A Seat at the Table

If you don't have a seat at the table.....just make your own table.

This chapter is about gaining your seat EARLIER instead of later. Lynn demonstrates some great examples as to why as a woman you can't wait till you're in a more senior role to FIGHT for your seat. Begin your fight on day one. She uses analogies that we as people can understand across the board, my favorite analogy is the "adult table". As kids, we sat at the small kids table, ate after the adults, and held a kid-like conversation....but once you graduated to the adult table, you know you got everything FIRST. Have the same feeling of wanting to progress in your career as you did when it was time to go to the adult's table.
