[Motorola]
- When I was talking to org. of conf. A couple of wks ago, they were telling about agenda, & asked me to speak about "keys to success", & leadership skills... one suggested I talk about why I decided to become an astro...reminded me of answer given by another women astro - K.S - when asked why she decided..... "My mother was an astronaut,....."
- Now, at 1st glance, you might not think that qualities that lead to success as astronaut would be the same as those that would lead to success in other areas - the astro experience may not be that relevant......
But I think it is
I'll mention 2 "keys to success" which have stood me in good stead - while I was astro & in years since:
=> the 2 are: 
- preparation 
- teamwork 
=> & these 2 contribute to a 3rd...ability to be flexible & adaptable 
Say a little about importance of each, & how each is fostered in space pgm.
1. preparation => name of the game at NASA - by the time you fly, you will be prepared.
=> give you idea of prep. involved.
