The Inner Resume...Rachel Simmons

The "inner resume" are the skills to know exactly what you think and feel. And the skills to express those with conviction. They are the skills to assert a minority opinion. To say, "I disagree even if the rest of you agree." These are the skills to face challenge with grace. To raise your hand in class and not know the right answer.
