Learning of Barbara Walters’s passing on New Year’s Eve was difficult. I never met her, but I felt like I knew her from watching her on television all these years. 

There is something about her career that has always fascinated me. She wasn’t just a trailblazer. She didn’t simply shatter the glass ceiling. She was more than a leader in her field.

She was Barbara Walters.

Here are some stories and facts about Barbara’s career that I find truly inspiring.

For example:

• If you have to deal with a difficult colleague who doesn’t respect you, watch how Barbara navigated her tumultuous working relationship with Harry Reasoner.
• Pay attention to how Barbara prepares for an interview. Imagine doing that for your next job interview.
• Do you want to create a new chapter in your career? Look no further than what Barbara did with The View.
