Quotes: “I have seen too many people in my career think that there is some natural progression to life, with certain career milestones preceding whatever you may want in your personal life. Unfortunately, life doesn’t know it is supposed to follow a schedule.” | “Women are still not reaching the most senior levels of corporations. This is not the shortcoming of women.
