What an awesome experience for you. Considering she's a writer, I totally get it, but Shonda seems so focused on language and the words we use. I think that's awesome and admirable.

Thank you for sharing your notes! " -If you meet someone and they tell you you are too much for them, they are right. Do not dim your light for someone else's convenience." was definitely my biggest take away from this post and right now I really needed to read that.

I think this one struck me most "If you were invited into the room, you belong at the table. Do not sit at the table and keep your mouth closed." My sister is graduating college in the spring and I am sending this post to her because I wish I'd read something like this BEFORE I started my career. I listen to a podcast and the host is a female who has been an executive at Nike, OWN, Fox television, and others. She said once that two pieces of advice she would give to women is first, not to begin speaking in a meeting with the words "I'm sorry, but..." or "Just a quick question..." Own what you are going to say and don't cheapen it before you even begin. Also, she said she spent decades sitting around conference tables. She noticed that when women have something to say, they typically whisper it to the person next to them. She said men never do that. They speak it out. I've always remembered those two things in every meeting I'm in. Now I have some new advice to remember too!Laura Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817637305623694718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-60189054357451505992017-10-11T11:11:55.082-04:002017-10-11T11:11:55.082-04:00Wow.

I would have basked in the presence, the calm, the steadfastness, the honor of Michelle Obama too. I miss her so much. And oh yeah, her hubbie too. :D If you enjoyed Brene Brown's speech than I do believe you'll enjoy her latest book because her topic is straight from it. And I agree the future is female and we are the ones who will right this ship.

Greed for power and money is fugly and deadly. Thanks to you girls and all of these awesome women. Amen on Michelle Obama being like our friend. Goddess speed. Such ugly treatment of her and she still goes high. Lights and angels and love to all everywhere for all that is good. It’s like DT and the gop have cursed our nation. The most bad stuff ever since he has reigned. Or the universe is rip-roaring angry. <br />Keepin’ The faith. Love. Your. Momma.
