Women challenge the status quo because we are never it.
Out of discomfort comes greatness.
We have to move from making good advertising, to making advertising good.
Fear of what other people will think is the single most paralyzing dynamic in business and in life. The best moment of my lifewas the day I realized that I know longer give a damn what anybody thinks. That's enormously liberating and freeing, and it's the only way to live your life and do your business.
Too many people, including the ad industry, believe the future is something that happens and just rolls them over in it's wake.
Vulnerability is a loaded word, and it can off-putting and terrifying to people. The best moment of my life (and by the way, this actually wasn’t a single moment) was when I realized that I no longer give a damn about what anybody thinks. What you'd talk about as vulnerability, I'd talk about as simply being true to yourself.
I design my start-up ventures around my own personal beliefs and values.
The single largest pool of untapped resource in this world is human good intentions that never translate into action.

I deplore the shying away that can go on, within women, from the term 'feminist.' I am, absolutely, all about being a feminist.
I like to describe myself as a proudly visible member of the most invisible segments of our society - older women.
The single biggest lesson I learned was when a hire isn't working out fire them fast. My biggest mistakes, and where I've seen the worst results, were when I gave someone too many chances, or let a situation drift on for too long because I couldn't bring myself to terminate it.
If I ran the world, I would find a way to bring the wealth of human good intentions and corporate good intentions together - to activate them collectively into shared action against shared objectives that produces shared hard, tangible results.
My personal cause and platform, if you like, is women's rights and women's issues.
I had a high-flying career. Never wanted to get married. All I wanted to do was have some fun.
I have a low tolerance for people who complain about things but never do anything to change them. This led me to conclude that the single largest pool of untapped natural resources in this world is human good intentions that are never translated into actions.

There was no active, conscious decision-making point, just a gradual realization over time that I'm very happy minus children and marriage.
When I give talks like the one I'm going to give at the Changing Advertising Summit, one of the points I often make to the audience is that I'm not one of those speakers who stands in front of the audience and pontificates - everything I talk about I'm actually doing myself. I'm living it.
I realized relatively early on that I had no desire to be a mother whatsoever. I actually love children, but specifically other people's.
