Sharing is an important concept when thinking about sustainability. Share offices, car share, work share... two of my closest CEO girlfriends are both in charge of share businesses.
Jungae Lim on the left holds a work-share company named AMAPRO. She has a network of professional writers and editors who used to be professionals in the job market, but now retired because of marriage or children. The women are willing to work, but not for fulltime. Companies can ask Jungae's company to edit magazines, write mail magazines and other jobs so she can organize a team of professional-but-halftime writers and get the work done. She is trying to realize a working environment that women with children can join without stressing theirselves out.

Norie Mizutani on the right owns a share-house management company named Tulip Real Estate. Her mission is to let potential mothers around the age of 25-35 gain confidence to bring up children in the future. She manages seven share houses with 100 girls. The share houses have events and small tricks so the "unconfident" girls can educate themselves to get better jobs, live on their own, and prepare for the day when they start bringing up their own children.
