standing-out statements
I like to stand out and make a statement.
settling attractive older-women
I realized I was an attractive older woman who never wanted to settle down.

feminist goes-on term
I deplore the shying away that can go on, within women, from the term 'feminist.' I am, absolutely, all about being a feminist.

I have a low tolerance for people who complain about things but never do anything to change them. This led me to conclude that the single largest pool of untapped natural resources in this world is human good intentions that are never translated into actions.
giving advertising summit
When I give talks like the one I'm going to give at the Changing Advertising Summit, one of the points I often make to the audience is that I'm not one of those speakers who stands in front of the audience and pontificates - everything I talk about I'm actually doing myself. I'm living it.

I design my start-up ventures around my own personal beliefs and values.

People love advertising in particular but they hate advertising in general.
moving advertising
We have to move from making good advertising, to making advertising good.

our-society invisible members
I like to describe myself as a proudly visible member of the most invisible segments of our society - older women.
