Did anyone watch 60 Minutes and Sheryl Sandberg's interview?
Loved the story about negotiating for Facebook #2 position and her pause to accept the first offer..Her husband said never accept the first offer. Ask Karen Howells from the VOICES Leadership Forum how she helped one of our participants get what she wanted.

Tina Brown (Former Newsweek Editor and The Daily Beast) said she never hires anyone that hasn't failed at something in their career.....Food for thought on risk.

It is a ritual for me to clean out and up my office before New Year's Eve. This year I am donating all the computer equipment stacked to Goodwill. I believe we need to open up space and our minds for new business and opportunities (and fun) to have room for the "next". I learned this from a businessman when I started VOICES and think of his sage advice as a great tip to support success and happiness. Happy New Year to all. Francine

Judi Johansen, President of Marylhurst University, spent time with the women of the VOICES Leadership Forum. As one of our participants shared: Judi is a wonderful example to all of us on how to create a vision, share it with others for clarity and inspiration, and then take action steps to make the vision a reality. I really appreciated your explanation that a vision is sometimes simple and very clear from the start, and other times it is an archeological dig.

Thanksgiving is always a great time to reflect on what is important. I am thankful for "teachers" in my life. I have started 3 businesses with the VOICES Lectures, the VOICES Leadership Forum and Greatwomenspeakers.com. With the collaboration of strong women, wise women, generous women, I have been able to live my life with purpose and joy. To all of you, I wish you blessings and appreciation...and through all these ventures, I now have the opportunity to support other women on their journey.
