The Young Women's Leadership Conference recently hosted over 120 young women in DC. The opening session, titled “Mapping out out your journey: missteps to big leaps,” was an hour of one inspirational quote after the next. Five remarkable women discussed their journeys and what they’ve learned from their mistakes.
Finding the light
“The greatest experiences can be the worst experiences. Those are the ones we grow from the most. Allow yourself to morn loss so you can move forward.” – Rebecca Alexander, author and therapist
“Face reality, do the tough things.” – Abby Greensfelder, Co-CEO/Executive Producer, Half Yard Productions
Insecurity
“Take queues from 5 people around you who are a little ahead of you that you are inspired by” - Rabbi Sherre Hirsch, author and rabbi
Financial responsibility
“We placed value on the working dollar.” – Nicole Feld, Executive Vice President, Feld Entertainment, Inc.
“Humility and grit are the most important part of financial responsibility. There’s nothing you can’t do, and there’s nothing you’re too good to do.” – Rabbi Sherre Hirsch
Life through a Jewish lens
“The goal is not to be happy. Your job it to leave the world a better place. Happiness is a by product.” – Rabbi Sherre Hirsch
Overcoming obstacles
“Life is a constant cycle of change. Be proactive and hold yourself accountable.” – Rebecca Alexander
“When things get tough, it seems like options close down. But embrace the imperfection. Be authentic, grow.” – Abby Greensfelder
“Be grateful for what you have in the moment.” – Nicole Feld
“You will get through it, but don’t expect it to happen immediately. It will take hard work, don’t give up.” – Toby Graff, Senior VP for Corporate Social Responsibility, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment
