I'm a big fan of Tara Mohr. In fact, you'll find her sage wisdom in more than one discussion post in the Women in STEM group. If you're seeking actionable ways to move the career needle, add her blog and her book, Playing Big, to your reading list. In the interim, here's an awesome list of 10 strategies to get you started on your journey to professional greatness. Here's one I love.

(Well, actually, they will, but paradoxically, only after you’ve started boldly and consistently stepping into leadership, sharing your voice, and doing things that scare the hell out of you.
What point resonates with you? Which strategy will you implement in 2018? Share your thoughts with the group by replying to this discussion below.
