My family immigrated from Korea when I was four years old, and when I started school, I didn't speak English. I remember that other kids would blame everything bad that happened in kindergarten on me - I spent a lot of time in the corner because I literally didn't have the words to explain that it wasn't me!

I now look at the things I could have done better and instead of beating myself up about it, since I can't turn back time, I try to remember to ask myself, what was this experience sent to me to teach me? I think specifically about what I will do better next time, then I actively look for moments to practice for the next time.

As a woman leader, I try to take every opportunity I can to do what my mentors did for me - engaging with young women and take them seriously.

Women in business, women in employment anywhere face a very different set of challenges than their male counterparts.

My best advice to working women is just try what you think right now will be best for you and your family - and if it doesn't work, then change it. And look for ways to cut corners to add to your sanity.

The most important part of my mental self-care is knowing who to call for what kinds of help.

When I think about work-life balance, I don't imagine it as a perfect day where I got to spend the exact right amount of time having an impact at work and snuggling with my kids at home. I never achieve that. But over the course of a month, or a quarter, or a year, I try to make time for the people and experiences I value.

The thing that I've learned about taking risks is that the key question to ask is, If this goes terribly, what will happen? Usually, the answer is that the world won't come to a screeching halt. Usually you can go back. Maybe not to the exact same job, but usually to the same type of job.
