Memorable Moments: 

  • 0.00 Once you overcome your villains, it really opens up that door for positive people, positive opportunities, and blessings, like you said, to start showing up.
  • 4:35 Me dimming my light didn't ignite hers. Me playing small didn't make her feel better. In fact, she gained in strength and treated me worse.
  • 6:40 I'm a smart woman, Bank of America's executives have personal-facing brands. Huge companies in the U.S are doing this. Sheryl Sandberg, the President of Facebook has a personal brand. Why can't Heather Monahan, the chief revenue officer of a media company?
  • 10:58 I will always be proud that I'm the woman who will be at her death bed saying, "Yeah, my first book has three mistakes in it, and I am so flipping proud it's out there." Done will always be better than perfect in my life.
  • 12:41 It's my job and duty in the world to make the world a brighter place, a better place, and if I'm going to withhold information and not do it, that's selfish and crappy.
  • 16:58 it's like practicing anything. The amount of frequency of doing something to truly become an expert, you've got to put that practice in and just get up and do it.
  • 18:39 A lot of people in your life love you and they want to protect you, but they're going to project their self-limiting beliefs on you. It's up to you to accept that, or thank them for it and hand it back to them.
