“Done is better than perfect.”
— Sheryl Sandberg
“What would you do if you weren’t afraid?”
“Speak up. Believe in yourself. Take risks.”
“Build your skills not your resume.”
“So please ask yourself: What would I do if I weren’t afraid? And then go do it.”
“If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat! Just get on.”
“You need to feel that you’re making a difference.”
“Aiming for perfection causes frustration at best and paralysis at worst.”
“Your life’s course will not be determined by doing the things that you are certain you can do. Those are the easy things. It will be determined by whether you try the things that are hard.”
“Getting from point A to point Z can be daunting unless you remember that you don’t have to get from A to Z. You just have to get from A to B. Breaking big dreams into small steps is the way to move forward.”
“Don’t be afraid to ask the ‘dumb’ question, everyone else will be relieved you had the guts to ask!”
“If you do please everyone, you are not making enough progress.”
“Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”
“Bring your whole self to work. I don’t believe we have a professional self Monday through Friday and a real self the rest of the time. It is all professional and it is all personal.”
“In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders.”
“Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.”
“Leadership is not bullying and leadership is not aggression. Leadership is the expectation that you can use your voice for good. That you can make the world a better place.”
“The cost of stability is often diminished opportunities for growth.”
“I’ve seen over and over how much self-belief drives outcomes. And that’s why I force myself to sit at the table, even when I am not sure I belong there – and yes, this still happens to me. And when I’m not sure anyone wants my opinion, I take a deep breath and speak up anyway.”
“It is the ultimate luxury to combine passion and contribution. It’s also a very clear path to happiness.”
“We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.”
“If more women are in leadership roles, we’ll stop assuming they shouldn’t be.”
“There is no such thing as work-life balance. There is work, there is life, and there is no balance.”
“Fortune does favor the bold and you’ll never know what you’re capable of if you don’t try.”
“Real empathy is sometimes not insisting that it will be okay but acknowledging that it is not.”
“There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.”
“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.”
“The reason I don’t have a plan is because if I have a plan I’m limited to today’s options.”
“Trying to do it all and expecting that it all can be done exactly right is a recipe for disappointment. Perfection is the enemy.”
“Excel and you will get a mentor.”
“The path to change is best traveled when we travel together.”
“Women attribute their success to working hard, luck, and help from other people. Men will attribute that – whatever success they have, that same success – to their own core skills.”
“The most important career decision you’ll make is who your life partner is.”
“I feel really grateful to the people who encouraged me and helped me develop. Nobody can succeed on their own.”
“Its time to cheer on girls and women who want to sit at the table.”
“Being confident and believing in your own self-worth is necessary to achieving your potential.”
“The time is long overdue to encourage more women to dream the possible dream.”
“I want my daughter to have the choice not just to succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.”
“When you’re more valuable, the people around you will do more to make it work.”
“We need women at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women’s voices are heard and heeded, not overlooked and ignored.”
“The best way to make room for both life and career is to make choices deliberately-to set limits and stick to them.”
“Without fear, women can pursue professional success and personal fulfillment-and freely choose one, or the other, or both.”
“Nobody can succeed on their own.”
“The promise of equality is not the same as true equality.”
“As a country and as a world, we are not comfortable with women in leadership roles. We call little girls bossy.”
“Social media has created a historical shift from the historically powerful to the historically powerless. Now everyone has a voice.”
“The most important thing – and I’ve said it a hundred times and I’ll say it a hundred times – if you marry a man, marry the right one.”
“A truly equal world would be one where women ran half our countries and companies and men ran half our homes.”
“No industry or country can reach its full potential until women reach their full potential.”
“Men can comfortably claim credit for what they do as long as they don’t veer into arrogance. For women, taking credit comes at a real social and professional cost.”
