What three “gifts” would you give a 20-something if you were a “Forty-Godmother”? 40-something women share three things to help a 20-something get a head start on the confidence to make decisions that are right for themselves. No more woulda, coulda, shoulda.
1. Learn how to brag well. Or as an old boss of mine used to say, promote positive gossip. Own your successes and get comfortable promoting yourself with power and grace.
2. Don’t be afraid of no.
3. We tend to create a picture our mind of what our future will be like, what our family, friends and lifestyle will be. It’s great to have dreams and goals but expect surprises and push yourself to go outside of the lines.
