Often we women are risk averse. I needed the push. Now, more than ever, young women need more seasoned women to provide that encouragement, to take a risk, to go for it. Once a glass ceiling is broken, it stays broken.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I believe women still face a glass ceiling that must be shattered.
The message I like to convey to women and girls across the globe is that there is no glass ceiling.
Most women have learned a great deal about how to set goals for our First Adulthood and how to roll with the punches when we hit a rough passage. But we're less prepared for our Second Adulthood as we approach life after retirement, where there are no fixed entrances or exits, and lots of sand into which it is easy to bury our heads.
We've heard a lot in recent polemic about how to win the fight for the corner office. But pushing up against a glass ceiling is practically a luxury when you consider the millions of women who can feel the floor dropping beneath their feet.
There are so few women in general who aren't completely threatened and confused by other women's success. It's very disappointing.
Women may not have it easy, but we are given a fairer chance to reach for the top.
I think women are used to stepping up and getting the job done when you need to.
Women need opportunity and encouragement. If a girl can climb mountains, she can do anything positive within her field of work.
I certainly came up in an era where women were really making strides and making a point to beat down doors and find their place and crash through the glass ceiling.
The best advice I can give women at all levels is increase training. There are still areas where we have to break through that glass ceiling.
