Look at an interview as an organic part of building a relationship.

Our members are constantly telling us that the guidance they received from Levo's mentors has helped them negotiate a raise, ask for more responsibility, build their resume, and more.

Men are much more likely to make sure the boss knows they were in the office until midnight. But women tend to avoid seeking that kind of acknowledgement for their work. They just assume that the boss knows - but the boss usually doesn't. I experienced that firsthand.

After graduation, I discovered that I'd hit the limit of what I could learn from the women in my family. On top of that, in the workforce, all of the things that mattered in college suddenly weren't enough.

The issue of women in the workplace is not a women's issue: it's an economic problem.

There's this huge taboo around talking about money that we have as a society.

Levo is Latin for 'to polish' and 'elevate,' and the name is essentially connoting the fact that we are coming together as a community to mutually enhance each other's lives.

I really believe that cultivating creativity, as a general principle, is about managing your energy.

The busier you get, and the more forward-looking you become, the more difficult it is to actually acknowledge and gain strength and inspiration from the things you've already accomplished, which can become problematic when you're in a startup.

Ultimately, nobody can decide for you that it's the right moment to quit your job, just like nobody can decide for you that it's the right moment to fall in or out of love.

I first began to realize that it was time to leave my job when the sight of my manager's telephone number on my screen made my heart contract and burn.

The way in which you accomplish your goals and help your customers needs to be very flexible depending upon how those customers are reacting in real time.

Learning to ask is like flexing a muscle. The more you do it, the easier it becomes. I started by learning how to ask for the small things in my life, and eventually I could make the Big Daunting Asks.

I assumed that, if I put my head down and did great work, what I deserved would come to me. What you deserve will not come to you. It is only in advocating for yourself that you will receive what you deserve.

It's a must to continually stay alert and aware because ideas come from everywhere. And beyond relying on your fine-tuned radar to pick up on the next inspiration, consider seeking mentors.

Trust me: Every entrepreneur has felt like an utter loser at some point.

Collaboration is like carbonation for fresh ideas. Working together bubbles up ideas you would not have come up with solo, which gets you further faster.

As CEO of Levo, a millennial-focused career platform, I'm fascinated by how others turn their passion into success.

You kind of get the same adjectives coming back over again and over again describing millennials. I think the national rhetoric around this generation is unfairly negative.

I would encourage women to think about leaders in different fields or companies who they can draw parallels with. For example, I am constantly studying the lives and lessons of leaders in fields outside of technology, from the arts to politics. There is always something to learn.

Speaking personally, as a first-time female founder, I would not be where I am today without an incredible network of fellow founders who have shared their challenges, advice, and hacks with me.

The power of storytelling - of elevating the voices and examples of incredible leaders who have overcome odd after odd - remains absolute.

You thrive in your career when you thrive with yourself.

I used to think I was a night owl. I realized I'm not, because I have energy at night, but I'm not as focused and productive when I try to get things done.
