What are the keys to success for
women in the workplace? Be honest with
yourself about your goals, professional and
personal. Understand they will change over
time; however, do not stay in a job that does
not move you toward both goals.
What is the biggest obstacle you had to
overcome? A joint venture with a Japanese
company had me struggling with language
and cultural barriers. Self-confidence in my
technical abilities and strong communication
skills helped establish my credibility, which
was key to overcoming these obstacles.
Who inspires you? People passionate
about their work inspire me. From high-tech
entrepreneurs to my museum colleagues,
they are all passionate about their work and
their mission. This inspires me to do my best.
