Everyone Needs To Get More

There Is No Straight Path From Your Seat Today To Where You Are Going. Don't Try To Draw That Line. You Will Not Just Get It Wrong, You'll Miss Big Opportunities. And I Mean Big-like The Internet. Careers Are Not Ladders, Those Days Are Long Gone, But Jungle Gyms. Don't Just Move Up And Down, Don't Just Look Up, Look Backwards, Sideways Around Corners. Your Career And Your Life Will Have Starts And Stops And Zigs And Zags. Don't Stress Out About The White Space-the Path You Can't Draw- Because There In Lies Both The Surprises And The Opportunities.

Framing The Issue Of Work-life Balance - As If The Two Were Dramatically Opposed - Practically Ensures Work Will Lose Out. Who Would Ever Choose Work Over Life?

People Assume Wall Street Is A Certain Culture And Tech Is A Certain Culture. But If You Look At The (gender) Numbers At The Top Of (those) Industries, They Don't Vary Very Much. I Think In Finance, Women Hold 19 Percent Of The Top Jobs, And Women Are 21 Percent Of The Leaders In Nonprofits.

Don't Make Decisions Too Far In Advance, Particularly Ones You're Not Even Conscious You're Making.
