"It takes a village and an army. What I'm really, really good at is knowing what my superpowers are, but I also know that I don't know everything. I'm better because I look for other people that are experts and have something unique to bring to a situation."
"You can't get those things if you're hiding behind politeness or what I call 'soft ambition.' There are so many unwritten rules that condition women to avoid behaviors that create wealth, visibility, and leadership."
"This book is ultimately about self-leadership. It's about understanding when fear or guilt is shaping your decisions, understanding how to work through those emotions, and creating a vision for your life that isn't dictated by them."
Emma Grede emphasizes that success is rooted in collaboration and understanding one's strengths. Her book, Start With Yourself, encourages women to confront societal expectations and embrace self-leadership. Grede rejects perfectionism and the notion that women must meet everyone's needs. She advocates for ambitious women to overcome fear and guilt, creating a personal vision that prioritizes their own desires and ambitions. The journey begins with self-awareness and the rejection of 'soft ambition' to achieve power and visibility.
