Success is not measured by how many hours you put in or how many projects went in under your watch. It is measured by the legacy you leave which has rippled outward and the value you provided along the way through both your influence, relationships and achievements.
Aim high. Build communities. Expect participation.

Simple language = Clear thoughts
Stories do not always need long introductions.
Ideas do not always require adverbs and adjectives to get buy-in.
Longer explanations should come after the listener has requested more detail.
While studies show that listening skills are some of the most valued in business, many do not make it easy on the listener.
Can you state your main message - the one thing your audience must know - in one sentence?
It takes practice.
It is similar to the thesis statement we hated writing in grade 10 English class.
It is the sizzle - the heart - of capturing attention in a business world.
Say your idea/message simply to show your thinking as crisp and precise.

Advantages of older women
Older women might
- Laugh and sometimes pee a little at the same time (go ahead, guys, try it...)
- Look down at their less than perfect tummies and think "a baby came out of there" or "that was a meal worth having"
- Get a tattoo and have no one ask how it will look when they're wrinkled
- Forgo "period" undies and wear pretty ones every day
- Wear cool vintage by shopping in the back of their own closets
- Have a long loud belly laugh without embarrassment
- Wear blue-hair and make it really blue... or turquoise... or even purple
- Act "immaturely" and have it called "being young at heart"
- Have nothing to prove while maintaining a drive to learn
- Mentor and be mentored with little ego and lots of insight
- Understand that work/life balance is simply prioritizing & choices
- Believe that being grown up does not mean being static or finished
- Allow themselves to choose based on interests & passions vs. peer pressure or manager preference
