I agree that Penelope really hits the nail on the head and seems to know where we're coming from, in addition to giving out sound advice on where to go from here. I also agree that balancing forwardness with respect is key. I think I tend to be one of those people that is more timid and less apt to feel entitled to recognition and reward, so it was great to hear Penelope's strong admonition that we should be confident in asking for what we deserve and not get bogged down by the old rules of how a career should play itself out.

I must admit I'm honored to be your workout partner :) Penelope's take on it seems to resonate w/ Gen Yers - belying her influence and understanding w/ this audience. I still feel that it is important to balance our forwardness with respect, but all the same to seize opportunities as they come. Great review Marie.
