What I heard and learned . . .
In 2010, 104 million women owned businesses, representing 84% of global GDP.
Women own 10 million firms and employ 13 million people.
Companies achieve better financial results with women on executive committees.
Charlotte Beers, @charlottebeers, advertising guru, speaker
"When you talk do so with personal “clarity, memorability, and persuasion.”
“Stand for the person who has no other voice – you.”
"Sometimes it is more important to be “leaderly” than “womanly.”
Dr. Brené Brown, @brenebrown, research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, author, speaker
“There is no equation where vulnerability equals weakness.”
“Most of us are afraid and brave everyday, every minute at the exact same time.”
“If you aren’t in the arena everyday getting your butt kicked then I don’t want to hear your opinion on my work.”
"Vulnerability = courage"
"Show up to be seen."
