@pitbull We are excited to see you tonight in Camden. Your music has helped my 16 yr old Ellie so much through her many surgeries and recoveries. Doctors always comment that she has the best and most unlikely music in the hospital. We are coming for you!

Simone Biles was the last keynote @PennWomen. Biles shared that she was prepared for lash back after stepping back from the 2021 Summer Olympics but instead got a wave of support. "I made the right decision. You're more than medals."

[Quinn Bryner @QBryner]

Key consideration for all leaders - empathy. Everyone has a story. Everyone has stress. Everyone has something. Lead first with that reality says @simonsinek during @PennWomen #PennWomen

[Colleen Mook @ColleenMook]

Real leadership is the awesome responsibility to take care of people around you. Picking up the phone and asking, “Are you okay?” @simonsinek #leadership #PennWomen

“I despise the term soft skills. It sounds less important. There are hard skills and human skills.” @simonsinek @RachanaBhide @PennWomen #PennWomen

“We barely teach #leadership in our business schools. We need to teach: listening, feedback, hard conversations, confrontation, empathy. We get managers bc we teach management but we don’t get leadership. We need to teach hard skills and human skill)@simonsinek #PennWomen

[Colleen Mook @ColleenMook]

Leaders have to learn to ask for help and to create an environment that it is safe for your people to ask for help. #leadership @simonsinek #pennwomen

[Colleen Mook @ColleenMook]

Leaders that have practiced empathy, listening and humanity have done better during these harder times. @simonsinek #pennwomen

[Colleen Mook @ColleenMook]

Leaders have a lot on their plates right now: Covid, telecommuting, DEI, The Great Resignation, political stances. @simonsinek #PennWomen

We need to stop whispering and tip-toeing around discussing mental illness. Glenn Close discussing #mentalillness at #pennwomen

[Colleen Mook @ColleenMook]

Vigilance & kindness matters and asking the question, “Are you okay?” And if you think they are not ok, keep asking that question. We need to embrace that fear and overcome it. We can talk about mental illness like we talk about cancer. Glenn Close

Glenn Close shares mental illness is a global family affair. 1/4 of us are suffering from mental illness. #mentalhealth @PennWomen #pennwomen

[Andi Perelman @AndiPerelman]

An important lesson from @Lavernecox at today's #PennWomen conference: "There was a narrative in my head that I had to work 4-times as hard as everyone else. That narrative is exhausting. There is a difference between perfectionism and healthy striving."

[Colleen Mook @ColleenMook]

Great question to ask yourself, “What else is true?” @Lavernecox #PennWomen

[Colleen Mook @ColleenMook]

“Don’t let anyone should on you and don’t should on yourself!” @noraborealis #pennwomen

[Colleen Mook @ColleenMook]

Such a heartbreaking reality, but as @noraborealis says, "We don’t 'move on' from grief. We move forward with it." #PennWomen
