Young professionals shouldn't have to let a fear of failure hold them back; they should feel emboldened to take on challenges in creative ways.

Seek out a personal coach or mentor in the workplace. He/she should push you when you need it by encouraging and motivating you. Don't be afraid of their honesty.

In an age of exponential change, we need the power of diverse thinking, and we cannot afford to leave any talent untapped.

There is a premium on innovation and commercializing new ideas.

I prioritize people over tasks.

The simple truth is that every veteran has his or her own unique story, and there's no single narrative about the issue of veterans finding civilian employment. And no single solution.

The advice I give, no matter male or female, is not being afraid to step outside your comfort zone and think more long-term about your career than maybe the next year.

You cannot be insightful if you're deluged with information.

The fundamentals of your business are like free throws: emphasize and practice them to perfection.

When people are your greatest asset, like at Deloitte, investments in human capital should be considered in the same way other companies might invest significantly in product R&D.

The innovation of our workplace is key to the development of innovative solutions that address the evolving complex challenges of our clients.

Accelerating technology innovations such as ubiquitous sensors, cheap computing power, and 5G networks will open entirely new opportunities and challenges.

That is the culture at Deloitte: To make sure we are all maximizing the capabilities that we have.

Our goal is to set the gold standard when it comes to compliance.

I didn't aspire to be the CEO of Deloitte, but I aspired to be a leader in Deloitte.

Behind every great athlete is a masterful coach that inspires the athlete to evolve into the strongest performer they can become.

Being pregnant has all kinds of advantages. People keep telling you how beautiful you look. They do it over and over. Very sweet of them, but it is just not true. I've seen myself before, and I've definitely looked better.

I love participatory media, collective knowledge systems, user-generated content and the like, and spent much of my life and career participating in them and making them.

On Etsy, you can't resell new goods you weren't involved in making, whereas on eBay and Amazon, that is more than welcome - everything from dishwashers to XBoxes, curling irons, espresso machines, and metal detectors.

Etsy is fundamentally a creative community. On eBay, or Amazon for that matter, practically anyone can sell practically anything. On Etsy, you can only sell handmade goods, vintage goods over 20 years old, and craft supplies for making.

Etsy radically simplified and amended their policies. Sellers of handmade goods can now hire as much help as they need to run their shops. They can apply to sell designs they produce with the help of outside businesses.

Etsy helps work be more human - you can stay at home and work alongside your kids - and it makes commerce more personal.

The Well taught us how to create a civilized space for debate, speak in our own voices, use our real names, mediate flame wars, and boot trolls. Brand's mantra was, 'You own your own words,' meaning you have the right to say your piece but must also take responsibility for what you say.

My favorite online communities are characterized by their incredible generosity.
