My beautiful daughter Caroline is forging her path free of many of the barriers that her Grandmother experience climbing the career ladder. Caroline is strong, confident, and on a mission due in large part from the support and the example set by her Grandmother, Modi.

My daughter has been my rock. Caroline doesn't have to say a lot. The joyful and sometimes painful look in her eyes tells me everything. Her gaze is all I need to get through during a difficult day.

On this International Day of the Girl, THIS GIRL is the picture of the future of great women supporting other women.

Sometimes women are so focused on their drive they don't see the blind spots of what supporting other women can do to excel their drive. Women of experience must drop the resentment of what we had to endure to break the glass ceiling. That resentment shows up in making the next generation of women in leadership feel that THEY TOO have to break barriers.

Why not make it easy or easier for them?

On this Day of the Girl, we strong women of experience need to look long and hard at the extent that we support other women, both experience, just coming up and everywhere in between. Men have been doing it for years and make it look easy.

Here's to making it easier for all women around the world, not just today but every day.
