致母亲节！女总裁：“我要向所有共事过的职场妈妈道歉”

Q168

One thing is clear. Motherhood is the future for most women. Over 80% of us will become mothers by the age of 44, according to the US Census Bureau. So embrace your future and support it at work!
    Now I know who I am. I’m mother who can manage a large team from my home office or on a business trip, raise money, and build a culture for women to succeed. I’ve never been more productive, satisfied and excited about my future and my daughter’s. I wish I had recognized this years ago.
有一件事再清楚不过：大多数女性迟早是要当妈妈的。根据美国人口普查局的统计，44岁以前，超过80%的女性都会成为母亲。所以勇敢拥抱你的未来，并且在工作中支撑你的未来吧！
    现在我知道了我是一个什么样的人。我是一个能够在家中或出差路上管理一个大型团队的母亲，一个能赚钱的女性，一个能够构建一个让女性获得成功的职场文化的人。我的工作效率超过以往任何时候，而且对我与女儿的未来从未像现在这样满足和兴奋。我希望很多年前自己就能意识到这一点。

For that, I’m sorry to all the mothers I used to work with. Which brings me back to that managing editor I dissed at Time. Her name is Cathy and she has three kids. The deal never went through for a variety of reasons that included editorial fit, but we started talking six months ago. Cathy recently joined PowerToFly as our Executive Editor. She has taught me a lot about how to be more productive than I was before motherhood. I’m now looking for more Cathys to join PowerToFly because I know they can manage households, multiple schedules and very high business goals.
    Katharine Zaleski is the Cofounder and President ofPowerToFly, the first global platform matching women in highly skilled positions across tech and digital that they can do from home, or in an office, if they choose.
因此，我对所有曾和我共事过的母亲感到抱歉。这又让我想起了我在时代公司遇到的那位总编，她的名字叫凯茜，有三个孩子。由于一系列原因，那次合作最终未能达成。但六个月前，我们又开始说话了。凯茜最近加盟了PowerToFly，成为我们的执行编辑。她教了我很多如何提高工作效率的经验。现在我期待有更多像凯茜一样的人加盟PowerToFly，因为我知道她们能够管理好家庭、各种事务，以及非常高的事业目标。
