She Never Raised Her Voice—She Changed the Business | Nancy Cushing-Jones

Nancy Cushing-Jones entered Universal Studios in 1979, when only three other women at the company worked above the level of secretary. She went on to become the first female division president in the studio’s history, transform publishing into a global revenue-generating business, and help build the emerging video-game licensing industry.  But this conversation is about more than an extraordinary résumé.Nancy joins Wise Women… Forward to talk about the quiet architecture of power: keeping your back straight, setting clear boundaries, asking for what you deserve, and refusing to confuse aggression with authority.She shares what happened when men assumed she was there to fetch their coffee, how she stopped a notorious Hollywood screamer before he could begin, and why being underestimated can become an advantage—provided you know who you are when you enter the room.  It is a masterclass in leadership without theatrics, confidence without ego, and speaking the truth without surrendering your dignity.Because sometimes power does not shout.Sometimes it smiles politely and says, “No, I don’t think so.”Nancy's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancy-cushing-jones-366b7/Rent the Wise Woman Movie - bingeable.net/wisewomenInfo about the film wisewomenmovie.com
