Hear me out: I'm never doing a #GenderRevealParty but I'm thinking of a #BookRevealParty when this book finally launches. Instead of gifts you bring a book and I sign it. If you hate parties I send you a signed book plate to stick in your copy. If you're into it spread the word!

The Legislature is back after a long summer of this government wasting time with scandal after scandal and the resignation of 3 ministers in just 3 weeks.
Ontarians deserve better. You deserve a government you can trust to solve the very real challenges you're facing.

Why do good negotiators NEVER say the words “I think?”

At the beach in Greece during 44°C heatwave. The breeze feels like when you first turn on your car AC and it just blows hot air in your face. I'm grateful to be here and be able to jump in the water. I don't know how people work and function in these Temps.
At the Orlando Airport today and filled my water bottle at the water station... Looked under the hood at the tap to see how (un)clean it was and threw up in my mouth a little. How sick can you get from a moldy tap? How do you decide between environmentally friendly or sanitary?

Over 8 yrs ago someone singlehandedly pulled me out of poverty. Knew him because I trained with his wife who is a professional athlete. He was leading a group at Citi and I desperately wanted to be an analyst. Didnt have the resume for a fancy banking job but grew up in public housing and the job was to help finance affordable housing projects. He called me and said “I will not get this job for you. However I will refer you and teach you whatever I can”.
I got the job. It moved me out to SF which completely changed the trajectory of my life. One year in I received my first big analyst bonus. $20,000. I couldnt believe it. I felt ashamed. That was so much money. I messaged him and asked if they would take it back. This was his response. I read this often.

For those generous folks who find themselves overworked...
Managers take unfair advantage of employees with reputations for generosity, exploiting them in ways that hamper long-term organizational success.
But asking managers about the ethics of exploitation eliminates their tendency to target generous employees. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
This moment came after my worst 2 minutes on stage ever. Right before this person's Instagram post I had the worst 2 minutes of my professional career. Two minutes that felt like they would never end.

When you're doing a job that requires some physicality it's important to stay on top of your health. Despite my best efforts, I've been dealing with some vocal strain (likely due to the apocalyptic smoke in the air).

We accept that money, power, and privilege (through legacy admissions, coaches, tutors and test prep) are acceptable forms of affirmative action, but not anything that could help people from disadvantaged groups.
When it comes to negotiating the 2 words women need to incorporate into their approach are "based on." It takes the ick out of bragging and makes it far more objective instead of an opinion. Put yourself on a well-deserved and demonstrable pedestal before…lnkd.in/gC53s8bG

Yes, and usually the "givers" are the women, who experience no reward when they give and backlash when they don't.
This is why I keep telling my American friends that Healthcare bills should be negotiated.
