Whenever I'm in a room with Robin McGehee (the executive director of GetEQUAL), I become so aware that that I don't have a strategic or tactical mind. Robin, and a many of the people she works with, think in terms of message, strategy, and tactics in a way that I so respect and so admire, but I could never emulate.

What I mean is that Robin would be the kind of woman that would probably excel in a game of chess.  She would no doubt be able to see the whole game board as the metaphor of the battlefield that it emulates, think five or more moves in advance, while at the same time thinking about what moves her opponent may make -- five or more moves in advance there too.
