“We need to stop telling [women], “Get a mentor and you will excel.” Instead, we need to tell them, “Excel and you will get a mentor.”

Framing the issue of work-life balance – as if the two were dramatically opposed – practically ensures work will lose out. Who would ever choose work over life?

Women attribute their success to working hard, luck, and help from other people. Men will attribute that – whatever success they have, that same success – to their own core skills.

Don’t make decisions too far in advance, particularly ones you’re not even conscious you’re making.

Our culture needs to find a robust image of female success that is first, not male, and second, not a white woman on the phone, holding a crying baby.

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.

Canelo has experience and is a superstar. He’s showed me a lot as a mentor. It’s the biggest blessing that I can have.

Anthony Heilbut has been a guide and a mentor to me. I know of no one who has the love and depth of knowledge of this extraordinary author.

A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you.

It’s an eerie feeling, as if my old mentor is not just in the room, but in my shoes, using me as his mouthpiece.

I’ve always been pleased with the investments I’ve made with my friend Albert Frere and I regret not having followed him more, because I would have been a lot richer.

My sensei was a British karate champion named Brian Fitkin. He was my mentor and because I had a hard relationship with my dad, he became a father figure to me.

Our true mentor in life is science.

Mentors of mine were under a big pressure to minimize their femininity to make it. I’m not going to do that. That takes away my power. I’m not going to compromise who I am.
