A member of Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women Hall of Fame and the mother of two daughters, Betty-Ann Heggie is all too familiar with the daily issues women encounter as they strive to live in two worlds, stepping from the demands of the home to those of the workplace. As a result, Betty-Ann now devotes her time as a speaker, author and mentor to helping women access the opposite energies present in each of them so they will not only survive, but thrive, thus unlocking the secret of their full potential.
After twenty-six years in the corporate world, Betty-Ann answered the call to share her lessons learned at the pink rock of potash with other women. She has devised a new kind of “science” called Gender Physics, which enables women to move smoothly back and forth between their natural compassionate feminine energy, which readily builds relationships and the courageous masculine energy which is not afraid to take a risk.
Today, Betty-Ann spreads her message through her keynote speeches and workshops across North America as well as her own blog! Weekly posts bring readers insight on Gender Physics, Networking and of course Womentorship – how having a mentor can ultimately lead you to achieve success in business and personal endeavors.
I’m so fortunate in that not only do I have a working relationship with Betty-Ann, but I also consider her a friend. Of course, because she holds the role so well, this relationship is also one of mentor and protege. I learn from Betty Ann all the time, those “ah-ha!” moments come to me far more often now than they did a year ago, because of her influence.
Together, we created a giveaway for the holidays to accomplish two things:
1) Help someone with their holiday and new year by giving them the opportunity to stock their shelves with books and other items from Chapters (a way of paying homage to the inspiration and knowledge an author can share, like Betty Ann Heggie intends to with her book release next year) and;
2) Help share more about Betty Ann’s philosophy on Gender Physics and Womentorship with my readers.
One of my Canadian readers is going to win a $250 Chapters Gift Card to give you the opportunity to buy books that inspire you, motivate you – and if the kids need a new touch-and-feel book and it helps you keep your sanity – that works too! This giveaway is about giving you the freedom to explore books and ideas (and mentorship and Betty Ann Heggie!)
To enter, just use the Rafflecopter form below (it’s easy, I promise!) and look for all the bonus entry options too! Have fun, and good luck everyone!

Mentorship has been so key in my life. There are a handful of women that have guided me through some difficult things, and I treasure them.
My parents were my mentor’s. I’ve been a mentor for many years to my own children, all my neighborhood children, Big brother’s and Big Sisters, Community Club house and in everyday life. I try and always set a good example for our youth, for they are our future. <3
An older lady at my church mentored me as a child and now I mentor my foster babies parents whenever I am abe to.
I never had a mentor, but I sure wish I did especially in my younger years! I hope to be able to mentor my own daughter as she gets older.
My mom was/is the strongest woman I know.I am sure I could write a book of all of the things she has taught me.
I didn’t have a mentor when I was growing up, but I wish did. I wonder how thing would be different if I had a mentor when I was growing up.

I have never had a mentor, I don’t think I know anyone who has had one, or who has one now. It’s a topic I sorely lack knowledge in.
I was a mentor for young girls with bbbs and believe its so important to have a role model who is positive and healthy.
I thought i posted but don’t see it… I have had a few different mentors. My mother, from the beginning. A high school teacher who taught me about global injustice and inequality and a university professor who taught me to write a proper essay.. I hope to have more mentors of various ages- there is a lot to learn from others.
Always wished I had a mentor, someone to help guide you through life’s tough decisions.
I’ve had a few fabulous mentors in the form of women family members, the most significant of whom was my Grandmother.
I didn’t have a mentor growing up, I wish I had though.
