Relationship-building is critical to the success of women in cable, Walker notes. She should know. As the top human resources executive for Turner’s entertainment networks, she oversees recruiting and diversity outreach within the company and externally. “Relationships with individuals who are superiors, peers, subordinates, in the industry and not in the industry will play a key role in your success,” she says. Aside from building her leadership skills, BMLI got Walker’s health and fitness back on track. “Like most women, I’d spent more than a decade focusing on career and family and without realizing that I’d done so, I’d actually put myself on the backburner. I implemented some of the things I learned at Betsy Magness along with a couple of additional action items. My health and fitness level have improved significantly.”
