Acknowledging International Women’s Day, we ponder what it takes to succeed. Presidents of international organizations and major universities, Leaders of Labor Unions, and CEOs of major corporations are ever more frequently being headed by women, who have demonstrated innate qualities of womanhood.
To compete requires intestinal fortitude, self-confidence, courage to take risks, and resilience to rebound from failed attempts. All contribute to success. Ancient Chinese wisdom says out of failure comes opportunity.
Success requires willingness to start over, to develop new strategies, and project a more positive effect. Cherishing your self-worth, emphasizing determination and strength can turn a crisis into success. Change your attitude, change your fortune. And remember it doesn’t hurt to dress for success. Whether you are a recent graduate or one transitioning careers, or re-entering the workforce, your new mantra is: I CAN, I WILL, I MUST!
