Who is a Hot Momma?
A Hot Momma is someone who has achieved success in both their professional and personal lives. These extraordinary women have figured out the key to being able to have the best of all worlds. They do it all and do it well, and no you don't have to be a momma to be Hot Momma. These women are taking charge and creating situations that allow them to flourish in all of their endeavors. See our survey page if you are, or know, a Hot Momma and are willing to share your experience.
Who is a Cool Daddy?
Cool Daddies are also dedicated to making it all work. They excel professionally and still take time to have fulfilled personal lives. These men approach business and family a little differently and know that it's not a choice between a work and play. Cool Daddies know that it's important to have success in all facets of their lives and have structured their life business model to help them do it all. Once again, you don't have to be a daddy to be a Cool Daddy.

What is the Hot Mommas Project?
THE HOT MOMMAS™ PROJECT is an award-winning research endeavor focused on an equation for success: The Life Business Model. We chronicle the equations used by highly successful individuals in and out of the workplace. We believe it is the true key to success and the leadership model of the future.
OUR CORE GOAL is Training Women Leaders. Our research does not sit on a shelf. It becomes an active, living, breathing document and is channeled to educators, students, and business leaders in the form of case studies and curricula. Now, our Beta Toolkits bring a taste of this curricula out of the classroom to you. To date, educators and executives have used our curricula to accomplish one or more of the following learning objectives:
1. Develop business skills...Ranging from financial management to marketing to exit strategy to entrepreneurial thinking. This is the traditional case study model: Teaching business skills. Our approach focuses on critical thinking and interactive exercises.
2. Portray successful role models...Research shows access to role models is a critical factor impacting success in business.
Our case studies serve as role models on paper for all ages.
3. Highlight leadership abilities...Case protagonist leadership skills, beginning with childhood, allow readers to self-identify positive traits. The great ideas come from everywhere. Someone believing it could come from them is the first step.
4. Engage in the "outside of work" conversation...Family is the number two factor impacting women's success in business. Using our curricula allows for a productive, solutions-focused, non judgemental discussion about this sometimes awkward topic.
Hot Mommas cases and curricula can be used individually to support a learning objective, or as part of a business leadership toolkit. Contact us if you have questions about how to use these tools for yourself, or a group.
