You're not hiding, you're not being tentative, you're not speaking conditionally. Be willing to take the risk to say something foolish, speak up, speak out, be heard, don't hide, don't assume that because you work longer hours than everybody else that they all assume you work harder. Assume that if you're there two hours longer, somebody wonders why it takes you two hours longer to do your work. . . . Toot your own horn, be your own PR person, don't assume somebody is going to acknowledge that you did the work. . . . And don't accept responsibility without authority.
Women are big at that.
They go around solving every problem . . . So nobody gives them the credit. Q. Girls are coming to Take Your Daughter to Work Day. They're playing basketball and soccer now, not just Barbie. I think that if women begin to play smarter, they'll understand more what they want out of the workplace, so it'll make their lives more satisfying.
