I write about extraordinary women, entrepreneurs and leaders. As a writer, editor and project manager, I’ve always been interested in learning how people get from here (a place that can be, let’s face it, just so-so) to there (the corner office…the presidential office…the country that miraculously fixed its most daunting problems). This blog celebrates those stories. My background includes more than 10 years in magazines, for titles including Glamour, InStyle and, more recently, Forbes. The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
