I think the term feminist is scary for women, because it means that you're extreme in some way, and I'm not extreme in any way, although I do passionately believe that a woman's role within any organisation is to assist and help other women.

It is critical to create opportunities to identify talented women in business, then support them to develop their confidence to aim for the boardroom.

Too many women don't see themselves in senior leadership and so don't push themselves to advance their careers as their male peer group do.

If I can encourage other women to think about setting up their own businesses and being entrepreneurs and making a contribution then I think that's a good thing.

We need the kind of leadership exemplified by President Kennedy to just do it! But we must do it as good stewards, aggressively exerting control over the moon. We can best do this by going there.

Much responsibility rests upon the shoulders of the song leader; it is not infrequently within his power to make or break a meeting.

What I tell women who want to get on corporate boards is to get connected! Do volunteer work, network in business, join community organization where you can demonstrate your leadership capabilities and other people can see your skills being applied.

We are strong country with weak leadership.
