I have no doubt I was offered the position, in part, because of my involvement in ELAM. I also have no doubt that I accepted the position, in large part, because of my experience and training through ELAM. I greatly appreciate the learning opportunities you afforded me, and I am actively using them in my position."

AWIS Washington Wire, March 2013:

This e-newsletter from the Association for Women in Science cited several worthwhile articles:

The Key to Success

Ever wonder what successful people do each day, and how they became a success in the first place? Based on an online survey of thousands of individuals, the Harvard Business Review now reports on the most impactful strategies and characteristics of successful people. Top strategies include being persistent, monitoring your progress, being focused, having willpower, and being a realistic optimist.

Eight Leadership Lessons

Here are eight leadership lessons from some of the most successful and powerful women. It is not enough to just be skilled and put in long hours; you must also have a desire to do something big and stay determined, even in the face of obstacles. Other key leadership traits include taking calculated risks, delegating at home and at work, and hiring people who are passionate and smarter than you are.

10 Career and Life Areas to Focus on This Year

On the heels of Facebook COO, Sheryl Sandberg's new book about work-family balance, Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead, Richard Branson, the founder and Chair of the Virgin Group offers his own perspective on creating balance. He suggests that workplace offer flexible, family-friendly schedules, that women receive equal pay and opportunities to lead, and that leaders have a responsibility to speak up for their employees and avoid the "old-school" mentality.

 

The Glass Hammer Newsletter, March 21, 2013:

Queen Bee or Mother Hen: The Contradictory Images of Professional Women

No doubt you've heard this sentiment or read a similar headline a number of times during your career. I certainly have and I only started my career two and a half years ago. Young female colleagues and friends talk about avoiding female managers because of concerns around lack of support, hidden agendas, and jealousy. The question here is should they genuinely be concerned? Do senior female figures in organisations really exhibit non supportive behaviour to other women (the Queen Bee Phenomenon), or do they go out of their way to mentor more junior women (Mother Hen behaviour)?

 

The Glass Hammer Newsletter, March 28, 2013:

"What's She Doing Here?" How to Deal with the Legitimacy Double Bind

As women advance through their careers, they often face challenges to their legitimacy, or the notion that they didn't really earn their position. Apparently, some people are incapable of fathoming a world where a woman is competent and capable of earning a job by way of her qualifications. They would rather attribute her success to a quota, or to mere optics, or to one of the other methods women are presumed to employ to make their ways to the top. It's not fair, and it's an issue that doesn't seem to be going away, either.

HBR Blog Network, April 8, 2013:

It's Not Women Who Should Lean In; It's Men Who Should Step Back

"Men should read Lean In - so said friend and fellow HBR writer Nilofer Merchant. Three compelling reasons later, I had myself a copy of the book. While it might have been written as a treatise of what women could be doing to more of to gain more leadership positions in our organizations, and how we would all benefit from that happening, there was something else that stood out for me: it read as a pretty comprehensive list of things that the men have been doing wrong...."

Givers vs. Takers: The Surprising Truth about Who Gets Ahead
