4C What every successful woman knows:

Build goals for life and see each one through. Listen to your soul’s voice, it’ll tell you what you should do. Remember, power comes from within, so trust in you first. The success that evolves will come as easily as a poet’s verse. Be brave. Stand strong. And strive to achieve. Work some. Live more. And enjoy all life has in store. Your success inspires. Your determination empowers. Your passion we admire. Your lead we follow.

Wells Fargo proudly celebrates KQED Women’s History Month. When women succeed, everybody wins.
