Public leadership today is complicated for the would-be woman leader. I share the lessons of success, as well as how to recover from failure, in workshops, media commentary and writing. Here are some of those lessons:
  • What to say when, to whom, and why.
  • How to organize others for your success.
  • How to persuade whom and, most important, when.
  • What political men really like to hear from political women.
  • Why any issue anyone cares about is your issue, too.
  • The things that successful leaders, male or female, don’t dare say out loud, for fear of never getting elected or selected again.
  • How to be an insider and maintain an outsider’s approach to winning.
  • How to remain ever hopeful, even in the face of the fact that there are no permanent allies, only permanent interests.
