What You Don’t Know Can Be Your

I Didn't Want Women To Walk Out Of The Dressing Rooms Feeling Depressed And Wanting A Cocktail.

When I Was Growing Up, My Dad Would Encourage My Brother And I To Fail. We Would Be Sitting At The Dinner Table And He Would Ask, 'so What Did You Guys Fail At This Week?' If We Didn't Have Something To Contribute, He Would Be Disappointed. When I Did Fail At Something, He'd High-five Me. What I Didn't Realize At The Time Was That He Was Completely Reframing My Definition Of Failure At A Young Age. To Me, Failure Means Not Trying; Failure Isn't The Outcome. If I Have To Look At Myself In The Mirror And Say, 'i Didn't Try That Because I Was Scared,' That Is Failure.

Most Of Us Want To Tell Our Coworkers Or Friends, Or Husbands Or Wives, Our Ideas. For What Reason? We Want Validation. But I Feel Ideas Are Most Vulnerable In Their Infancy. Out Of Love And Concern, Friends And Family Give All The Reasons Or Objections On Why [you] Shouldn't Do It. I Didn't Want To Risk That.

It's Really A Full-time Job To Manage Our Lives.

I Pledge To Invest In Women Because I Believe It Offers One Of The Greatest Returns On Investment. I Am Committed To The Belief That We Would All Be In A Much Better Place If Half The Human Race (women) Were Empowered To Prosper, Invent, Be Educated, Start Their Own Businesses, Run For Office Essentially Be Given The Chance To Soar.
