The mindset that would help me and other women is coming prepared, being humble enough to say what we don’t know and what we know and, if we know certain things, then having enough confidence to show our abilities

It’s really about surrounding myself with people who are better than me, smarter than me, faster than me, and having the humility to learn from everybody around us
