You
know it's time to take a
risk in your career when the
days seem long, mundane
or uninteresting. "

across employee resource groups

internally and externally. This year
she helped spearhead Paramount's
Impact Series, which debuted in
Australia with a panel discussion on
female representation and leadership
in the industry moderated by
Shelley Zalis, CEO of The Female
Quotient.
One woman I really
admired was Tina Turner. At
44 she became the oldest
female solo artist to top the Billboard
Hot 100, with her first number one
song, proving to women everywhere
that it's never too late to achieve your
goals. "

Adaptive Spirit, aka SkiTam,
is a must-attend for me. It's
a premier networking and
educational event that has been
supporting the U.S. Paralympics Ski
and Snowboard Team since 1996. I
may be biased since I am on the
board, but this is one event I try not
to miss. "

It is extraordinary how many
points of connection exist
between seeming strangers.
