Glamourous Women, Great Advice

Amy Pohler...still funny and giving great advice to girls as she received one of Glamour's 2009 Women of the Year awards!

Women continue to inspire & amaze people. We're not sure why...since women have always had the capacity to do amazing things. Apparently people are just paying closer attention now!

Glamour Magazine honored a bevy of talented and brave women at their 2009 Women of the Year gala earlier this week. Honorees included Maya Angelou, Stella McCartney, Amy Pohler, and Google genius Marissa Mayer among others.

As one of the recipients, Amy Pohler's acceptance speech included my favorite piece of advice from the evening:

"Girls, if boys say something that isn't funny...you don't have to laugh!"

Ah, the honesty to only laugh when a joke is funny...seems so small but really says a lot about knowing yourself. And what makes you laugh!

So girls, laugh all you want if his jokes are funny. But if the jokes aren't funny and you keep laughing...you're dooming yourself to an lifetime of those same unfunny jokes. And life is just TOO short for bad jokes!

Womenomics--A Good Read To Help You Toward The Life You Want!

Claire Shipman & Katty Kay--Authors of the book Womenomics.

One of my favorite books out there right now is "Womenomics." It's a great look at women in the workforce today and how they can tackle the things standing between them and the lives they really want. From when to give strategic yeses & nos to how to create your own definition of success...this is a great read for women of all ages & life paths!
