Success
Women have a lot of strengths but in some contexts the way they’ve learned to behave does them no favours. Learning how to dress for success is just the start, what we need to focus on is the language of success. This means knowing what to do or say, what to avoid and when to push ourselves out of our comfort zone.

I suspect they would be more enduring; the one’s who do well but not at a great cost to themselves. And I can almost guarantee your name wouldn’t be on the list.
