Built step-by-step on patience and the belief that attitudes could change, but that substantial change requires time.
Her incredible story and the monumental gains she has made have captivated not only women everywhere, but Hollywood as well, with her life currently being played out on the big screen to rave reviews.
‘On The Basis Of Sex’ brings the story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the big screen.
#LessonsFromRBG
It’s not every 85-year old who has their own hashtag, but #LessonsFromRBG are providing inspiration for strength and change. On the heels of Ginsburg’s receiving The Friendly Medal for contributions to the law, Michele Weldon of Take the Lead put together a list of 10 leadership lessons from the RGB story. From creating your own options to gratitude to understanding your power, Ginsburg’s life provides a real roadmap for effecting change while staying true to yourself. Her systematic approach to blazing new trails and challenging the status quo while maintaining a strong, supportive personal life is the epitome of bold, brave and determined — #STOUT.
