It featured Tricia Fitzmaurice, Director, National Security Programs, Federal Law Enforcement & Justice at Red Hat Software\\xa0and Mahsa Soltani,\\xa0Regional Director of Growth Sales - North America at Akamai Technologies.

TRICIA\'S TIP FOR EMERGING SALES LEADERS: "The advice I always give to women is to support each other, especially in the IT and technical fields, where there aren\'t that many of us. Support each other, help each other, promote other women, bring other women to the conversations, help them get their value out into your organization. Somebody else\'s success does not mean that you are devalued. Look at other people\'s successes as your success as well, as an opportunity for you to succeed maybe later in something else. Promote those successes among people."

MAHSA\'S TIP FOR EMERGING SALES LEADERS: "Be your own biggest supporter instead of critic. Tell yourself "you\'re doing a phenomenal job. You\'re doing a great job at work. You\'re doing a great job outside of work." I feel like as women, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves and a lot of times we\'re our hardest and toughest critics. You\'re doing great and you\'re doing the best that you can and it\'s incredible in every phase of your life. Believe that and be your own biggest supporter and tell your inner critic to \'shh\' which can really help a lot of times."
