I have always believed that women perceive things that are not said, a change in breathing.
Minimal tension in the shoulders, a look that lasts half a second longer than necessary.
Tonight I confirmed it.
The annual Women in Business forum is full. The warm lights soften the living room, but the energy is intense. Women who build, who negotiate, who lead. Clever conversations floating between glasses of champagne.
I feel comfortable here, not because I need to prove something.
But because I've worked to be here, I'm talking to a group about leadership in data teams when I feel it.
I don't see it first, I feel it. That slight sensation on your skin, like when someone is staring at you.
I look up and find her. Vanessa.
She holds a glass of champagne with impeccable elegance.
