stage for original music, a small unique wine list, a simple tasty menu, and a lot of
personality.”

Political Mantra: Hard Work = Success
Barbara Dickens, Vice President, General Counsel

already do to the next level. So those characteristics — along with a healthy dose
of discontentment — help me in everything I do."
HOW HER LOOK STATES HER MESSAGE:
“Although maintaining any advancement in your career
really depends more on your field expertise and your character, I believe what you
wear may impact someone’s impression of you. So it’s important to wear
professional work clothes appropriate for your particular environment.”
