QUOTES AND KEY TAKEAWAYS
“What I have found on where I could be successful was figuring out who I was and how I wanted to show up.”
“As women we tend to overwork issues. We are afraid to make mistakes. We feel the spotlight is particularly on us as women. So we want everything to be right. When we do that, we miss opportunities.”
“Women sometimes struggle with going up against the grain because they’ve worked so hard to get where they are at and they don’t want to mess anything up. And yet the great women we all know are the ones who broke the mold.”
“When a business is growing, it is so easy to get insulated.”
Strategic Mindset: “It’s really about thinking differently not just acting differently.”
“Your value becomes the ability to look beyond the here and now.”
Strategic Thinking: “You’re much more outward focused from your organization than inward focused to getting things done.”
“It’s nearly impossible for us to switch in the moment from tactical to strategic.”
“At an executive level, it’s all about people leadership. It’s about developing your team, helping them learn more, and getting them excited about the work that they do so they deliver on behalf of the firm.”
