Quote by -Julie Sweet
I think people underrate the importance of investing in your communication skills as a way to progress in your career.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
My parents believed in the American dream and the power of education, but didn't have the money to send me to college. I realized early on that I needed to go against the flow and be better than everyone else to support my family.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
Digital disruption has blurred industry lines. You have industry convergence. You have cross-industry platforms. And you have CEOs who are benchmarking the best, regardless of industry.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
What motivates me has changed over time. My younger self was driven by the desire to be extremely successful.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
My mom was a beautician in her early days, and then my parents decided that one of them needed to go to school in order to build the future. So my mom started going to college when I was in eighth grade, and she graduated when I was a freshman in college.
Quote by -Julie Sweet

Quote by -Julie Sweet
If you aspire to senior leadership, you're going to have to work hard. That doesn't mean you have to give up everything.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
I think there is a general view that sustainability is really important. I do think it is a top priority. I don't know that it's the top priority.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
People who come to Accenture want to be part of collaborative teams that are interesting and diverse. We think it's actually a real differentiator as we try to get people to come join us.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
Through our Building Bridges dialogues at Accenture, where we have brought together people from diverse backgrounds to have sometimes difficult conversations, such as around race, I have experienced the power of storytelling to help people from diverse backgrounds understand each other.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
It takes work to figure out how to bank on your phone, how to sign up for classes, how to connect in a community.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
When you come into a role, there seems to be just a ton of different places you can make an impact. But it's critical in that first year to be seen to be a leader that can actually accomplish things and has a sense of priorities.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
This goes to show how much of an impact culture has. Even in countries where online access is readily available, there may not be the same expectation for women.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
While men and women alike are liberated by the balance that work flexibility affords, women appear to derive greater value from it.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
It's important to reflect upon how far we've come in achieving gender equality in the workplace and how we could move faster toward even greater goals.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
We don't always talk about that as a leadership quality. I think what's really important is having empathy, understanding the experiences of how someone is going to experience what you have to say.
Quote by -Julie Sweet

Quote by -Julie Sweet

For large companies, they are looking at 2020 as the decade of delivery on the promise of digital and technology.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
In fact, blockchain has the potential to fundamentally change how we share information, buy and sell things, interact with government, prove our identity, and even verify the authenticity of everything - from the food we eat to the medicine we take to who we say we are.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
There are three things that I have found were really critical in my first year: listening, prioritizing, and communicating. I don't think they're different for women. It's really about that first year as a CEO.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
Digital is really two things. It refers to a set of technologies, everything from artificial intelligence to the use of e-commerce. But digital is really about a different way of working, of making decisions, of partnering and reaching your clients, and so it's also about how you do things.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
What's maybe being underestimated is that in every country in the world, there is innovation.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
A lot of the values of millennials are shared by all of our generations. Who doesn't want purpose, feedback and balance?
Quote by -Julie Sweet
I'm driven by making an impact on the individuals I interact with and leveraging my success to give back to the world.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
An employee, even a very junior person, if they can articulately summarize a meeting, if they can put together a presentation and even emails that are really salient and to the point, they are so valued.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
We're supposed to be bringing out-of-the-box thinking and innovation, and you cannot do that unless you've got diversity... It's everything from gender to ethnicity to geographic diversity.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
Blockchain is moving beyond cryptocurrency, and it's worth paying attention - especially since successful prototypes show that blockchain, also known as distributed ledger technology, will be transformative.
Quote by -Julie Sweet
We believe that creating an inclusive and diverse environment is not only the right thing to do, but it also makes our company stronger, smarter, and more innovative - which helps us better serve the needs of our clients, our people, and our communities.
