Most women who work and have a career and a family sympathise with one another because they know just how difficult it is to try and manage it all and sometimes if the pressure's too great and you can't manage something has to give and it's either your career or your family.
Quote by -Karren Brady
I think it's a very old fashioned attitude, that you've got to wear short skirts and a lot of make up to get on in life. I think most women look at that and laugh. I think those are antiquated views from a bygone age that thankfully is no longer around.
Quote by -Karren Brady
When I'm at home I'm 'Karren Peski Solido mother-of-two' when I'm at work I'm 'Karren Brady don't mess with me.'
Quote by -Karren Brady
You have to have two personalities: your home personality and your work personality and the trick really is not to allow one of those personalities to drain the life out of the other.
Quote by -Karren Brady
When you're starting your own business it's really important to think through your plan: what's the idea, why is it relevant to the market, how much money you are going to invest, how are you going to tell people about it.
Quote by -Karren Brady
I'm a hard cheese person and I could have it with biscuits for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Quote by -Karren Brady
I'm the sort of person who doesn't hear the word 'no' - I hear 'find another way to get what you want.'
Quote by -Karren Brady
The brain aneurysm I had in 2006 put things into perspective. It made me understand what was really important - to enjoy life, take more risks and stop putting things off.
Quote by -Karren Brady
I'm not going to become an MP and I'm not going to be London Mayor. I have no political ambitions.
Quote by -Karren Brady
My grandmother had a motto that you should never look down on people unless you are helping them up, and I think that's a very spiritual way of living.
Quote by -Karren Brady
I am a faithful companion of Jesus. I probably wasn't when I was 12 or 13 when I was in the convent, but I think having a spiritual side means that you live your life with an open heart, and you embrace things that are difficult, you want people to do well.
Quote by -Karren Brady
I think the term feminist is scary for women, because it means that you're extreme in some way, and I'm not extreme in any way, although I do passionately believe that a woman's role within any organisation is to assist and help other women.
Quote by -Karren Brady
I remember when I was young, I used to love hockey - I was selected to play for my county - and my dad said: 'Well, there's no money to be made in hockey,' and it put me off for ever.
Quote by -Karren Brady
I took it as my personal responsibility to be able to juggle. I didn't want anybody to help me and I didn't expect my office to make it easy for me.
Quote by -Karren Brady
Winning the BAFTA for 'Young Apprentice' felt great. It's really nice to be part of the winning team.
Quote by -Karren Brady
I'm the least vain person I know. I literally get out the shower, throw a brush through my hair, put jeans and a T-shirt on and head to the Tube and go to work most mornings. It takes seconds.
Quote by -Karren Brady
I always wear a suit jacket, a smart blouse or a top, with my hair and make-up done. Under the desk, what no one knows, is that I'm wearing jeans and trainers.
Quote by -Karren Brady
I suppose the appeal of boxing for me is seeing people do well when they have worked really hard.
Quote by -Karren Brady
As long as you like yourself, as long as your family like you, as long as you are good at what you do, your staff respect you, and your board have trust in you, that's what is important.
Quote by -Karren Brady
If I'm going to spend money, I'd rather it be on a fabulous location or food, not gambling.
Quote by -Karren Brady
I love knowing that if I was dropped off in Trafalgar Square, I could walk in any direction and see something amazing or eat something delicious.
Quote by -Karren Brady
On holiday, I don't want any plans or structure. If I want to wake up at lunchtime or have breakfast for dinner, then I will.
Quote by -Karren Brady
Though I don't have time to go to the gym, I am fit and active, and have a healthy diet.
Quote by -Karren Brady
For clubs, free movement plays a big role in transfers and players' contracts. Players from the E.U. can sign for U.K. clubs without needing a visa or special work permit, making it quicker and easier to secure top talent from across Europe to come and play in our leagues.
Quote by -Karren Brady
English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish football gains so much from being in Europe. Clubs and fans all benefit from European action, laws and funding.
Quote by -Karren Brady
The worst kind of businesses are ones where there are no expectations set out for employees.
Quote by -Karren Brady
Good managers ensure good outcomes, but great leaders can deliver a vision by getting people to work together.
Quote by -Karren Brady
It's really important that young people realise very rarely do you become an overnight success.
Quote by -Karren Brady
The only thing I wanted when I left school was independence. I had been at boarding school for many years. When you're boarding, nothing is your own and your whole day is scheduled. You're told when to sleep, what to eat and when. You have zero independence.
Quote by -Karren Brady
The most beautiful women in the world, I find, are those who have inner confidence.
Quote by -Karren Brady
I look at people like Helen Mirren, Emma Thompson, Goldie Hawn, they're the people I want to be.
Quote by -Karren Brady
It really annoys me when magazines put up these 'superwomen' with the perfect blow-dry, the perfect life - but nothing's perfect. People have a whole bunch of problems and it's how many solutions you can find to those problems as to how happy you are.
Quote by -Karren Brady
It is critical to create opportunities to identify talented women in business, then support them to develop their confidence to aim for the boardroom.
Quote by -Karren Brady
Let's face it, when is it actually ever funny to joke about hitting someone? Never, right? The threat to give someone a slap, no matter how you look at it, is aggressive.
Quote by -Karren Brady
To any man currently thinking it's not safe to say anything to women these days, allow me to offer you a rule of thumb. If you're in any doubt about something you're going to say to a woman, just ask yourself if you'd say the same thing to a man.
