I continously listened two episodes, for the first time in my podcast history
Love this podcast, especially the last episode with Joan Dempsey. Wish I’d had this insight back in the 90’s when I was a young graduate. Time well invested.
What’s better than hearing stories and advice from incredibly strong and bright women?! So well done- can’t stop listening.
Maria tells an important story for our time (and anytime) about service, motivation, understanding and healing. Especially now, her words about listening and hearing are critical. Her story puts context to the workforce changes of the last 20 years and the pivotal importance of compassion and understanding in every moment.
I had the pleasure of working with Mary at SOUTHCOM, DIA and USDI. She was a wonderful mentor to several women who were swimming in the testosterone waters of a COCOM...We were all sad to see her leave. I’m grateful I know Mary as a distinguished member of the IC and as a friend!
