My MESSAGE To Women Is It's Okay Not To Toe The PARTY Line On Every Issue. You Don't Have To Be A PUPPET Or A Mouthpiece For Your Party On Every Issue. You Can Be An Independent Thinker; You Can TAKE It Issue By Issue, And That's Okay. You Shouldn't Be Told, 'You Can't SIT With Us.'

Our WORKFORCE And Our Entire Economy Are Strongest When We Embrace DIVERSITY To Its FULLEST, And That MEANS OPENING Doors Of Opportunity To Everyone And Recognizing That The American Dream Excludes No One.

Dream Small DREAMS. If You MAKE Them Too Big, You Get Overwhelmed And You Don't Do Anything. If You Make Small Goals And Accomplish Them, It Gives You The Confidence To Go On To HIGHER Goals.

No 11-year-old GIRL Wants To Be 5-10. I ALWAYS Felt BIG And UNATTRACTIVE.

Yes, CEOs Are Under Pressure From All Sides, And Executives Have All SORTS Of People Pushing And Pulling At Them. But Too OFTEN, They Begin To View And TREAT Their Teams, And Especially Their Assistants, As Appliances. And A Good Assistant Knows That The Last THING Their Boss Wants To HEAR From Them Is A Personal Complaint About Anything.
