By Alexia Vernon | February 20th, 2013

“Ambition gap, schmambition gap, ” begins Emily Bennington in her new, must-read book, Who Says It’s a Man’s World. “Women aren’t 16 percent of board directors and corporate officers because the other 84 percent don’t want the job.

Why Owning Your Accomplishments Might Be Sabotaging Your Success

By Alexia Vernon | August 15th, 2012
