In chapter 9, the concept I felt to be the most profound and relevant to my life is that advancing to leadership roles involves taking risks and taking oneself out of one’s comfort zone. I consider myself to be an introverted person, so naturally I like to stay in my comfort zone. This can be a major disadvantage because I won’t be challenged to move to the next level. However, this reading has made become aware of this obstacle, and as much as I don’t want to do anything uncomfortable, I am going to put myself into situations that will give me more experience and help me grow as an individual.
In the Afterword, I thought it was cool that in 1998 those apart of The White House Project predicted that 2008 would be the year that the United States would be accepting to a female president. In retrospect, 10 years isn’t a long time, but it must have seemed like it would take an eternity to get to where we are now in 2008. I think it’s great that there are so many organizations and programs that help women get into political leadership roles in poli. As Wilson mention, hopefully all 50 states will have these programs by or before her next book update.
