Women candidates get asked different questions than male candidates—that's just a fact. Kamala has a whole team around her ready to handle queries about her ambition and the racist and sexist attacks. But this 100-day sprint also gives Kamala an advantage: an opportunity to show that she is the tougher, stronger, and more prepared leader. Jennifer Palmieri joins Tim Miller. show notes: Jennifer's book, “She Proclaims: Our Declaration of Independence from a Man's World.” Jennifer's book, "Dear Madam President: An Open Letter to the Women Who Will Run the World" Bulwark piece on former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern
Political adviser and author Jennifer Palmieri writes that her usual response to losing a campaign is to keep fighting, but the 2016 election took a lot out of her. The former director of communications for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s 2016 campaign for president took a moment to see what the world would do. As she shares in her new book “She Proclaims: Our Declaration of Independence from a Man’s World,” there was a turning point for her: the Women’s March in 2017. Palmieri writes: “As soon as I saw the news reports detailing the numbers of women who’d turned out for the march, I knew that women had turned a corner for good. Women in America had each other’s backs in a way I have never experienced before, and it made me grateful beyond measure. It also gave me hope.” MPR News host Kerri Miller talked with Palmieri Tuesday about the history of the suffrage movement, feminism, access to power and Palmieri’s vision of women declaring freedom from a man’s world and their worth. Guest: Jennifer Palmieri is a Democratic political adviser and the author of “Dear Madam President: An Open Letter to the Women Who Will Run the World.” Her latest book is “She Proclaims: Our Declaration of Independence from a Man's World.” Editor’s note: August 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the adoption of the 19th Amendment, and racist policies kept too many women of color from the polls for decades beyond that. As we mark this anniversary and weigh that history, MPR News with Kerri Miller is asking: What does it mean to be a woman in America today? This series airs weekly; our conversations have looked at the role of Black women and power over time and women’s access to political power following the nomination of Sen. Kamala Harris for vice president of the Democratic ticket.

Today you’ll learn about the third step of the 5-Step Boundary Solution process, Identifying Your Power Center. (If you haven’t already heard the previous two episodes, I recommend listening to them first.) Most of us have a conflicted, or even negative, relationship with power. Step 3 is all about identifying your power center. Tune in to learn all about power: what it is, its negative and positive aspects, and how to use it as you are developing better personal and relationship boundaries. Biggest Takeaways From Episode #12: Power can be defined as the ability to do something or act in a particular way, or the capacity to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events. Power appears in three general ways along a continuum. On one extreme is power-over. On the other extreme is powerlessness. In the healthy middle is authentic personal power. Most of us default toward one end of this continuum. People who use power-over strategies often make demands or tell others what to do. People closer to the powerless end tend not to use the power that they have. Generally speaking, men tend to default toward the power-over side of the continuum, and women toward the powerless end. A person who acts from a place of authentic personal power realizes that the only person she has power over is herself. She’s in touch with her needs and wants, and she’s aware of (and accountable for) the impact of her behavior on other people. Highlights from Episode #12: Today, Vicki will cover step 3 of the 5-Step Boundary Solution: Identifying Your Power Center. [02:04] We learn about the definitions of power. [03:53] For most of us, power shows up in three general ways that lie along a continuum. [05:25] Cesar Millan had an episode in his television show, Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan, featuring a powerful CEO who was, on the one hand, very powerful in the workplace, yet powerless around his own dogs' behaviors. This simple example illustrates how we can exercise power differently in different situations. [08:00] Vicki takes a moment to talk about power and gender. [10:34] At best, power-over is controlling—at worst, it’s abusive. [14:18] Vicki shares some of the ways you can tell whether you’re operating through authentic personal power. [15:48] In this step of the 5-Step Boundary Solution process, you’ll identify one of four options. [20:29] There are dangers that come with not owning the power you have, or when you attempt to have power in situations where you don’t.

