Teaching Leadership To Girls...Rachel Simmons


"You don't learn how to say 'hey, I have a problem,' but you also don't learn how to hear it. There's a total breakdown of how females talk to one another. It's very disconcerting for leadership because it means you don't talk to each other; you talk about each other."  

--Rachel Simmons, Author, 
Educator and Coach
