Fantastic video from Carly Fiorna, the previous female CEO of Hewlett Packard. This is a great discussion around what it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur and how we can use our fears and risk taking to create momentum.

Carleton S. (Carly) Fiorina was president and chief executive officer of Hewlett-Packard Company from 1999 to 2005. She served as chairman of the board from 2000 to 2005.Prior to joining HP, Fiorina spent nearly 20 years at AT&T and Lucent Technologies, where she held a number of senior leadership positions and directed Lucent’s initial public offering and subsequent spin-off from AT&T.

Fiorina was named an honorary fellow of the London Business School in July 2001. In 2002, she was honored with the Appeal of Conscience Award, and in 2003 she received the Concern Worldwide “Seeds of Hope” Award in recognition of her worldwide efforts to make global citizenship a priority for business.
