Women tend to collaborate, in my experience, more easily than gentlemen do.

Fundraisers treat men completely differently than women. As a matter of fact, many of them have the default on their direct mail set up to read "Mister," and it really rankles a lot of women.

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

If a woman was successful, she wasn't helping other women.

People say to me, 'Has being a woman helped or hindered your career?' And the answer is yes.

I love what's going on these days with these powerful women who are really working to make a difference.

What I saw a thousand times during the downturn was, 'We'd like to give her that opportunity, but we need to go with the sure thing - we can't afford diversity right now,'
