Swift re-recorded her early albums to regain control of her master recordings and reshape the story of her creative output. Similarly, women in family enterprises must own their narratives. Rather than accepting imposed roles as background supporters, they can define their leadership contributions and claim their rightful place in governance and succession. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7cc28a3e4fc67da88c7e86/05173114-b189-4c0d-b4ed-4d35f4828ccf/stephen-mease-sD8RRiYwm6A-unsplash.jpg Blog - What Taylor Swift Can Teach Women in Family Enterprises - Lesson 4: She leverages intangible assets which all women know and have. Swift’s greatest strength lies not only in her music but in her storytelling, authenticity, and emotional connection. Likewise, families’ most valuable capital often isn’t financial—it’s reputation, trust, and shared values. Women are frequently the custodians of these intangible assets, ensuring they endure across generations. https://www.patriciaannino.com/blog/rearview-reflections-elizabeth-arden-smith-college-and-the-evolution-of-womanhood monthly 0.5 2025-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7cc28a3e4fc67da88c7e86/ae460d3d-0c6a-4941-a47e-3678560d4861/91GF13r3JGL._UF894%2C1000_QL80_.jpg Blog - Rearview Reflections: Elizabeth Arden, Smith College, and the Evolution of Womanhood - In 1947 Elizabeth Arden gave a gift of $20,000 for a scholarship to be established at Smith College. The scholarship was to be awarded annually to a senior who has maintained a good scholastic standing, a position of leadership, a high standard of health and an attractive personality and appearance. After reading the very well written book, “Becoming Elizabeth Arden The Woman Behind the Global Empire by Stacey Cordery it is clear to me that Elizabeth Arden worked hard to make herself the woman she described as the scholarship candidate. https://www.patriciaannino.com/blog/vixens-in-power monthly 0.5 2025-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7cc28a3e4fc67da88c7e86/57878de7-c6cb-42fb-9f27-716421d69ce3/sable-flow-pNodosEZ5Oc-unsplash.jpg Blog - Vixens in Power - That same year, Dr. Leon Danco considered the nation’s foremost authority on family-owned business, wrote that the big issue was the father’s acceptance of the daughter as leader, not the daughter's competence. He followed that up years later by declaring, "There is no question that leadership in the 21st century will demand commitment from the best of us and this is not the time to limit participation to only one half of that population, especially when in this long-ignored half there are so many motivated, deeply committed, well-educated and self-prepared women”. https://www.patriciaannino.com/blog/family-trust monthly 0.5 2025-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7cc28a3e4fc67da88c7e86/79fcf22c-e8c1-4ec9-87a3-f2c9a72104f1/sps-universal-MnPF-0DTQ5c-unsplash.jpg Blog - Should the family enterprise be owned in trust form? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.patriciaannino.com/blog/nature-and-legacy monthly 0.5 2025-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7cc28a3e4fc67da88c7e86/6d48595b-6cb3-47cb-b75c-d960d07d6ca8/circle+of+trees Blog - Nature and Legacy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.patriciaannino.com/blog/nasa-trust monthly 0.5 2025-04-28 https://www.patriciaannino.com/blog/how-will-you-measure-your-life monthly 0.5 2025-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7cc28a3e4fc67da88c7e86/22fb5bff-e957-4187-bad8-6fe2798a4311/bookcover.jpg Blog - Book Recommendation: How Will You Measure Your Life?

Boston issued bonds to purchase 527 acres of West Roxbury, to be known as Franklin Park with the intent that the bonds be repaid when the centennial disbursement occurred. Franklin Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, remains Boston’s largest public space but in the end because of lawsuits filed for mismanagement of his fund, not one penny of Frankin’s money was used for its purchase. https://www.patriciaannino.com/blog/types-of-power monthly 0.5 2025-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7cc28a3e4fc67da88c7e86/38601693-c1ac-45f1-a10b-cf6b4087977d/mark-de-jong-k2dXO7fkZF4-unsplash.jpg Blog - How do you use your power? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.patriciaannino.com/blog/a-little-family-enterprise-planning-goes-a-long-way monthly 0.5 2025-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7cc28a3e4fc67da88c7e86/ac44fa20-1bd7-451e-b44d-104181c67fac/amy-hirschi-K0c8ko3e6AA-unsplash.jpg Blog - A Little Family Enterprise Planning Goes a Long Way - Seeking professional support can alleviate the initial fear in beginning these conversations with your family and business team. https://www.patriciaannino.com/blog/remember-the-family-caregiver-can-go-first monthly 0.5 2025-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7cc28a3e4fc67da88c7e86/4c36003c-9497-453c-a2c1-c9e5249c02cc/national-cancer-institute-BxXgTQEw1M4-unsplash.jpg Blog - Remember: The Family Caregiver can go first… - I saw that first hand as a primary caregiver with my mother’s struggle with Alzheimer’s disease.

