Topics discussed in this episode:

Career advice   

• Success is not a place, it's not a destination. It’s really a well rounded vibe.
• A career maven is someone who really takes ownership of her career story and is charting her own path.
• We need to shake the patriarchal dust off and really create the workplace and the work community that we want to see. 

Standing out on social media 

• People absolutely need to be on LinkedIn, that’s where professional people are.
• Let your LinkedIn profile reflect who you are as a professional, I like to believe that we are a lot more than whatever our day job may be.
• Be socially generous, respond and amplify the work of others.

Working from home 

• Just take a beat and make sure that your next step is your best step.
• Real agency is having the option to have both a career and a family rather than choose.
• I can still hit my deliverables and not hold up a desk chair for eight hours. No one needs to do that.
