Women Leaders
- “So much of what it takes to be a leader has been historically defined by men,” ….”And while I was determined to be a leader, the last thing in the world I was going to do was to try to be like a man so that I could be taken seriously. I had to continue to be myself and create a leadership style that worked for me. I’m just not capable of being anyone other than who I am.”
- “Feeling the sting of rejection, women leaders learn from adversity and carry on with an “I’ll show you” attitude.”
- “As a leader, there are times you need to risk going in a direction that no one else has ever taken before. You just have to step out there and follow the path you think is right.”
- “With women, it’s all about confidence and helping them believe that they can do whatever they want to do. And they don’t have to change themselves in order to be successful. I find myself mentoring aspiring young women and giving them that push to get over being so hard on themselves.”

A Thank-You for 18 Million Cracks in the Glass Ceiling
“We need more leaders to stand against corruption….We need more leaders who say no to business as usual. We need more leaders who get up every single day and say ‘what can I do this day to help the largest number of people live up to their God-given potential.”
“Although we weren’t able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, … it’s got about 18 million cracks in it.”
