I'd like to see where boys and girls end up if they get equal encouragement I think we might have some differences in how leadership is done

We can each define ambition and progress for ourselves. The goal is to work toward a world where expectations are not set by the stereotypes that hold us back, but by our personal passion, talents and interests.

In our performance reviews with women, we need to be saying, "Are you reaching enough? Are you applying for jobs when you meet some of the criteria like men, or are you waiting to meet all the criteria like women do?" There's so much we can do to encourage women to take on more and believe in themselves.

Grief comes and goes, it ebbs and flows. I think one of the lessons of this for me is that there's no one way to grieve. Everyone does it in their own way, in their own time, and we all process life and its challenges and its ups and downs as they come.

So please ask yourself: What would I do if I weren't afraid? And then go do it.

Build your skills, not your resume.

It's easy to dislike the few senior women out there. What if women were half the positions in power? It would be harder to dislike all of them.
