“Every overnight success takes 10 years. This is something that I have found true more than anything. Everything takes time, guts and perseverance. No true success story comes without battle wounds."

"You miss 100% of the chances you don’t take. Just ask. What’s the worst that can happen?"

"I wish I would have known it's okay to take risks, experiment and fail. I think as women, we're so concerned with checking all the boxes, being prepared and not ruffling feathers. I'm generalizing, but this is how most of us were conditioned from an early age. I wish I would have been more curious to try new things, and that I would have gone easier on myself. I wish I had known it's better to prioritize progress over perfection."

"It’s a marathon, not a race. You will get opportunities to keep reinventing yourself professionally and you don’t need to do the same thing throughout your career. Change is okay, in fact, I strongly recommend it!"

"What matters is how you pick yourself back up again after the setbacks and keep marching forward."

"The best way to manage your own career amidst such change is to follow your curiosity, deliver your best results in every situation and trust yourself. Don’t be afraid to take chances — that’s how you find your best self."
