You know I have been very fortunate to work in a company that has a large percentage of women. I get -- I do not if it's San Francisco Company or if it is reflection of my father and being very inclusive to very purpose oriented company, and has really strong values that we talk about.
One of those values being teamwork and so I do not know if it's just part of my DNA, but team building and being inclusive of other people and their thoughts and respectful up to me is really a key to leadership. And having people follow you is letting them feel the part of the process.
The other key, I think -- difference or important component to leadership is having passion and really caring about what you do and feeling like you are making a difference. And whether you are a man or a woman having that and having people surround you who share that passion, you can do unbelievable things. And that's really some of the disciplines or values that I have used in my own work and found successful.
And I have to say for my father the same thing. He really was passionate about to marketizing and investing. He did not like the way the Wall Street treated the average American. So he created a business that was more inclusive and helped more Americans.
And I guess in some ways I followed that, somehow again I really related to that and tried to take it to a whole different level by including or making investing more accessible for women, for disadvantage populations and others who may not have access. And it's rewarding and it makes you want to work harder.
I absolutely do think there is definitely success in the workplace. I think it's critical for women to take note of that and not work for a company that has the, that allows those kind of behaviors to occur. We do have control over that, we don't have to participate in it, and there are plenty of companies who value women and what they have to offer. As we know a diverse workplace makes a stronger company. And either you hear a lot also about women who get disenchanted with the business world and they go and create their own businesses. I say go do it. We have a lot to offer and don't let anything stop you.
