How to Sell When You Hate Selling (Emily McSherry) | From a Woman to a Leader (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You know you should be putting yourself out there. Pitching the idea, asking for the meeting, telling people what you're working on. And you keep not doing it, because some part of you is waiting until it's more polished, more proven, more ready. Emily McSherry built her prototype for under a thousand dollars and sold it to five universities before it had a single feature that makes it impressive today. She started her career doing 500 cold calls a week, and she'll tell you plainly that 80 perce
Eleven Months to Go Part-Time — Wendy Cocke on Making Flex Work (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"The business does not care that you want to pick your child up at 3:30. They don't care. But what they do care is that whatever they want delivered is delivered." Wendy Cocke said that to me and I flinched a little. Then I thought about every version of this conversation I've had — in my own career and in years of coaching sessions — and she's right.

Read excerpt

She had spent fifteen years as a marketing strategist; strategy was her specialty, and she was still criticized for not being strategic enough. What she figured
Don't DIY Your AI: Anne Cantera on Adoption Without the Hype (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"A Copilot license is not an AI strategy." Anne Cantera has the t-shirt to prove it. Anne is the founder of Elemental Intelligence. She's been inside enterprise AI projects that went sideways, mentors hundreds of designers, and has an unusually low tolerance for hype — she calls the last three years "the messy middle," and thinks we're finally on our way out of it. In this conversation, we get into what leaders keep getting wrong about AI adoption, and what individual contributors should be doin
How to Be Visible at Work Without Bragging - Susan M Barber (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You have been telling yourself that if you keep doing excellent work, someone will eventually notice. That is what most of us were taught. It is also why so many capable women watch someone with a louder voice get the project, the promotion, and the room. Susan M. Barber was named top talent in IT at a Fortune 500 company, and then a mentor sat her down and told her she wasn't being visible, wasn't talking about her work, and asked why she even bothered coming to the meetings. In this conversati
