I'm a big believer in the power of social media, and the positivity that can come from that, but it requires individuals to look at it as a tool for positivity as opposed to something that is so divisive. –Laura Cox Kaplan

A person with a growth mindset looks at every experience–good, bad and otherwise–as an opportunity to learn and grow, while a person with a fixed mindset thinks that talents are innate and aren't malleable. –Laura Cox Kaplan

When you see a woman getting out of her comfort zone, say something. Send a note, comment on social media, give her praise, because it's really hard to take those risks–for women in particular. –Laura Cox Kaplan
