“Someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home. These men exist and, trust me, over time, nothing is sexier.”

When companies offer support and assistance for personal and family hardships, their employees become more loyal and more productive.

The best way to make room for both life and career is to make choices deliberately-to set limits and stick to them.

If you ask men why they did a good job, they’ll say, ‘I’m awesome. Obviously. Why are you even asking?’ If you ask women why they did a good job, what they’ll say is someone helped them, they got lucky, they worked really hard.

If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat! Just get on.

I have never worked for a woman, and I have never worked with a lot of women.

Don’t let your fears overwhelm your desire. Let the barriers you face-and there will be barriers-be external, not internal. Fortune does favor the bold, and I promise that you will never know what you’re capable of unless you try.

It is the ultimate luxury to combine passion and contribution. It’s also a very clear path to happiness.

I want to tell any young girl out there who’s a geek, I was a really serious geek in high school. It works out. Study harder.

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

We hold ourselves back in ways both big and small, by lacking self-confidence, by not raising our hands, and by pulling back when we should be leaning in.

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

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

I wish I could just go tell all the young women I work with, all these fabulous women, ‘Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.’ I wish I could tell that to my daughter. But it’s not that simple.

Aiming for perfection causes frustration at best and paralysis at worst.

If more women are in leadership roles, we’ll stop assuming they shouldn’t be.

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