An homage to the men who support their ambitious women

October 20, 2009

When I was in my twenties I dated  – and almost married – a man who was super supportive of my career. Right up until 5:00 p.m. And then he wanted me to be home and have dinner on the table. We met right out of college in training to be financial consultants with a [...]

The pink elephant in the room

I love love love this one which was delivered earlier this week: Everyone gets paid on commission The Washington Post recently laid off a columnist because his blog posts didn’t get enough web traffic.
