Points to note:
I just loved some of the points she makes like
1. the innumerable problems to solve,
2. endless possibilities to get a solution and innovate
3. being an expert in one's field and getting excited to work on it
4. family/work balance and
5. finally, the important thing is CONFIDENCE. I am amazed when she tells it is still one of her challenge even now. I cannot help but quote her very own words - very inspiring!!!
"""
My greatest challenge has always been confidence, and it’s an ongoing struggle. I have to work at trusting my own competence (rather than assuming that if someone disagrees with me, they’re probably right). I have to pump myself up in preparation for presentations or controversial discussions.
"""
Something for all the career woman to keep in mind and work towards.
