You have six math Ph.D. Caucasian gentlemen from the Northeast of the country, great. You put one more in the mix, you haven't added much. It's only when you add something different that you really are able to accomplish more.
Women tend to collaborate, in my experience, more easily than gentlemen do.
I can tell you that my experience has been that the gentlemen are more likely to come and ask for the order, ask for the raise, ask for the promotion, and that the women are less likely to do so.
I was lucky. My children didn't have health issues, didn't have big school problems, etc. And as I watched some of my peers go through this, you can see how quickly a family can get derailed when they are not lucky.
I had very good bosses, very good companies for which I worked. I worked in industries where the results really mattered; it wasn't the perception of results, it was just the facts.
In our corporate culture, because someone may have to take some flexibility because of family issues, somehow we continue to believe they aren't fully dedicated.
Something happens in the middle when women are in their 30s, and we can start with an array of things that happen, whether it is - you hope this doesn't exist any longer - but overt discrimination; whether it's subtle gender discrimination, which absolutely does exist among men and women; whether it's the fact that it gets hard to juggle at that point children, housework, etc. But people still have to go home and cook the dinner and clean the dishes and get the beds made and so on. And so, for a whole bunch of reasons, women tend to fall out in their 30s still today.
When I started on Wall Street, there was pretty good diversity in those junior ranks. And you know what? It hasn't made it to the top.
As we work together and pool our resources, there's room for everyone to be successful.
I prefer the word "engagement." Instead of empowerment, it's enabling women to engage in business.
If a woman was successful, she wasn't helping other women.
Emerging investors want to invest differently. They want to have their dollars - their investment dollars - do double duty.
Greater diversity drives better business results.
I love what's going on these days with these powerful women who are really working to make a difference.
Companies that put a mandated parental leave in place save money in the first year, FIRST YEAR. Because they don't have to hire to replace the woman.
How about mandated parental leave.? Oh, okay. Less than 20% of companies in America have it. Most of them think about it as an expense. What's the bigger expense? The bigger expense occurs if women have babies and don't come back to work.
Technology is going to play an increasingly, increasingly, increasingly important role in every industry. And it's good.
The truth is, if you are a woman saving 10% of your income for retirement, and you put it in the bank account, your chances of retiring well - living on 90% of your pre-retirement income for your full life - is 0%.
A computer can have so much more in its brain that a human can.
Women tend to very much, very much think of money as a means to an end, not as an end in itself.
I think that indicates why men tend to invest more wealth. If he loses some, there's more coming in. Whereas for women, it's like "Ugh, I gotta keep this."
When you speak to a man or a woman about money, they will use water visualizations. For men, it typically is a river. Money comes in; money goes out. The level rises; the level sinks. For women, when you talk about money, to her... it's a pond. It's a set amount. She husbands it, and it typically goes in one direction... which is down.
I want to buy a house. I want to retire well. I want to have baby.
We don't recognize the power of compounding.
If a woman is making $85,000 a year, putting aside 20% of her income, putting it in a bank, earning very little...Over the course of her life vs. investing, this can cost her $1.5 million, $2 million, $2.5 million. Life changing amounts.
