Valerie Jarrett was known as “the Obama whisperer” when she worked as a senior adviser to President Obama. But the title doesn't do her justice: she is a lawyer, an author, a former CEO, an advocate for women and girls, a new grandmother and a longtime mentor to Jennifer Palmieri. In this episode of "Just Something About Her," Jennifer calls Valerie “the most confident person in the entire White House" and gets her advice on how women can stand their ground in the halls of power. Valerie and Jennifer also talk about how to level the playing field in a gendered workplace, how women in Obama’s administration banded together to improve their standing, and how to ask for a raise.
