Wish Me Luck: Tonight I am hosting a "focused discussion" (not to be confused with a focus group...these alumnae are far to elite for such rif raf) about the MIT Women's Leadership conference I am in charge of this spring. As my boss astutely warned "Kim, you know you have to do the rest of your job too...and can't just plan this women's event, right?" Eight high power (highly opinionated, and used to being listened to) alumnae are coming to my dinner and meeting, hosted at a hotel. I feel well prepared, and hope that I will be met with supportive women, who offer constructive criticism, lots of good ideas, and offers of their personal contacts etc. We'll see.... Also, my boss and my boss's boss will be there.....Talk slowly, listen carefully, don't be defensive, its gunna be great. p.s. Good luck to Prof. Em, who is teaching her first class at Tuft's X College tonight. Lady power!