There is a line from the 1973 movie The Way We Were, where Katie Morosky, played by Barbra Streisand, talks about Hubbell Gardner, played by Robert Redford. She says of Gardner/Redford, “In a way he was like the country he lived in; everything came too easily to him.” And that has been a narrative, albeit, often a false one, of ease and grace that the public often seeks to buy into with respect to its leaders. Certainly Kennedy successfully exploited it, maybe even laid the political predicate for it, in his race against Nixon in 1960. In a way it was even a part of the Obama narrative. On the flip side, it may have very well worked against Hillary Clinton in 2016. It seems that for Hillary Clinton, nothing came easily. Everything she had ever achieved was, or appeared to be, a struggle. One that played out on the public stage for more than 40 years. Jennifer Palmieri got to see this up close and personal as Hillary Clinton’s Communications Director, and herself a veteran of many years in politics and in the White House. She brings it all into focus in her new book Dear Madam President: An Open Letter to the Women Who Will Run the World My conversation with Jennifer Palmieri:
Kathryn interviews President of the Center for American Progress Action Fund Jennifer Palmieri, author of “Dear Madam President: An Open Letter to the Women Who Will Run the World”. As head of communications for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, Palmieri optimistically argues that the Clinton candidacy and all she experienced on the campaign trail - confusion, admiration, hate, love, acceptance, rejection - can now open the country up to re-imagining women in leadership roles. Kathryn also interviews US National Memory Champion Chester Santos, author of “Mastering Memory: Techniques to Turn Your Brain from a Sieve to a Sponge”. Who doesn't have issues with their memory? We can all use some tips on how to fuel and improve our brains! Santos, one of the world's foremost experts on memory-training techniques, lays out effective techniques for total recall: the story method, the body method, the journey method and the phonetic alphabet system.

Well over a year since we were shocked to our cores by Hillary Clinton's defeat in the 2016 US Election, we still can't quite stop talking about it or trying to make sense of it. It may be even harder when you're Jennifer Palmieri, former communications director for Clinton's presidential campaign. Before stepping into that role, Palmieri served as White House Communications Director for U.S. President Barack Obama and she also worked for President Bill Clinton. She has just published her book, Dear Madam President: An Open Letter to the Women Who Will Run the World. Kathy Sheridan spoke to her about that and lots more.
Jennifer Palmieri, former Director of Communications for both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama – visits the RSA to issue an open invitation to all women to forge a new model of leadership. While wildly disappointed by the outcome of the election, Palmieri argues that the Clinton candidacy and all she experienced on the campaign trail --confusion, admiration, hate, love, acceptance, rejection-- can now open us all up to reimagining women in leadership roles. This event was recorded live at The RSA on Tuesday 24th April 2018. Discover more about this event here: https://www.thersa.org/events/2018/04/an-open-letter-to-the-women-who-will-run-the-world

Jennifer Palmieri, communications director of the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign, says she wants to turn the results of the 2016 election into something empowering for future female leaders and advises the next woman who runs for President to write her own playbook not emulate her male predecessors. She shares her insider’s perspective on the Clinton campaign, gives some insight into the candidate who she says was reluctant to run for President in 2016 and was all too aware of the slings and arrows that would come her way. She also shares some wisdom from another famous female mentor of hers the late Elizabeth Edwards, she re-examines the role of former FBI director James Comey in the 2016 election, and explains why Hillary Clinton’s email problem was about way more than just emails. Plus Jennifer Palmieri responds to all those armchair strategists who asked “where was THAT Hillary?” after her concession speech, she suggests that candidates for office should cry more and nod less, and she casts the Batman version of the 2016 election.

Jennifer Palmieri, the communications director for Hillary Clinton's 2016 Presidential campaign, talks with Recode's Kara Swisher about her new book, "Dear Madam President: An Open Letter to the Women Who Will Run the World." Palmieri reflects on the obstacles — fair and unfair — that Clinton faced while running against now-President Trump and says part of the problem was that she held herself back, discounting the value of telling her own story to the American people. She also shares some advice for the woman who will one day be President of the United States and talks about how much has changed in the media and technology strategies of political campaigns in just two years.
