Feeling confident - or pretending that you feel confident - is necessary to reach for opportunities. It's a cliché, but opportunities are rarely offered; they're seized.

There's no easy path through grief and trauma. Learning from the experiences of people who'd been through similar losses was helpful.

Both men and women react negatively when women negotiate on their own behalf. A man can just negotiate: "I have a better offer. That's not enough to make my family's ends meet." No one feels bad about it. But when a woman does that, there's a backlash.

Our aspirations are really for women to be in half the leadership roles and men to be doing half the work of parenting.

I want women to get paid more. I want to teach them to negotiate so they get paid more.

In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders.

Bring your whole self to work. I don't believe we have a professional self Monday through Friday and a real self the rest of the time. It is all professional and it is all personal.
