I prefer the word "engagement." Instead of empowerment, it's enabling women to engage in business.

Greater diversity drives better business results.

I was lucky. My children didn't have health issues, didn't have big school problems, etc. And as I watched some of my peers go through this, you can see how quickly a family can get derailed when they are not lucky.

When I started on Wall Street, there was pretty good diversity in those junior ranks. And you know what? It hasn't made it to the top.

Nothing bad happens when women are in positions of power.

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

Women have different characteristics and needs than men do.
