The Climb In High Heels

Posted at Apr. 08, 2008 11:47 AM CST | | | | Lynn McMahon, Director of Operations, Communications & High Tech, North America | | | Insightful, instructive, empowering – there are just a few of the words I would use to describe this morning’s Women’s Leadership Forum. | | | I found myself – along with about 40 executive women in the room – echoing the sentiments and life approaches employed by our esteemed panelists: | | | - “Put yourself in the way of opportunities.”
– Maggie Miller, CIO, Warner Music Group
- “Be forward leading…have an agenda…ask the questions…”
– Torie Clarke, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs
- “Be aware that strategy can only work to a certain degree.”
– Deborah Taylor Tate, Commissioner, Federal Communications Commission
- “Strike a balance between how much you listen and how much you talk.”
– Martha Tuthill, COO, Communications & High Tech, Accenture

Not only do you gain different perspectives from an external network, you always have a support network even if you change companies. |
