my mother was right – because you will encounter difficult times in your life, requiring tough decisions and tough time-sensitive responses.

my first taste of adversity came in 1969, when i helped to integrate a private school in my home city of atlanta. i was a handful of…i was one of a handful of african-american students – student of color #8 – who passed the entrance exam and was admitted to attend. now while passing the exam was the technical requirement for admission and acceptance, it was not the path to acceptance from my peers. in fact, from 7th grade to 12th grade, i endured being called the n-word at least once a day.

it was tough to get through a single day, let alone come back and repeat the entire process all over again. i can recall that i told my mother i didnsquo;t want to go to school there anymore; the challenges were just too much. and she would repeat the washing machine adage to me more times than i can count.

i wish i could do that now. and i took it with my roommate, carrie, who was then a brilliant literary student — and went on to be a brilliant literary scholar — and my brother — smart guy, but a water-polo-playing pre-med, who was a sophomore.the three of us take this class together. and then carrie reads all the books in the original greek and latin, goes to all the lectures. i read all the books in english and go to most of the lectures. my brother is kind of busy. he reads one book of 12 and goes to a couple of lectures, marches himself up to our rooma couple days before the exam to get himself tutored. the three of us go to the exam together, and we sit down. and we sit there for three hours — and our little blue notebooks — yes, i'm that old. we walk out, we look at each other, and we say, "how did you do?" and carrie says, "boy, i feel like i didn't really draw out the main point on the hegelian dialectic." and i say, "god, i really wish i had really connected john locke's theory of property with the philosophers that follow." and my brother says, "i got the top grade in the class."

why does this matter? boy, it matters a lot. because no one gets to the corner office by sitting on the side, not at the table, and no one gets the promotion if they don't think they deserve their success, or they don't even understand their own success.i wish the answer were easy. i wish i could go tell all the young women i work for, these fabulous women,"believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. own your own success." i wish i could tell that to my daughter. but it's not that simple. because what the data shows, above all else, is one thing, which is that success and likeability are positively correlated for men and negatively correlated for women. and everyone's nodding, because we all know this to be true.there's a really good study that shows this really well. there's a famous harvard business school studyon a woman named heidi roizen. and she's an operator in a company in silicon valley, and she uses her contacts to become a very successful venture capitalist.

we also have another problem, which is that women face harder choices between professional success and personal fulfillment. a recent study in the u.s. showed that, of married senior managers, two-thirds of the married men had children and only one-third of the married women had children. a couple of years ago, i was in new york, and i was pitching a deal, and i was in one of those fancy new york private equity offices you can picture. and i'm in the meeting — it's about a three-hour meeting — and two hours in, there needs to be that bio break, and everyone stands up, and the partner running the meeting starts looking really embarrassed. and i realized he doesn't know where the women's room is in his office. so i start looking around for moving boxes, figuring they just moved in, but i don't see any. and so i said, "did you just move into this office?" and he said, "no, we've been here about a year." and i said, "are you telling me that i am the only woman to have pitched a deal in this office in a year?" and he looked at me, and he said, "yeah. or maybe you're the only one who had to go to the bathroom."so the question is, how are we going to fix this? how do we change these numbers at the top? how do we make this different?

第5篇

i can't even notice that the men's hands are still raised, and the women's hands are still raised, how good are we as managers of our companies and our organizations at seeing that the men are reaching for opportunitiesmore than women?" we've got to get women to sit at the table.message number two: make your partner a real partner. i've become convinced that we've made more progress in the workforce than we have in the home. the data shows this very clearly. if a woman and a man work full-time and have a child, the woman does twice the amount of housework the man does, and the woman does three times the amount of childcare the man does. so she's got three jobs or two jobs, and he's got one. who do you think drops out when someone needs to be home more? the causes of this are really complicated, and i don't have time to go into them. and i don't think sunday football-watching and general laziness is the cause.

第6篇

i said, "you're thinking about this just way too early." but the point is that what happens once you start kind of quietly leaning back? everyone who's been through this — and i'm here to tell you, once you have a child at home, your job better be really good to go back, because it's hard to leave that kid at home. your job needs to be challenging. it needs to be rewarding. you need to feel like you're making a difference. and if two years ago you didn't take a promotion and some guy next to you did, if three years ago you stopped looking for new opportunities,you're going to be bored because you should have kept your foot on the gas pedal. don't leave before you leave. stay in. keep your foot on the gas pedal, until the very day you need to leave to take a break for a child — and then make your decisions. don't make decisions too far in advance, particularly ones you're not even conscious you're making.

toastmaster of the day, fellow toastmasters, awonderful afternoon to all of you. my name is jeff. today i want to share withyou part of my life experiences and i hope some of you will find it useful.

march 15, 20xx, xiamen, china. my phone rang the moment when i stepped into themain entrance of our condominium. it was my 68-year-old mum. she said, your dad and i are now at the boarding gate, but we couldnsquo;t find your dadsquo;s bag, which contains his ic and a few thousand dollars. just 35 minutes back, i saw my dadand mum off at the airport. they were about to board a domestic flight topudong where they would join my sister to fly to toronto and stay there for another one year. a couple of days before that, i purposely went back to xiamen, my hometown to see my parents off. i asked my parents to board the airplane first and i would make a second trip to airport and fetch my dadsquo;s bag home. we were so fortunate that my mum kept the passports of both in her handbag.i quickly called the airport and got to the team in charge of security check.they found the bag and verified my identity.

they know each other more in the biblical sense as well. message number three: don't leave before you leave. i think there's a really deep irony to the fact that actions women are taking — and i see this all the time — with the objective of staying in the workforceactually lead to their eventually leaving. here's what happens: we're all busy. everyone's busy. a woman's busy. and she starts thinking about having a child, and from the moment she starts thinking about having a child, she starts thinking about making room for that child. "how am i going to fit this into everything else i'm doing?" and literally from that moment, she doesn't raise her hand anymore, she doesn't look for a promotion, she doesn't take on the new project, she doesn't say, "me. i want to do that." she starts leaning back.
