I have a five year-old son and a three year-old daughter. I want my son to have a choice to contribute fully in the workforce or at home. And I want my daughter to have the choice to not just succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.

I really think we need more women to lean into their careers and to be really dedicated to staying in the work force.

So there's no such thing as work-life balance. There's work, and there's life, and there's no balance.

I just believed. I believed that the technology would change people's lives. I believed putting real identity online - putting technology behind real identity - was the missing link.

If I had to embrace a definition of success, it would be that success is making the best choices we can ... and accepting them.

Talking can transform minds, which can transform behaviors, which can transform institutions.

The reason I wrote Lean In is I think people weren't actually noticing that we had stopped making progress. I gave a TED talk and said: "It turns out men still run the world." And the audience gasped as if that was news.