Once home to hardworking immigrant families from Italy, it was also the neighborhood of Sacco and Vanzetti, Charles Ponzi and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy. Organizations like the North End Industrial Home and the North Benet Street School helped to educate and serve the community. With St. Leonard's of Port Maurice Church at its heart, la via vecchia (the old way) is woven through its narrow, winding streets, brick buildings, restaurants and pastry shops. Today, neighbors and tourists alike meet for coffee and cannolis, unaware of the neighborhood's complex history. Local author and resident Patricia Annino reveals the resilient journey from one of America's poorest slums to a place of opportunity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7cc28a3e4fc67da88c7e86/1613775942612-RN5RKRTD2CNU41BRQJBJ/POWER+STRENGTH+_+PERSERVERANCE+vFrontCOVER.jpg Books - POWER, STRENGTH, & PRESERVERANCE: What women know about other women but search for in themselves. Female power did not start with the feminist movement. It did not start with the #MeToo movement. Female power is a primal force that crosses generations, cultures, and continents. It is connected to the body, to instinct, to intuition, and to nature. So how do we harness our female power in today’s world - at work, at home, in our lives? How do we understand our power, use our power and keep our power? These questions are raised and answered in this book. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7cc28a3e4fc67da88c7e86/1602613645917-YQI5Y8UOM3D57U55BPVK/51QFy4LLjvL.jpg Books - Women & Money: A Practical Guide to Estate Planning Women in the United States today control 75% of the total personal wealth, fill more than half the jobs and earn more than half the college degrees. Women make up the fastest growing sector of new business owners, the fastest growing sector of the U.S. investor base and, for the first time in history, nearly half of all substantial investors – those with more than $100,000 of investable assets – are WOMEN! Yet, most American women have not yet taken steps to put the legal mechanisms in place through estate planning that will protect their assets, their families, and themselves. This book is for YOU! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7cc28a3e4fc67da88c7e86/1602613804892-8V1BX7AB6UYJ12MK8XXN/51uqJtTcT1L.jpg Books - Women in Family Business: What Keeps You Up at Night? Annino addresses the psychology, relational and financial issues impacting women in family owned businesses: wives who want their husbands to retire; mothers who want to treat their children fairly; widows who don’t know whether to keep or sell the business; stepmothers who feel like outsiders; daughters who want their fathers’ approval; sisters who want the same opportunities as their brothers; and even a daughter-in-law or sister-in-law who wants to be treated with respect. Written by a team of advisors, each of whom has more than two decades of experience consulting for family businesses. This book provides women with the survival tools for taking care of themselves and their families. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7cc28a3e4fc67da88c7e86/1602613750509-78H0HFPFOCKRDXLJWEZO/51jwr65I9zL.jpg Books - It’s More Than Money, Protect Your Legacy Is each generation of your family aware of the “family brand” – the foundational values you want them all to share? Have you discussed the objectives – in business or philanthropy or investments or family activities – that will translate those values into a family plan? Do you have the enabling structure (legal estate and business planning documents, financial investments and the team of advisors) in place to carry out the plan? Most families cannot answer “yes” to all these questions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7cc28a3e4fc67da88c7e86/1602613888376-BNQDPE3K78DZOGJDLPU4/51upWEgZtOL.jpg Books - Cracking the $$ Code: What Successful Men Know And You Don't (Yet) Practical getting-ahead lessons from a successful woman who learned it in the trenches.
