Yesterday I wrote about facing a career crossroads. This morning I've been doing some online reading and was struck by a few articles in the news that tie back to this topic in ways both large and small. I list them here with the nuggets gleaned from them.

1. Making Partner, Sponsorship & Gender Bias: having a strong sponsor is key if you want to move beyond gender bias, and be mindful of the "frames" from which you are viewed.
2. Carol Bartz Exclusive: Yahoo F - - ed Me Over: did you just cringe at the title? In the words of Carol Frohlinger, co-author of Nice Girls Just Don't Get It, "quit being a nice girl." Sometimes you need to just say it how it is. 
3. When You Hit a Wall, Move Around It: the title says it all. Need I say more?
