“
Peter Stubbs and Dianne Dunleavy,
weekend radio Melbourne 3AW, FEB 2016
It's odd that people need to bring up the
fact we are male and female.
Neither of us judge people according to their
gender but we have sometimes been treated that
way. I have had meetings with management
where I was the focus of the discussion but
management directed all the comments to
Grubby. I was invisible. If there are complaints
about something said on our show they are
usually about me – even though it might not have
been me who made the remarks”
“One of the greatest
discoveries you can
make, is to understand
how fear can hold
you back…..
PASTARE YOU COURAGEOUS ENOUGH
TO ABANDON THE PAST?
Warren Buffet is bullish on women
We’ve seen what can be
accomplished when we use 50
per cent of our human capacity.
If you visualise what 100 per
cent can do, you’ll join me as an
unbridled optimist.
Warren Buffet ,
Fortune Magazine May 20, 2013
“
Women should never forget
that it is common for powerful
and seemingly self-assured
males to have more than a bit
of the Wizard of Oz in them.
Pull the curtain aside, and
you'll often discover they are
not supermen after all. (Just
ask their wives!)
Fortune Magazine May 20, 2013
