Quote of the day:
What does it take to change the status quo?
At the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia this year, we witnessed a ceiling-breaking moment, when in a video projected on the large screen Hillary Clintona photo montage of our previous 44 male presidents to the sound of shattering glass. She smiled at the camera, which slowly pulled back to reveal her standing"live" by satellite from New York, surrounded by a cohort including a number of little girls. I sat on my couch, with my two daughters , applauding the gimmick.
I applauded in my own living room and hoped that this was demonstrating for my daughters that anything is possible for women. Earlier in the evening, Hillary's husband, and the 42nd President, Bill Clinton, said"this woman has never been satisfied with the status quo in anything," and called her What does it take to be a change-maker? Here are pieces of advice from eight of the women I've spoken with who are changing the status quo themselves.
"I think people need to stay humble no matter how successful they get. The nice thing about being an entrepreneur is you're reminded of that every day because you fail every single day, no matter how successful your company appears on the outside. People don't really like to talk about that, or they imagine that somebody in that position doesn't fail. Actually it's not true at all. I fail literally every day, sometimes several times a day.
