lynda - “Why I Love Marissa Mayer’s Profile in Vogue” by Ali Brown

Just finished reading VOGUE’s profile on Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer. I think her saying “yes” to a glamorous photo shoot was *awesome*. The poor woman, who has just been WHO she is to get where she is, is being lambasted from every angle simply because she’s female. If she was a guy, no one would give a hoot about half of this stuff she’s being picked apart on… her maternity leave, her new company policies, and more. MOST important, her progress at Yahoo — turning around a company most were writing off last year — has been significant. THAT is what she was hired for.


People seem to think when a woman DOES achieve, she owes it to every woman in America to be their perfect role model. And of course since all women have a different opinion on what that should be, she can’t “win” at that. But she’s smart — she’s just doing her thing and turning around a company (and wearing some killer clothes doing it :)). This article really portrays that. Can we all take a breath and just let women at the top be who they are? It’s a great article, and you should definitely read it here.

If you have trust issues especially, that would hurt and sting even more. So first something about trust and then something about men. Trust: When we trust, it’s not that we trust someone to be perfect. That sets us up for failure because no one is perfect and you can’t control anybody. That is insanity if we try to control another and put all of our power – making sure they be a certain way to so that we are safe. Instead, find that safety and trust inside you. That safety being that capacity to discern and know that come what may, you’ve got your own back – you can take care of yourself. It takes a lot of pressure off of other...
