Lessons from Defence Force's Most Senior Woman

At the ACT’s Women in Information and Communication breakfast this morning a packed room listened to ‘lessons I have learned so far’ from Air Vice Marshall Margaret Staib.

Her advice to women:

1. When the answer is no, ask again – but ask a person one level higher.
2. Bureaucracy: requires a tolerance for stupidity and sometimes a bulldozer.
3. Patience is a virtue, but the persistence to continue until you succeed is a blessing.
4. When you can’t beat them, join them. Then beat them.
