LIFE LESSONS

Don’t stand still. “Changing up is so good for you. It shakes you up; it challenges you. It puts you in different situations. You meet different people and have different experiences.”

Don’t worry about status. “When I was on Frontline and went to the newsroom, people thought I was bonkers. When I quit the press gallery without a job, people thought I had a midlife crisis. When they discovered I was going to a women’s magazine, they thought

I was having a breakdown. When I left Chapman Tripp, some people told me I’d never get good work again. How wrong they were. Not worrying about how others perceive your path brings opportunities.”

Choose the right life partner. “Alan has never been anything but perpetually supportive and optimistic that whatever I tried would work out.”
