We're all drowning in data. We all need moments of recovery. For me, that includes not going right to my phone when I wake up in the morning.

I prioritize people over tasks.

Golf instills incredible values, including collaboration, competitiveness, and integrity.

To be sure, technology will change what we do. Tasks that are highly manual, routine, and predictable will be automated. But jobs are made up of many tasks. So the nature of existing jobs will change, and new careers will be created.

Consider one possible future that could occur soon, where autonomous trucks travel highways with a human 'monitor' in the cab who can assist with particularly challenging driving like navigating city centres and ensure goods are delivered safely.

When you build your network, keep yourself open to new ideas, concepts, and theories. Some of them may even contradict and challenge long-held points of view. This isn't beneficial only to someone in my profession, but to every line of work.

Technological advances are changing what clients need, the services we provide, and how we interact with them.

As you think about the workforce of the future, women and minorities are such an important part of that future.

As companies deal with the impact of technology and the incredible pace of change, they are fundamentally rethinking talent and family leave programs.

Our goal is to set the gold standard when it comes to compliance.

Over the years, I paid careful attention in client meetings and jotted down things that quite didn't make sense. And I had the courage to raise questions and to be skeptical when something didn't add up.

You don't have to be the biggest, the strongest, or the most talented player to be successful, but you do need to be a step ahead of the competition.

Accelerating technology innovations such as ubiquitous sensors, cheap computing power, and 5G networks will open entirely new opportunities and challenges.

My confidence came from always needing to compete.

I'm deeply honored to lead Deloitte. I look forward to collaborating with all our people to continue to lead our profession in quality and innovation. Together, we make an impact that matters every day for our clients, the capital markets, communities, and society.

Behind every great athlete is a masterful coach that inspires the athlete to evolve into the strongest performer they can become.

Being the first female CEO of one of the Big Four, I certainly intend to pay it forward.

The biggest barrier for women is the thought that they can't have it all.

I was a Division I college athlete, and I grew up with five brothers and two sisters. I've always been a competitor.

Mentors and sponsors, particularly in the early stages of my career, were invaluable to me because they encouraged me to raise my hand and take opportunities to build my capabilities.

The fundamentals of your business are like free throws: emphasize and practice them to perfection.

The innovation of our workplace is key to the development of innovative solutions that address the evolving complex challenges of our clients.

We have to not be afraid to say no.

Games are often won or lost on the free-throw line. This isn't about slick moves or great skills. It's about practice, muscle memory, and being able to keep a cool head under pressure.

You never know where your career will take you. A competitor in the market could suddenly become an unlikely partner. Be flexible, keep your slate clean, and stay open to unlikely collaborations.
