I really think we need more women to lean into their careers and to be really dedicated to staying in the work force.

If more women are in leadership roles, we'll stop assuming they shouldn't be.

Society is still adapting to women being CEOs and professionals rather than homemakers. Because of this, the unfortunate outcome is that we feel we have to be successful at both - in the office and in the home. Striking that balance is different for everyone.

I'm not saying that women shouldn't pursue careers, but if it is going to be equal in the workplace, it should certainly pan out to be a little bit more equal in the home, too.

At the BBC we've had plenty of women in good management jobs. It comes and goes but there's been plenty. On air, I think there's quite a bit more we can do.

Perhaps there is no greater issue facing contemporary women than the choices they must make about balancing home and work.

The role and importance of females in companies can make a big difference.

Women like myself, CEOs, can pave the way for more women to get to the top.

Women need to be in key operational roles where they run businesses in the organization. Sometimes when organizations focus on leadership diversity, they're mostly in areas like HR or non-operating line functions.

Men are very competent in their workplace - and this is going to sound sexist - women are better at running households and juggling lots of things, kids and scheduling and that kind of thing.
