Anne Devereux-Mills – Founder of Parlay Effect – Author of The Parlay Effect: How Female Connection Can Change the World
The minute I exposed real feelings, the other women in the
room said, ‘Oh my God, me too!’
Anne Devereux-Mills is a connector, speaker and advocate. She is also the author of the upcoming book, The Parlay Effect: How Female Connection Can Change the World to be published in January 2020. In this deeply personal book, Anne Devereux-Mills uses her insights as founder Parlay House to show how small actions can create a cascade of positive change–it’s about women lifting up women. A former advertising agency CEO, Devereux-Mills tells her story of how, just short of her 50th birthday, she lost her health to cancer, her last child to college, and her job to the Recession. Feeling she had no identity, she set out to figure out who she really was and how to start again. The result is Parlay House—founded in 2012, an informal and inclusive club of women who gather once a month to hear industry leaders, watch documentary screenings, and to exchange literature and, most consequentially, ideas. Parlay House hosts recurring gatherings in multiple cities, including San Francisco, Oakland, New York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., London, Paris, Atlanta and Denver, with more to come. Recent events have covered a broad range of topics, including dealing with narcissism, battling perfectionism and finding humor in unexpected places.
