BOOK Rebecca Sive

Rebecca Sive Speaking Topics

  • Every day really is Election Day: Proven strategies for success for women seeking political power and influence in American public life

  • Women in the U.S. Healthcare Marketplace: Caregivers, Decisionmakers and Gatekeepers

    As our new and tech-savvy President takes charge, and as mega-trends like digitizing medical records for patients and their families gain wider currency, women hold the key to a healthy America. Why? Because women comprise a rapidly increasing percentage of health care professionals. In addition, they are America’s primary family caregivers and health-care decision makers at all income levels. Governments are providing billions to spread the scope of health IT. Business is creating new health IT products. Providers are developing new strategies for patient care. Women’s voices must be heard to make those efforts successful and to assure that we reach the so-far elusive goals of reducing costs while improving outcomes.

    For this presentation, Rebecca draws on her thirty years of experience developing women’s health programs, including counsel to the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois. That experience includes Rebecca’s findings for the City of Chicago, published in the Urban Women’s Health Agenda, marking one of the earliest efforts by a major American city to identify the issues and create new approaches to effective women’s and girls’ health care for America’s cities. Rebecca also draws on her recent counsel to a health IT firm, launching a personal health record product for girls and women.

  • Life Lessons for the Woman on the Move

    Wishful thinking won’t get you where you want to go. And wishful thinking won’t create the change you and your sisters can believe in. Taking these lessons to heart will: Sisterhood is powerful; the personal is the political; leave no stone unturned; confront and co-opt when you have to; slay the dragons in your path; and many more.

    To illustrate the power of sisterhood in advancing women’s careers and realizing their dreams, Rebecca draws on her experience shaping campaigns for women’s equality and justice, on behalf of leading national advocacy groups, such as Women Employed, the YWCA, the National Women’s Political Caucus, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and the Women’s Business Development Center. She also draws on her writings, as well as on her leadership in philanthropy, government and business as one of the earliest women officers of Playboy Enterprises.

  • The New Progressive Era: A View from the Barricades

    The 2008 presidential election brought new attention to the world of community organizing and the lessons of its founder, Saul Alinsky. Trained as a community organizer by Alinsky’s students, Rebecca applies her understanding of the power of community organizing to analyzing the new federal era and the ways in which public interest advocates are approaching the opportunities it presents for victories on matters uppermost in the public’s mind: health care and economic opportunity.
