The Possibility Curve

Writing my book, IntelligentRisking for Women, has been an interesting journey. I have had the privilege of meeting tons of fabulous women and surprisingly enough men. As it turns out intelligent risk taking is not exclusive to women. Both men and women have the same basic challenges with taking risks. What is different between the two sexes is their approach and style. Men have the advantage of being much clearer about how they define success, while women tend to want to ‘do it all’. Men are helped out by their ego, while women tend to be held back by theirs. The key difference is that men have learned to set themselves up for success, while women have learned how to set themselves up to avoid failure. The key for a woman to succeed is to learn how to approach risk by setting themselves up to succeed. Barbara Stoker, speaker and author of IntelligentRisking for Women
