As a child, Whitney was repeatedly scolded for being too opinionated. She was told to mind her own business and keep her feelings to herself. But today she is convinced that having strong opinions and the courage to express them — along with the willingness to stand behind them — has been the greatest factor in her success. It has also been her greatest source of distress.
