It’s that moment you feel deep in your soul that you can’t be successful in your job. If you can’t change how others see you, you can feel like you have no choice but to seek out a fresh start. When talented women get to this point, everyone loses if they leave.

As someone who has done hiring, let me say this: salary negotiation is expected. When it doesn’t happen, it genuinely feels a little weird. I, in this hypothetical scenario where I’m considering you for a job, want to know not only that you’re qualified, but also that you know your value and expect your employer to as well. I want confidence as much as competence, because it's a good indicator of your personal integrity.
I’m a woman entrepreneur and co-founder of a multi-million dollar start-up that first began as a side hobby in my living room. I’m also a mother of three, including two young girls. Professionally and personally, I’m always thinking about empowering and uplifting girls and women – whether it be my kids, my employees, my customers, my friends or my society. With that in mind, I’d like to share a few tips for my fellow entrepreneurs, business leaders and moms out there. Together, we can do more to raise girls up to meet their true potential, and possibly generate more female entrepreneurship in the process.
There has never been a more important time to think about deliberately managing your career, changing roles, changing companies, or changing industries. My philosophy has always been to make bold moves when change is happening all around me.

Adjusting to a Driver's Seat Mentality Made a Major Difference in My Career.Independence is one of the building blocks to a strong foundation for success. I take pride in my independence, but I have also recently drawn a direct correlation between my strong sense of independence with my intense need to control many, if not all, situations...
We're living through an unprecedented time. It's scary, but I've been here. I started my career working for design firms in 1993, then added a side venture in the mid-90s, a custom kid's bed linen business that I ran for 10 years. In the late 90s, I added a second moonlighting layer (because who needs a social life in their 20s): smaller, then bigger interior design projects in whatever waking hours I had. In 2004, I got an opportunity from one of those side clients to launch my own interior design firm. It took a nagging gut instinct to make the leap, but I'm grateful that I said yes.
Women have been marginalized throughout the years in many aspects, especially when it comes to job opportunities. Some people think that females are not built for work because they lack the physical and mental strength. They fail to see that women have made history and shared in the success of many countries, so how are they still seen as unequal?
For twelve years, Evy Poumpouras put her life on the line almost every single day. But she never let fear run the show. As a Special Agent for the United States Secret Service and a part of the Presidential Protective Division for President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, Poumpouras had plenty to be scared of, but when she talks about her experience, one thing is clear: she is always in control, even in her confidence that you can't plan for everything.
