Go For It...Susane Colasanti

“And I just think that if you believe in something and you want it so much and you're not hurting anyone else, you have to go for it. Which sometimes means taking a risk, even if it's scary. But the thing you want most to happen doesn't stand a chance unless you give it one.”

Teaching Leadership To Girls...Rachel Simmons

"You don't learn how to say 'hey, I have a problem,' but you also don't learn how to hear it. There's a total breakdown of how females talk to one another. It's very disconcerting for leadership because it means you don't talk to each other; you talk about each other."  

--Rachel Simmons, Author, Educator and Coach

Teach Her How To Face Risk...Rachel Simmons

If you give a ten-year old girl the skills to tell her friend to stop bossing her around, you begin helping her flex the muscles that she will need to ask for something difficult in the workplace years down the road. If you give a 13 year old girl...the courage, the access to the courage to walk past those friends, she starts building the skills set she will need to face risk.
