Take a Risk!

Take a Risk!

I was happy to see fellow women's advocate Elissa Sangster featured in the recent issue of Women for Hire magazine. As executive director of Forte Foundation, Elissa does important work encouraging women to pursue business careers and education. As part of the "20 over 30" section, she offers wisdom worth repeating, whether you're looking to pursue business or a new relationship.

Too many women, Elissa observes, "don't take a risk in their personal and professional lives. Women need to be more confident and push themselves to try something new and different. If you're not sure what to do, find someone who pushes and encourages you."
