Woman behind me in 1st class just asked for a Sauvignon Blanc. But @Delta is still stuck on Chardonnay. Decades behind the white wine our population prefers. Please adapt to your customer feedback !
When a man speaks assertively, people trust him: he's confident. When a woman does it, men dislike her: she's a bitch.
It’s outrageous that women have to tame their tongues to protect fragile egos.
Don't punish women for challenging stereotypes. Challenge the stereotypes.

@Gilt service fail. You sent a smaller sized piece of art & I offered to keep it if the price was adjusted to reflect what I actually received vs paid for. I sent photos. I tried three times to get this resolved to no avail. Membership cancelled.
"It is literally impossible to be a woman.
You are very beautiful and very smart... and it breaks my soul that you think you're not good enough, like we're always supposed to be extraordinary, but somehow we're always doing it wrong.
We have to be skinny, but not too much and you must not say you want to be skinny. You must say you want a healthy weight, but also… YES you have to be skinny.
You must have money, but you can’t ask for money because that would be rude.
You gotta be a boss, but you can't be tough. You must lead, but you cannot crush other people’s ideas.
You’re supposed to love being a mom, but you don’t talk about your kids all the time.
You have to be a professional, but also always take care of everyone else.
You are responsible for men’s misbehavior, WHICH IS CRAZY, but if you notice that, you’re accused of being a whine.
You're expected to keep yourself pretty for men, but not so pretty you 'try them too much' or threaten other women… because you're supposed to be part of the sorority.
You must always stand out and always be very grateful… but never forget the system is fixed, so find how to acknowledge it but remember to be grateful.
You must never grow old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never stumble, never fail or show fear and, of course, you must never be sassy.
It's very hard, it's too contradictory and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you. And it turns out, in fact, that not only are you doing everything WRONG, but also, everything that happens is YOUR FAULT.
I'm tired of seeing myself and every woman doing the impossible for others to love us."

Bosses who insult and intimidate don't get results. They leave people scarred.
Data: when NBA players have abusive coaches, they play more poorly for the rest of their careers—and commit more technical fouls.
Weak leaders make people weaker. Strong leaders make people stronger.
Acts of kindness that feel small to us have a big impact on others.
Research: kids and adults underestimate how tiny acts of generosity lift others' moods.
There's no easier way to make someone's day than to offer a compliment, give a little gift, or send a handwritten note.
"Don't argue with the boss" is not a demand for respect. It's a sign of a fragile ego.
Insecure leaders silence dissent to shield their self-esteem and save face. Secure leaders welcome critiques to improve their judgment.
Being open to challenges is a prerequisite for growth.
When we hire from the outside, we pay more to get less.
Despite costing more, external hires perform worse and quit more. Promoting from within fuels individual growth and collective success.
If there are never strong internal candidates, we've failed at leadership development.
