Abby,
That's a great article! As women, I think that we find it particularly difficult to receive. When I coach clients, I find that learning to receive--much less to ask for what they need--is one of the most difficult network lessons. Thanks for the great insights!
Best,
Jeanne

I think this is a tremendous article. I've thought for a long time that it is very rare to see people receive compliments, help or kindness gracefully. If you cannot think of what to say, a simple "Thank you" is perfect.
