sphinxx: professional development for women in business


Q: Why "sphinxx"?
A: The name "sphinxx" was chosen because of the characteristics of the Sphinx in ancient Greek mythology, having the body of a lion and the head and breast of a human female. This image personifies the dichotomy of women in leadership - the lioness as a natural leader and manager of the pride, but with the benefits of our feminine traits as well.

Q: What's with the extra "x"?
A: The "xx" in sphinxx is a reference the "XX" chromosome in the human genetic makeup that only women possess.

Q: So what is sphinxx all about?
A: sphinxx supports the advancement of women in leadership by connecting them with products, services, information and events that enhance and simplify the blending of their personal and professional lives.

We screen, sort and rate the vast information, services and events directed at successful career women and present it in one convenient place - www.sphinxx.org - making sphinxx the preferred source of trusted information on professional development, personal services and making connections.

Q: So sphinxx is just a website?
A: sphinxx.org is a big part of what we do, but our online services are also supplemented with boardroom events that give sphinxx leaders the opportunity to engage with other like minded women and business leaders in professional and thought provoking debate.

Q: Aren't there already lots of women's organizations available to the general public?
A: Yes. But we aren't just another women's group. We bring together all the groups and organizations that are already out there, in one central place - www.sphinxx.org We provide free events listings for all organizations hosting events targeted at women in leadership, and allow providers of events, products and services targeted at senior women in business to advertise on the site as well. It's all about connecting women with products and services that make it easier to get more out of life.

Q: Who are sphinxx leaders?
A: sphinxx leaders are educated, experienced and motivated women holding senior roles in corporations or the public sector or are successful entrepreneurs who have launched their own companies. They are interested in pursuing their fullest potential; are continually growing and learning and dealing with the challenges of their career and personal life; are seen as both contributors and influencers over their peers and households; and have high income earning potential.

But above all, our leaders are busy, and they value sphinxx because it saves them time while keeping them connected.

Q: How can I have my company or product featured on sphinxx.org?
A: Sponsors of sphinxx are event organizers and providers of information, products and services who seek access to the sphinxx audience as a talent pool, consumers, influencers or decision makers. We welcome new sponsors to sphinxx - you can email us at mail@sphinxx.org to receive an information pack.
