My Key Takeaways:
1) Leadership is a Journey, and Women Have a Place at the Table
Laurie shared how being one of the few women in leadership motivated her to push for gender equity. Her belief in empowering others is a lesson to girls on how we can lead in the future—whether by making bold decisions now or mentoring others later on.
2) Success is Built on Hard Work and Lifelong Learning
Laurie’s story reinforced that education is an ongoing journey. There’s always more to learn. As girls prepare for their futures, this mindset of continual growth feels like a guide to navigating college and beyond.
3) Take Risks, Even When It’s Scary
Laurie’s encouragement to take risks struck a chord with me. She reminds young girls that playing it safe might limit what’s possible and that trying new things—whether applying to ambitious colleges or exploring unfamiliar opportunities—can lead to incredible rewards.
