WWIRE 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SPEECH
\nCristina LUNGHI
\nSeptember 29, 2022 - Champs ELysees.
\n 
\n 
\nMadame President and Founder of WWIRE
\nDear Janicka
\nLadies and Gentlemen
\n 
\nIt is a great honor but also a great responsibility to open this 10-year anniversary ceremony of WWIRE.
\n 
\n10 years, already and only 10 years considering how far we have come.
\n 
\nYou have made this network the 1st worldwide network of women in real estate, with a philosophy that I share with 1000 %, based on benevolence, generosity, but also the concern of concreteness, action and the construction of a better world.
\n 
\nYou are an outstanding facilitator, you know how to bring women together, value them, give them a place, promote them, advise them, coach them, recruit them, and feed them with inspiring conferences and testimonials.
\nI'm forgetting many other things, but everyone can add to this list the benefits they have gained from their years with WWIRE.
\n 
\nWWIRE is the network that had to be invented and that you invented to allow women all over the world to meet and help each other.
\nBecause networks are not only important, they are indispensable.
\nAnd especially for women, and even more so for women in real estate.
\n 
\nBecause the network creates an incredible strength and this is the reason why people have been networking for a long time!
\n 
\nThanks to networks, people have been able to reach the highest levels of political and economic power; whether it be school networks, sports clubs, political clubs, think tanks, morning breakfasts, after work sessions, business trips or conferences, and so on... Because the network is the fastest and surest way to get information, on who is who, who is doing what and with whom, etc. ....
\nthe network offers many opportunities.But for that, you need time... leave your house early in the morning, come back late, travel in short, take care only of yourself... that's why for a long time it was said that behind every great man there was a woman, who takes care of everything else!
\nThis was the usual way of gaining power and doing business...
\nI say it was, because it is changing ... especially with new networks that have new forms and modes of operation as WWIRE.
\nFor women, there is an additional reason to belong to networks: the very specificity of being a woman in a male-dominated system! 
\nWomen's networks are therefore necessary for many reasons:
\nThe first and most important one for me is to have the opportunity to meet between women. To be reassured.
\nSeeing and hearing, from other women, that the problems we encounter are those of all women: such as guilt, lack of time, marital problems, child rearing, management problems, time management, allows us to put things into perspective, to reassure ourselves and especially to understand that it is not the fault of one person but of a system!The second reason, concerns the poor understanding of the organizational systems of the networks that direct the decision-making processes ....
\nA woman manager of a big bank told me one day that for women, it was like entering a soccer field without having ever played... of course they will learn the codes of the networks but they will lose time compared to the men who know them for a long time...
\nSo it is important to save time on understanding the system.
\nA network like WWIRE, which is supportive, allows this crucial time saving.The third reason concerns all the information that a network can give you: in a network, you meet people you have never met before ..... And they give you a lot of informal information about the atmosphere of companies, other networks, etc., about people's behavior, about people who want to change jobs, about available jobs, about stories between people, in short, about current or future opportunities..... It also gives you information about who likes you and who doesn't, about the management style, etc. and it allows you to make informed choices.....That's why I love mentoring so much... it's such a great way to get access to a new network, your mentor's network! But those aren't the only benefits of networking! I'm convinced that since women have entered the game, they have changed the rules!And the internet has helped a lot in this change, the financial crisis too and the needs of the new generations, men and women alike, even more so.
\nAnd here again WWIRE has been able to adapt and create a new way of networking.This new context offers the opportunity to network from home! And WWIRE organizes conference meetings, master classes, etc. via Linkedin, which allows for international and non-binding participation with replay in addition!
\nFinally, and here WWIRE plays a unique role, I would like to talk about women in real estate.I believe that the place of women in real estate has become a major issue for our society.Indeed, the real estate industry, with its construction of industrial, commercial and residential buildings, is one of the three biggest polluters in the world.Therefore, it contributes largely to the aggravation of climate change.It is therefore urgent that this sector of activity changes its operating modes to become sustainable. And it is urgent that this happens.The real estate system is interdependent with other systems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
