In our corporate culture, because someone may have to take some flexibility because of family issues, somehow we continue to believe they aren't fully dedicated.

If you haven't had a major fail in your career - face-plant level - you aren't trying hard enough.

I would say one of the reasons that women don't invest to the same extent that men do, is because we still think of it in some ways as a male pursuit.

Women, girls and young ladies tend to be as good or better at math than boys, but you didn't think that either.

Women tell us that they do feel patronized. They do feel like they don't have the time and the space to have their questions answered.

Men tend to leave their financial adviser at a single-digit-percent rate in any given year. And women leave their husband and their joint financial adviser in the year after their spouse's death at a rate of greater than 70 percent - seven-zero.

The industry financial advisers, on average about 85% male, tends to be a more mature financial adviser - so I think in their 50s, really. For so many companies, in their 60s. In fact, there is one company that was telling me they had more financial advisers over the age of 80 than under the age of 30.
