Linda will share her journey from childhood in a modest house of a working-class family to one of the senior-most women at an S&P 500 firm in a male-dominated industry. She will share vivid memories (sometimes funny) and lessons learned along the way, in an effort to inspire women on their own path to success.
- If you set your mind on your goal, it doesn’t matter where you start
- Women are great!
- Dive in, make mistakes, ask the “stupid” questions
- When your bosses discuss who is their hardest working employee, make sure it’s you
- Don’t complain, offer solutions
- If it doesn’t kill you, it will make you stronger
- Find somebody to love
- If you love what you do, you will excel
- It’s not about women vs. men
