Noteworthy Quotes from This Episode
“It’s going to be the contribution that I make to the business, not how I look, that is ultimately going to get me where I need to go.”
“And I think if I would tell myself something back then, […] be comfortable in your skin, be who you are, […] you know what you care about most. […] that’s what’s going to make you successful, your contributions to the team, to the output of the results.”
“Since there are not a ton of women that are out there in tech, I actually feel like it [being a woman] was not a disadvantage for me. If anything, it was an advantage.”
“The people management, empathetic leadership type of the side of our roles has never been more important.”
“If your work isn’t fulfilling, then make a move, […] nobody wins when people aren’t matched in the right team or in the right company.”
“It’s up to you to be proactive about managing your personal journey and your career […] if something is just not making you happy, don’t just live with it.”
