Our BTA Fellow Sofia attended the Move the Dial Global Summit today, and heard from some of the world’s most influential women. She’s collected a few of her favourite quotes from their talks as well as snapshots of them, below.
“We have to work harder and stand out more.”
Kathleen Taylor, Chair of the Board at RBC
“I am not bossy. I’m the boss!”
Rola Dagher, President of Cisco Canada
“Right now I feel like our humanity, collectively, is on life support.”
Angelica Ross, Actor, philanthropist, writer, producer & human rights advocate.
“I think the biggest piece of advice is like if you want to start a business, you should just start now. There’s no perfect time. There’s no perfect idea. It is only founders that are lying to you that said, You know, I had one eureka moment and I knew this innovation was going to change the world. Like, that’s total bullshit. You have good ideas industries that are working, but you have no idea if that first iteration is going to make it and so the people that are waiting for some sign or some signal or some perfect thing. It’s not going to happen.”
Michele Romanow, Co-Founder & President of Clearbanc #MoveTheDial Global Summit 2019
