Women need to shift form thinking "I'm not ready to do that" to thinking "I want to do that- and I'll learn by doing it.

I know from my own experience that the path to change is best traveled when we travel together.

No one gets to the top, if they sit on the sidelines, or if they don't believe in themselves.

No industry or country can reach its full potential until women reach their full potential. This is especially true of science and technology, where women with a surplus of talent still face a deficit of opportunity.

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

What about the rat race in the first place? Is it worthwhile? Or are you just buying into someone else's definition of success? Only you can decide that, and you'll have to decide it over and over and over. But if you think it's a rat race, before you drop out, take a deep breath. Maybe you picked the wrong job. Try again. And then try again.

Women have made tons of progress. But we still have a small percentage of the top jobs in any industry, in any nation in the world. I think that's partly because from a very young age, we encourage our boys to lead and we call our girls bossy.
