From this interview, you'll also discover that go-gettin' Minda is a keen, reflective observer of communication. She rolls into the interview with toolbox full of skills many times larger than her diminutive size.

Do not miss this interview if you've ever: Got your seat at the table, but wondered if you were really supposed to be there and felt like you didn't get the memo; experienced "woman-on-woman crime" in the workplace instead of the mentorship you hoped for; or felt like you're hearing No after No to your requests, especially when using email.
