I feel really grateful to the people who encouraged me and helped me develop. Nobody can succeed on their own.

We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.

Women systematically underestimate their own abilities.

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.

I gave a talk on gender stuff at Facebook one morning and a man didn't come. It was optional; he didn't have to come. But he sent a note saying, "I missed your meeting because I drove my kids to school so my wife could do something else. Thank you for making that possible." I think that employee is a loyal employee for Facebook and I think more companies should want that kind of loyalty.

I go around the room and ask people, 'What do you think?'

Don't be afraid to ask the 'dumb' question, everyone else will be relieved you had the guts to ask!
