I really think we need more women to lean into their careers and to be really dedicated to staying in the work force.
I probably shouldn’t admit this since I work in the tech industry, but I still prefer reading paper books.
I want women to get paid more. I want to teach them to negotiate so they get paid more.
Build your skills not your resume.
I feel really grateful to the people who encouraged me and helped me develop. Nobody can succeed on their own.
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.
Next time you’re about to call your daughter bossy, take a deep breath and say, ‘My daughter has executive leadership skills.’
Fortune does favor the bold and you’ll never know what you’re capable of if you don’t try.
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.
Social gains are never handed out. They must be seized.
It is the ultimate luxury to combine passion and contribution. It’s also a very clear path to happiness.
Give us a world where half our homes are run by men, and half our institutions are run by women. I’m pretty sure that would be a better world.
When you want to change things, you won’t please everyone.
Most people assume that women are responsible for households and child care. Most couples operate that way – not all. That fundamental assumption holds women back.
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.
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.
Until women are as ambitious as men, they’re not gong to achieve as much as men.
But the upside of painful knowledge is so much greater than the downside of blissful ignorance.
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.
The path to change is best traveled when we travel together.
