Is It Time to Admit How Good You Are?
It's easy to see how others limit themselves. You know how good they are, but yet they don't ask for what they want or make a move. Sometimes their words frustrate you. • I'm ready for a new relationship, but maybe I'm just as well off on my own. • I want to play an important role at work, but if I mention it they'll probably laugh. • I long to own and run a business, but I can't afford the financial risk to my family. What's harder to realize is that we're one of them -- often holding ourselves back in the same way. In my last article I talked about a shift that can put this costly issue behind you. Whether you'r...

Embrace Your Inner Pitch: The Art of Self-Promotion
We’re all aware of the depressing disproportion of women at senior levels. McKinsey & Co. recently released "Women in the Workplace", a comprehensive study of the state of women in corporate America today. The study, which covers nearly 30,000 professionals from 118 companies, concluded that women make up about 45% of those entering the professional workforce. At the senior management level, that percentage drops to 37%, and at the C-suite level to 17%. In sales, at the top level – sales and marketing directors – the disparity between the sexes widens: 78% are male and 22% are female.
This suggests women face...

Study shows success of UCLA program’s method of training physician-scientists
It’s a long, hard road to get a medical degree. Longer still if you’re working toward a Ph.D. at the same time. But the end result — becoming a physician-scientist — can lead to an exciting career and an important contribution to medicine.
Most medical schools in the country train their physician-scientists jointly; they pursue their Ph.D. while attending medical school. For 23 years though, UCLA’s Specialty Training and Advanced Research (STAR) Program has taken a different approach. After completing their four years at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, students in the STAR Program then receive fundin...
