we can have this conversation yes i am having tears because my emotions are involved in this incredibly important logical conversation we are human beings we have emotions and we have logic and i can think and cry at the same time and for me that was an extremely liberating moment Because in the past, I had always tried to get through the thinking situation and then go off and burst into tears.

That had happened to me when I found out at Tufts that I had passed my exams, my PhD exams, and I was going to be awarded my PhD degree. The way that the head of the department presented it to me was hateful. He said, we expected much more of you than this. And if we could give you a pass minus, we would give you a pass minus.

Although, believe me, I've known a lot of men have sat with me and cried. This gift of being able to say you can have your emotions and we can have this important logic-driven discussion at the same time was a really critical moment for me in my evolution as a professional and as a human being, to tell you the truth.

I think that just to comment on what you said, I think one of the biggest myths that we've created in the world of business is, hey, it's not personal. It's just business. Oh, yes.
