“But I really believe that when you give people authentic identity, which is what Facebook does, and you can be your real self and connect with real people online, things will change.”

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.

I go around the room and ask people, ‘What do you think?’

Your life’s course will not be determined by doing the things that you are certain you can do. Those are the easy things. It will be determined by whether you try the things that are hard.

Every job will demand some sacrifice. The key is to avoid unnecessary sacrifice.

It’s possible to be all the parts of you that live in your heart, brain, and body. Not divided into containers. A giant messy wait of authenticity. Where you are all the things. All the time.

I cannot face another moment of inauthenticity. Not one more day. Saying no to the things that make me uncomfortable in my skin.

Authentic needs are the needs that are always met by the Universe.

What if the key to unlocking your true authentic power, to opening up your heart deeply to love, to finding the confidence to go after everything you want in your life lies hidden in your shadow?

Humbleness, forgiveness, clarity and love are the dynamics of freedom. They are the foundations of authentic power.

Act on your inner guidance, and give up your need for ‘proof’ that your inner guidance is authentic. The more you ask for proof, the less likely you are to receive any.

The dominant characteristic of an authentic spiritual life is the gratitude that flows from trust — not only for all the gifts that I receive from God, but gratitude for all the suffering. Because in that purifying experience, suffering has often been the shortest path to intimacy with God.

Childlike surrender and trust, I believe, is the defining spirit of authentic discipleship.
