"Women bring a tremendous amount of difference to organizations at senior levels, at all levels have to accommodate the differences. Last time I checked, women were the only ones that could give birth till that changes and young women leave their career at a critical point to have children, organizations are going to have to adjust accordingly. It doesn't mean that their commitment to their job is any different. It just means that they have a broader list of priorities perhaps than their male colleagues. They bring a tremendous amount to an organization. They bring empathy. They look at strategy differently than their white, anglosax and male colleagues. And it's not just women. It's diversity in general."

"The work I'm doing right now it's around diversity and inclusiveness. And in doing this work I've grown to sort of understand what my values are and how the values of an organization or an individual's values determine their actions that they take in different circumstances. And I've started using this pyramid whereby you've got behaviors, attitudes and values. Behaviors you can change, you can mandate that. You can teach people will be adjust to that attitudes. It's a lot more difficult to get because that's how a person functions within their framework and the job that they do, their work ethic, their approach to business. You can teach them that as well. Values you can't change."
