Tonight, I learned how to graciously & EFFECTIVELY have conversations. @KamalaHarris

#WomenInMedicine take notes!

Interrupted while talking? "If you would please let me finish [what I am saying]"

Confusion during meeting? "I will repeat...this is a fact."

Disagree with what is being said? Always smile even when your disagree

Difficult conversation? "Let's talk about that"

Sorrow or hurt feelings? "I am sorry - that is awful"

Believe in your own power as a woman & leader

Have a chance to own your idea? "I am so glad you mentioned that - let's talk about it!"

Lead by example: "We must always fight for values we hold dear."

Someone #Mansplaining ? "I am the one here with the expertise to..."

Be proud. Be strong. BELIEVE!
