Yesterday my company hosted our annual Women at the Top® Panel Program. Normally I’m the moderator but this year to switch things up a bit, and to provide me with some relief while dealing with a sick family member who later passed away, founding member, Cindy Haas took the helm and moderated our panel program.

In talking with those who listened in on the call, they told me they walked away with some great information, as our moderator guided the panelists (including me!) through some great questions.

Here are some of the nuggets of wisdom shared by our panelists on the call: 

“Control what you can and don’t let the things you can’t control eat you up.”
– Laura Helumueller, Senior Vice President & Market Manager, Bremer Bank

“Do good work and people will see that so when you do take risks, you’ll have a foundation to work from.”
– Sona Mehring, Founder & CEO, CaringBridge

“Don’t be afraid to take risks.”
– Regina Barr, Founder & CEO, Red Ladder and Founder, Women at the Top® Network

I always appreciate hearing from other women what the keys to their success are. Maybe because I’ve come to learn that, despite what we may think, we don’t have to walk the road to success alone. We can learn and be inspired by the experiences – good, bad or otherwise – of other women who have walked a similar path.

These women graciously shared their revelations on how you can raise your profile, achieve career success and gain access to the executive suite. In today's fast-paced work environment we can all use a little wisdom now and then.  

In the spirit of learning from each other, what advice do you have for other women who are aspiring to play at the top of their game? Share your comments here.
