"I hadn't thought that as well as the obvious fears about money, and your future, losing your job would make you feel inadequate, and a bit useless. That it would be harder to get up in the morning then when you were rudely shocked into consciousness by the alarm. That you might miss the people you worked with, no matter how little you had in common with them. Or even that you might find yourself searching for familiar faces as you walked the high street."

"If more women are in leadership roles, we'll stop assuming they shouldn't be."
Equality
"I'm a pragmatist. I think, as a woman, you have to be more careful. You have to be more communal, you have to say yes to more things than men, you have to worry about things that men don't have to worry about. But once we get enough women into leadership, we can break stereotypes down. If you lead, you get to decide."
Equality
"Our discomfort with female leadership runs deep. We call little girls bossy. We never really call little boys bossy, because a boy is expected to lead, so it doesn't surprise or offend."
Equality
"I'd like to see where boys and girls end up if they get equal encouragement - I think we might have some differences in how leadership is done."
Equality
"Whoever has the power takes the noun while the less powerful get an adjective. No one wants her achievements modified.We all just want to be the noun."
Society
"If we push hard now, this next wave can be the last wave. In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders."
Equality
"Communication works best when we combine appropriateness with authenticity, finding that sweet spot where opinions are not brutally honest but delicately honest."
Leadership
"Feminism wasn't supposed to make us feel guilty, or prod us into constant competition over who is raising children better, organizing more cooperative marriages, or getting less sleep. It was supposed to make us free -to give us not only choices but the ability to make these choices without constantly feeling that we'd somehow gotten it wrong."
Equality
"Feedback is an opinion, grounded in observations and experiences, which allows us to know what impression we make on others."
Leadership
"I hope you find true meaning, contentment, and passion in your life. I hope you navigate the difficult times and come out with greater strength and resolve. I hope you find whatever balance you seek with your eyes wide open. And I hope that you - yes, you - have the ambition to lean in to your career and run the world. Because the world needs you to change it."
