Key Takeaways:

“Put some mind games together and challenge myself to share valuable information not just to hear myself speak.” - Judy Hoberman

“What I always do is take copious notes. Wherever I go, whatever I'm doing, whoever I'm meeting, I always ask permission if I could take notes because sometimes people don't like you too. But when you're in a meeting, you know, have something to write with… It always works because you have something that- you're competing with yourself, basically.”  - Judy Hoberman

“Because a lot of times, we don't feel that we know enough, or that we're going to say something that maybe we just can't back up the information, or maybe someone's going to challenge us, or we just are not comfortable.”  - Judy Hoberman
