Super energised after ace @AdasList morning talk with @annfriedman. She’s one of those rare people who is just as cool in person as online.- And last but not least, some links from Ann that she referred to during her talk:
- Shine Theory: Why Powerful Women Make the Greatest FriendsKelly Rowland has done okay for herself since her days with Destiny’s Child. More than okay, really. She’s had a handful of solo hits, is embarking on a short tour this summer, and has just signed on to be a judge on The X Factor.
- Horizontal Loyalty | What is it? Thank Robert KrulwichHorizontal Loyalty is a concept taken from Robert Krulwich’s commencement speech to UC Berkeley Journalism School’s Class of 2011. It’s has been adopted by us.
- Why You Need A Sponsor – Not A Mentor – To Fast-Track Your CareerIf you thought finding and cultivating a mentor with clout would be your key to career success, you were dead wrong.Mentors may offer an open door and helpful guidance, but little more.
