I hope you were able to read my post on NeverSayDiet.com about Soak which was my pick of the week. I was very pleased to do an interview with Jacqueline Sava about her accomplishment in creating such a fine product! In addition, to our discussion on Real Size Runway, Jacqueline also spoke about what is means to be a women in business. Jacqueline said:

“The foundation of our company Soak Wash Inc. is led and supported by Canadian business women. Our customers are (predominantly) women, from lingerie boutique owners, to department store buyers to international distributors. Many of our suppliers, consultants and advisors are also Canadian business women. Through our products and brand, we not only present Soak Wash Inc. to the international scene, but also the contributions of the many other women led organizations with whom we collaborate.

As active members in the community we work to promote women as business leaders and educated members of the community on women in business. Jacqueline is active with OWIT, Organization of Women in Trade, CYBF, sitting on the advisory board for the Canadian Youth Business Foundation, speaking at Toronto’s small business forum and lecturing/ teaching at various schools and organizations. We collect information on international issues; regulations etc., then, refine it, validate it, document it, apply it and store it for future reference. That way, when other business leaders ask us questions on topics where we may have struggled, we can quickly and easily offer up solutions, direction and our business’ success story as an example.

We also support new business owners by providing mentoring, guidance and leadership as young companies, led by women, take their first steps onto the international market. We would not be where we are today- UK, US, AUS, NZ, JAP if it weren’t for other women business leaders who gave us similar support when we needed it, as we grew.

We are proud of the international exposure our brand earns and strive towards representing Canadian businesses and women as we grow worldwide. We take this honor very seriously, knowing we represent more than the collective of our products and industry, we represent all Canadian business women.”

I am sorry to have been out of touch but we were very busy this week at the store. What Not to Wear came to film another episode and we had so much to do to get the store ready. This is the final episode of the season.

The subject was Theresa from upstate New York. She is a cello player and needed to refresh her look.
