Business Journal's 100 Women of Influence

YES WE CAN !!! 

I was fortunate enough to have been invited to last evening's "100 Most Influential Women in Silicon Valley" event at the Fairmont Hotel.  Hosted each year by the San Jose Business Journal, it celebrates our fabulous women leaders, and gives each an opportunity to pass on 10 words of wisdom to the attendees.  That's 1000 words of wisdom in one night - what a treasure trove !!  And that doesn't even count the uber-networking going on.

I saw many women that I know...including Dolores Carr, Santa Clara County D.A., Connie Martinez of 1stAct Silicon Valley, Kristy Rogers of eWomen's Network, Brenna Bolger of PRx, Mahnaz Khazen of Coldwell Banker Commercial Bay, Therese Coutermarsh from FireEye, and my fabulous inviter, honoree Donna Michaels of the Loughlin Michaels Group.

Best quote of the night:  "Don't learn to sew or type...it will hold you back!"
