We recently held the second installment of panel discussion series, “Real Women Fostering Women’s Leadership,” titled “Leave the Apologies Behind.”  I was joined by Ellen East, Executive Vice President of Corporate Communications, Time Warner Cable; Erin Ganju, CEO and co-founder of Room to Read; and Lori Klein, Managing Partner, Director, Client Services, Cline Davis & Mann. We discussed a number of topics, from helping women be more persuasive and confident in their language and business, to providing tips on negotiation skills. Please enjoy the following video excerpts from our dialogue. (Please note that you can also view the link to the full hour-long session if you’d like.)
