Sheryl Sandberg

I'll be attending an exciting event at the all-new Playground in Atlantic City this week called Dinner with Divas. It's an evening of networking with professional women while enjoying cocktails and conversation. It's always great when the area's influential women can get together. So I thought I'd take a minute to reflect on a few of the power divas that inspire me.

Look, maybe I'm sensitive, but I've always taken umbrage with the label 'bossy'.  I've always viewed the adjective as convenient for people who don't like when someone is assertive or opinionated.  Now a new campaign initiated by Facebook COO Sheryl Sanberg (and endorsed by the likes of Beyonce and Jennifer Garner) seeks to ban the word 'bossy'.  But does the idea really need to be taken that far?
