Women who rise understand, unequivocally, the value they bring to their respective organizations — and they’re eager
to let you know about it.
Insight #3
A common characteristic amongst the highest achieving women is their relentless, insatiable sense of curiosity; they never stop
asking questions that challenge ‘what is.’
Insight #4
“Part of being politically savvy is saying ‘What is it that I’m trying to do?’ And,
when I approach someone whose help or involvement I need, I ask myself how can I help them reach their goals?”
- Betsy Myers on gaining political savvy
Insight #5
You learn the rules of the game by making it your highest intention to
observe what’s happening, where power sits, and what behaviors are being rewarded.
Insight #6
Your mentor will give you advice; your sponsor will give you advice + work with you to bring it to life. Manage both relationships strategically.
Insight #7
“Power” is the ability to get things done, and women who have it master the art of
influence and never, ever play small.
Insight #8
The woman who convinces others of her worth has already convinced herself of the value she brings to her company,
and to the world at large.
Insight #9
Your network = your net worth.
Insight #10

not that our aim is too high, and we miss it, but that our aim is too low and we achieve it.”
