”Your leadership can help provide mentor capabilities for you, can help give you an honest assessment of where your opportunities are and where your development areas need to be. Because no one’s perfect. We all need to develop. But we own our own journey.”

”Anyone, man or woman, can accomplish anything. But there are certain hurdles women in business have to plow through or jump over. And I love to be able to tell the story, inspire other women, that they need to speak up for themselves. You may never a hundred percent be qualified for any job, but you’ve got to believe in yourself and put your name out there. Otherwise you’ll watch everybody pass you by if you don’t take some risk.”

“Figure out what’s going to make you happy and where you see yourself 10 years from now. And then take the opportunities that are in front of you that help round you out. ven if it’s not your end-state and even if it’s not a promotion. It’s super important that people are open to moving laterally, gaining as much in their toolkit as they can, so that when that next position to get that promotion comes, you can say, ‘But look, I’ve done each area of this business. I deserve the shot at this.’”
