1. BROUGHT TO YOU BY
THE
GREATEST
CAREER
LESSONS

2. “You must give respect
to earn respect.”
MARY K STELL, Registrar

3. “Do what you say you are going to do. Your
word is your integrity.”
SUSAN QUASH-MAH, Ph.D., Consultant

4. “Trust your gut. If something is not working the
way you want it to, it is probably because you
should not be continuing down that path.”
MARY BALISTRERI, Leadership Coach

5. “Keep your people informed. This works for subordinates
and bosses––make sure they know what is going on.”
REBECCA BLUNDEN, Attorney

6. “When you're stuck, there is
usually some anchor holding you
back. We trick ourselves into
thinking certain people/items/
practices add value, but they
actually hinder us. Identify what is
giving you a false sense of security
in your life and then let it go.”
BRANDY N. LYON,
Project Management Consultant

7. “If there's something I can't do, it's not because I
can’t. It is because I haven’t exercised that muscle.”
LILLIAN CHUNG, Director of Design

8. “Know how and when to delegate.”
AILEEN WALDEN, Executive Director, Nonprofit Consultant

9. “Success should not be measured by the end result but by
the obstacles one has overcome in the journey.”
SUSAN CASEY, Senior Analyst

10. “When you have the power to exercise authority over
someone and choose not to do it, it is a much greater
exercise of authority than actually doing it.”
KIM IGLEHEART, Legal Assistant

11. “You can be a serious businesswoman for most of the time, but
sometimes we all need to have a little fun. So get in on your
company's fantasy football league, attend the after-hours events
and get involved!”
HANNAH BURNWORTH, Marketing Specialist
