@kathleensimmo: What advice do you have for other women in the industry? Learn to listen to AND THEN FOLLOW your gut. It is rarely wrong. Women’s intuition is real. I admit that in this business one of the most difficult things to do is say “No”. We are often scared that we won’t get another opportunity, or ruin our reputation, or be seen as demanding. But on reflection, there hasn’t been a time where I have said “No” and regretted it. There have, however, been PLENTY of times I have said “Yes” and regretted not following my initial instinct to say “No”.
