Excel And You Will Get A Mentor.

Real Change Will Come When Powerful Women Are Less Of An Exception. It Is Easy To Dislike Senior Women Because There Are So Few.

When People Are Really Suffering, And We Know They're Suffering, That Question Can Be A Very Difficult One. Inadvertently, I Think Without Anyone Meaning It, It Communicates A Lack Of Empathy.

I Realized That Searching For A Mentor Has Become The Professional Equivalent Of Waiting For Prince Charming. We All Grew Up On The Fairy Tale "seeping Beauty," Which Instructs Young Women That If They Just Wait For Their Prince To Arrive, They Will Be Kissed And Whisked Away On A White Horse To Live Happily Ever After. Now Young Women Are Told That If They Can Just Find The Right Mentor, They Will Be Pushed Up The Ladder And Whisked Away To The Corner Office To Live Happily Ever After. Once Again, We Are Teaching Women To Be Too Dependent On Others.

When Looking For A Life Partner, My Advice To Women Is Date All Of Them: The Bad Boys, The Cool Boys, The Commitment-phobic Boys, The Crazy Boys. But Do Not Marry Them. The Things That Make The Bad Boys Sexy Do Not Make Them Good Husbands. When It Comes Time To Settle Down, Find Someone Who Wants An Equal Partner. Someone Who Thinks Women Should Be Smart, Opinionated And Ambitious. Someone Who Values Fairness And Expects Or, Even Better, Wants To Do His Share In The Home. These Men Exist And, Trust Me, Over Time, Nothing Is Sexier.

When I Went To College, As Much As My Parents Emphasized Academic Achievement, They Emphasized Marriage Even More. They Told Me That The Most Eligible Women Marry Young To Get A 'good Man' Before They Are All Taken.
