I think I'm a better mother because of work, because I'm happy. If I wasn't working, I would just be waiting for the kids to come home every day, and living vicariously through their lives.

Part of creating the future is to follow this consumer. Women are working; we've moved the store to the desk.

Always go into meetings or negotiations with a positive attitude. Tell yourself you're going to make this the best deal for all parties.

I attend Internet conferences all the time, and they literally make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
