I love hearing about what other women are saying about ourselves

"Success in my job means maintaining such a high level of commitment that it’s easy to let it consume me. After hours, on the weekend, and on vacation, if I’m not careful. I don’t get to enjoy my success, and I want to. The 100 Secrets of High-Performing Women reminds me of what I want to remember – the good feelings that come from enjoying a job well done, the encouragement to keep stretching for the next big thing. I love hearing about what other women are saying about ourselves and remembering that we’re in this together."

Jennifer Nixon
President and CEO
