Someone once told me growth and comfort do not coexist. And I think it’s a really good thing to remember.

One of the most important things for any leader is to never let anyone else define who you are. And you define who you are. I never think of myself as being a woman CEO of this company. I think of myself as a steward of a great institution.

Growth and comfort do not coexist.

To me, I learned along the way, you know, culture is behavior. That's all it is; culture is people's behaviors.

Today when I think about diversity, I actually think about the word “inclusion.” And I think this is a time of great inclusion. It’s not men, it’s not women alone. Whether it’s geographic, it’s approach, it’s your style, it’s your way of learning, the way you want to contribute, it’s your age - it is really broad.

Don't let others define you. Define yourself.

Never love something so much that you can’t let go of it.
