职场女神：高效女性的七大习惯

Speaking from behind a lectern, participating in a conference call or composing an email, excellent communication skills are essential.
无论是在讲台上演说、参与电话会议还是撰写电子邮件，出色的沟通技巧必不可少。

While some people may be naturally gregarious or charismatic, even introverted women may still excel at this, as long as they are assertive and pay attention to detail.
虽然有些人可能天生就魅力无穷、热爱交际，但是即使内敛的女性也仍能脱颖而出——只要她充满自信并且注重细节。

“What you have to remember is that you’re an intelligent, articulate woman and you’ve more than earned your place at the table.”

If you have a tendency toward falling back on weaker language, prepare what you have to say in advance of any meeting so that you’re sure of the words coming out of your mouth.
如果你会不由自主地使用回软弱的语言，那就在每次会议前预先准备好自己要说的内容，这样就能对脱口而出的话更有把握。

In most modern work environments, the line between friends and co-workers is often blurred, and before you know it, your entire office knows about your marital woes or your chronic insomnia.
在当代职场上，通常朋友与同事的界线已经模糊了。还没等你察觉到这点，你不幸的婚姻或是慢性失眠症就已经在办公室里众所皆知了。

By the same token, it is critical to protect your personal life from being invaded by your career.
同样的道理，保护你的私生活不受工作侵犯也很关键。

While many people check emails until bedtime, make sure that when you want a break — whether to connect with a family member or go for a run — the phones go away.

Not only is it good manners, but it allows you to take a mental vacation from the intensity of the work day.
这可不仅是礼貌，更重要的是你可以在紧张的工作之外得到精神的放松。

Balancing those two sides of life — knowing how to distance yourself from work in personal time and from personal life during work — will help you thrive in both worlds.
平衡工作与生活的关系，懂得让工作与生活保持距离，这会让你在两个世界都游刃有余。
