yeah well let's get into it what is the truth that we're going to talk about today

the truth is like how much of the problem is me at home.

I know we can get overwhelmed as working moms, and this is not to shame mothers, say the problem is you.

This is just something I've been reflecting on.

We know that societal standards need to change when it comes to policies and supporting working moms and families.

We know that attitudes need to shift in America.

We're recording this at our executive track at the Global Leadership Summit, and I know we're gonna talk about work-life balance in just a second, and you have such a unique perspective on that.

Before that, you spent time at Fannie Mae, but 17 years at JPMorgan Chase.

And, uh, you are on the board of Nike, the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, and several other boards-

Absolutely.

I mean, just hearing you speak for the limited amount of time we have so far, it's no surprise you've been voted Forbes 50 Over 50, one of Time's 100 Most Influential People.

You just talked about if you take the time to listen to your people, and you've built a wonderful culture at TIAA, and one of the things that you do every month, you listen to your employees.
