Dale Coudert Gets the Star Treatment!

Dale Coudert started the Coudert Institute to bring people together to discuss subjects and matters with people who can make a difference



    PALM BEACH, FL, May 06, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dale Coudert has participated in The Star Treatment, a prestigious video series hosted by renowned lawyer and television personality, Star Jones. This premier video series is extremely limited — Marquis Who's Who qualifies 500 listees on an annual basis for this elite service. Backed by a storied career in media that spans more than two decades, Star works closely with Marquis listees to assist with networking goals and commemorative efforts that can be shared with a worldwide audience.

Ms. Coudert, who played an integral role in establishing the Women's Bank, the first American bank dedicated to helping women achieve financial creditworthiness and independence, is also the founder of the Coudert Institute in Palm Beach. Created over twenty years ago, the non-profit, non-partisan institute brings together its members for lectures, seminars, and events that feature experts in the arts and sciences, finance, and culture. Married at 21 and divorced a decade later, Ms. Coudert has evolved from a wife, mother, and homemaker into a business woman and champion of women's financial independence.

In this groundbreaking interview with Star Jones, Ms. Coudert describes that transition and how divorce at 30 years old convinced her of the need to become, and help other women become more financially literate and independent. Rather than be discouraged by the setback, Ms. Coudert used it as a springboard to educate herself and begin making a life for herself, rather than tying herself to another person. She started her career in real estate, first in residential, then in commercial. One day, she met with a lawyer who asked her to become part of a bank. Ms. Coudert was taken aback by the offer, as she had never even balanced her own checkbook prior to that point, but she accepted the offer and in so doing, made her first steps toward founding the Coudert Institute. She was fortunate to be in the company of older women who mentored her and helped her take her career to the next level: Dorothy Orr and Mickie Siebert were among the names Ms. Coudert mentioned as having provided this help.

The next turning point in Ms. Coudert's career came when she met with a Russian banker, who invited her to come to Russia as a lecturer. She found herself speaking in both Russia and China on the banking industry, as well as women's importance in the field. In Europe, she learned that women had jobs as doctors and pharmacists, which came as a cultural shock to her, as these were different career opportunities than what she had been exposed to in the United States. Upon her return to America, she began bringing other entrepreneurs abroad in order to expand their horizons as hers had been.

When asked about how she might advise other women, Ms. Coudert replied that first and foremost is the ability for any woman to secure a line of credit. One of the first exercises she would do with her protégés was to take out a loan of $25,000 and pay it back slowly to build their credit scores. She advised, "Talk to a stranger you don't know. Try to find out about someone's feelings and you find out you're not so separate – what a wonderful thing to think about!" Indeed, Ms. Coudert's lessons can connect people of every stripe and background. With a passion for inclusivity and a mission to empower women, Ms. Coudert is surely worthy of the Star Treatment.
