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

The gender stereotypes introduced in childhood are reinforced throughout our lives and become self-fulfilling prophesies. Most leadership positions are held by men, so women don’t expect to achieve them, and that becomes one of the reasons they don’t.

We need women at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women’s voices are heard and heeded, not overlooked and ignored.

Leaders should strive for authenticity over perfection.

The time is long overdue to encourage more women to dream the possible dream.

The No. 1 impediment to women succeeding in the workforce is now in the home.

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.

If you do please everyone, you are not making enough progress.

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.

Being confident and believing in your own self-worth is necessary to achieving your potential.

Everyone needs to get more comfortable with female leaders-including female leaders themselves.

Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.

Build your skills, not your resume.

I’m a feminist because I believe in women, it’s a heavy word, feminism, but it’s not one I think we should run from. I’m proud to be a feminist.

Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence.

And anyway, who wears a tiara on a jungle gym?

Motivation comes from working on things we care about. It also comes from working with people we care about.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

The willingness to show up changes us, It makes us a little braver each time.

Russia is the biggest country in the world. It would be very difficult to surround it, and the world is changing so fast that it would basically be impossible, even in theory.

When people tell me nothing has changed, I say come walk in my shoes and I will show you change.

After all, the wrong is done. It is past and cannot be changed. We have only the present and the future upon which to move forward.

Though things change, the future’s still inside of me.

I believe people can change, but only for the worse.

Climate change poses an existential threat to the planet that is no less dire than that posed by North Korea’s nuclear ambitions.
