The Law of Pure Potentiality; we all have it in us

Another woman of inspiration to add to my June feature of Black women who go beyond the norm, use adversity as a seed of opportunity and believe their uniqueness is a stepping stool to greatness and not reason to complain (just sayin').
At Xerox, she [Ursula Burns] was valuable to the organization precisely because of her differences, she says. “It’s interesting how uniqueness is more of a significant advantage; it got me seen.” 
Burns recommends a couple of things which I too feel strongly in:
...setting objectives and standards for performance
The measure of money is least important over the long term 
Ursula Burns, Chairman and CEO, Xerox Corporation and the first black female CEO of a fortune 500 company. Hear a lecture Burns conducted with MIT, A Conversation on Leadership. 

Just a little something to get you inspired and your wheels churning. Enjoy!
