Sallie: Thank you Leisa.

Leisa: You’ve achieved significant success; imagine we have a young professional sitting with us today, what advice would you give her to achieve the same success you’ve achieved?

Sallie: Well the first thing you have to have is passion for what you’re doing because it’s hard work. So if you want to achieve a goal, get there with some passion and really think about what it is you’re doing. But the one thing, no matter what industry you go into, no matter what career you want to pursue, you need to learn how to write. It’s the one thing that has carried me through from any and all levels in my profession and seen my through to this stage of life.

Leisa: Interesting, you’ve written a lot of proposals, is that where you mean being able to write proposals or thank you notes or just absolutely anything?

Sallie: All of the above. If you can learn how to communicate through the written word your better off than the next guy.

Leisa: So I heard you say be passionate, have a goal and write well.

Sallie: Absolutely.

Leisa: There you have it, thank you very much.
