living & leading. Through interviews with women of philosophical direction and the great teachings of past philosophers you will embark on your own authentic path, the path you were intended for.

Here are some of the big societal challenges Barb Stegemann asks us to consider and reverse.

Women own the buying power in North America and yet one in five children lives in poverty. Where have we given up our power? Read the chapter on Justice.

The diet industry is a billion dollar industry yet we continue to get heavier and further in debt. The chapters on Moderation and Beauty examine the reversal of this.

In politics women 52% of the voting power in North America is owned by women and yet we have only 20% representation by women in political seats. Why? Read about Courage. 

Passionately positive and intensely engaging, Barb Stegemann is a motivational tour de force. Since her return to Atlantic  Canada fresh from numerous economic and social development triumphs in British Columbia, I have been fascinated by the  way she has entranced, enthralled and encouraged her fellow citizens to rediscover their inner spark and embark on a quest for excellence. This book is much like Barb herself—it serves as a powerful touchstone that gently yet irrevocably forces you to look inward. And with that introspection, comes an unavoidable awareness that each of us is a potential agent of change. For groups and for individuals, this book delivers—in plainspoken language and commonsense wisdom—philosophical direction that can change your life. Follow Barb’s direction, live the 7 virtues and you’ll learn to embrace the leader within! Dawn Chafe, Editor, Atlantic Business Magazine, St. John’s
