Every time I interview a 40-something woman for 40:20 Vision I ask them what three “gifts” would they give a 20-something if they were a “Forty-Godmother”. Today I am adapting three “wishes” from the advice shared by a woman / CEO / investor / advisor in one my 7×7 mentoring salons. I love what she had to say.
1.
Don’t ask what do you want to do for a living, ask yourself what kind of life do you want to live?
2.
Learn how to listen. Learn how to take feedback. If you want to step up and speak up you have to listen first.
3.
Being powerful is like being a lady, if you have to tell someone you are you aren’t. Build your confidence, a nurturing network and presentation skills to build your power.
