Are you a yes (wo)man?

Really thought-provoking article here about career-driven women who say yes on the job all the time.

The price of saying "no" at work

Although my generation (Generation Y) is known for saying "no" in favor of work/life balance, I still know plenty of women (and myself included at times) who say "yes" even if it means missing other once-in-a-lifetime moments outside of the cubical walls.

Does anyone know a woman who has it both ways? A top position at a strong/thriving/competitive company and a fantastic family/husband/life? Michelle Obama maybe?

The question of sacrifice here is a crucial one.... and I'm still undecided.

Little confessions, potentially big impact.

The best ones hold your hand anyways...
