For all this I would like to express a big thank to all the team of the Women's Forum organisation.

I had to travelled many countries, until my boss Jeffrey Rimmelt (CEO of general Electric) just before the G8 offered me to promote me at a higher position at GE, and I answered him that I need to consult with my family counselling, my own G11, if I can reach a consensus. Laugh and applause (Meaning her family, composed by her husband and their 9 children). Clara Gaymard, makes the audience laughing and applause, having sharing her own personal anecdote.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She goes on affording to give a collective advice to the participants: “Many tools are learned in the business life to serve better life with kids, friends, etc. I only have one request today, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, IT IS ONLY ABOUT YOU. You are the world around, forget what is polluted, take everything, resources to share !“---------------------------------------------
That was the message of Clara Gaymard boosting the audience as a preamble of a forum called this year “Energising the world“ that announces the color tone of the women's forum advising her sisters to care for themselves, but without focusing on one own small person and not to forget the rest of world. As they represent themselves, they are identified as the rest of the world. Clara invites them to draw on the resources at once intellectual, business, creatives, societal and personal, in short everything that makes that a woman is complete in our modern era.---------------------------------------------------------------------
Clara Gaymard concludes her introduction with a promising and wise thought: “We will energise the world not because we can serve, may be because we have to ambition it.“
