The Survey

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Fractured Friendship Survey. The wisdom you shared will definitely enhance my book! I am so appreciative of the sisterhood of women who helped.

 

More to come on the findings soon...

 

Kappa Delta Sorority, the sponsor of National Women’s Friendship Day, has compiled a list of ideas for telling our friends how much they mean to us today! I‘ve listed the best of them and added a few ideas of my own:

This entry is simply a sincere Thank You to the more than 1200 women who bared their souls and shared their stories about friendship by completing the Fractured Friendship Survey. Your stories have been more insightful, compelling, and inspiring than I ever could have imagined.

 

If you haven't yet responded to the survey, there still is time to do so. Just click here. As I read your responses carefully over the coming weeks, I will look for common themes that synthesize your collective wisdom. Thanks again to all my old friends and new ones!

 

Best,

Irene

Your response has been nothing short of remarkable. Over the last six weeks, more than 600 women have shared their stories and responded to the Fractured Friendships Survey.

 

The survey is designed to collect information about the nature and impact of fractured friendships. If you still haven't taken it, click here to contribute your experience. And please share the link with other women you know---as my goal is to reach at least 1000 women from all walks of life.

The survey shouldn't take more than 10 minutes of your/their time. Each additional response will definitely enrich my understanding and, hopefully, help other women think about and assess their friendships.

Many thanks to those who have already responded!

 

 

 

 

My niece, Amy, emailed me on her lunch hour earlier this afternoon to tell me that she had caught Tyra’s Bank’s TV show that focused on the topic, When Good Friends Go Bad. Thanks, Amy!

If you, like me, missed the show, you may want to take a peek at the recap on Tyra's website tomorrow.

By 5PM EST, there were already more than 50 posts on her blog from viewers who resonated to the topic and expressed their personal hurt about a fractured friendship of their own. There's still time to tell your own story of failed female friendships by filling out the Fractured Friendship Survey. You are also welcome to post your stories here...

With a little help from my friends and your friends----more than 500 people have already responded to the Fractured Friendships Survey. The survey is designed to collect information about the impact of female friendships on the lives of women.

If you still haven't taken the survey, click here to contribute your experience. Please share the link with other women. The survey shouldn't take more than 10 minutes of your time and will help you think about and assess your own friendships.

Using a tool called Survey Monkey, I’ve created a brief questionnaire to solicit ideas and thoughts about women's experiences with female friendships to help shape my book.

The survey shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes of your time and it may help you learn something about yourself and your friendships. Fill out the survey on Fractured Friendships.

When you’re done, please cut and paste the URL so you can share it with your friends, sisters, mothers, daughters, neighbors, and colleagues.
