9月5日(星期一)

Good afternoon everyone. I can't tell you how honored I am to be here with you

to talk about my thoughts on leadership and to share my experiences as one of only a handful of women today running a major global corporation.

各位下午好!能來到這里和大家探討針對領導力的認識,并分享作為目前管理著一家大型跨國企業的為數不多的女性所走過的歷程,我感到無比榮幸。

As I look out at all of you .... some at the beginning stages of your careers....some well along the road to your future.... 我注視著你們大家,你們中間有些人正處在職業生涯的起點,有些人已經在通向未來的道路上前進了,

wherever you are on your own personal path I can promise you a world of opportunity and excitement. 不管你在自己的道路上走了多遠,我向你們保證,前面有無數的機遇和令人興奮的事物。

Anything you choose to do is within your reach. 無論你們想做什么樣的事業,你們都可以做得很出色。

How far you go will depend on how high you set your dreams and how hard you work to achieve them. 你們的夢想有多大,你們就能走多遠;你們為夢想付出得越多,你們就會越成功。

But whatever path you take, the foundation provided by a good education will make success come that much easier, I promise you.? 但無論你們選擇哪條路,我保證,有良好的教育背景作為基礎,成功會來得更容易。

9月6日(星期二)

I have shared my experiences on leadership with many different groups of people all over the world. 我曾和來自全世界不同的人群分享過我的經歷。

But being here in the country where my parents and grandparents were born—

a country to which I continue to feel strong emotional and intellectual ties—is an enormous privilege and a dream comes true.? 但是在這個我祖父母和父母出生的國度,這個我一直被強烈的情感和文化所維系的國度,能同各位分享我的成功感受,是我極大的榮幸,也圓了我的一個夢。

I consider myself a relatively recent member of a new generation of business leaders faced with a dizzying pace of change and a global economic and political environment that are redefined by the day in this tumultuous 21st century. 我認為自己屬于相對新一代的商業領導者,我們面對的是令人目眩的變化節奏,

以及被充滿動蕩的21世紀重新定義的全球經濟和政治環境。

9月7日(星期三)

I was offered the job as CEO of Avon four years ago,? and it has certainly been an experience of a lifetime for me ever since. 四年前我被任命為雅芳集團的首席執行官,從那個時候起開始了我一生難得的經歷。

We've had a spectacular success, modernizing everything about the company from top to bottom.? 我們取得了令人矚目的成功,全方位將整個公司推向現代化。

With sales this year that will top $6.7 billion USD and a stock price which is at an all-time high, we've certainly had some incredible results. 我們今年的銷售額將達67億美元,股票價格達到了歷史新高,我們的確取得了驕人的成績。

Avon has been named one of Fortune magazine's most admired companies and we've made Business Week's list of the world's most valuable brands for three years in a row. 雅芳被《財富》雜志評為最令人敬佩的公司之一,并連續三年被《商業周刊》評為全球最有價值的品牌之一。

9月8日(星期四)

Today, Avon is proudly known as "The Company for Women" in every country in which we do business. 今天,在所有銷售雅芳產品的國家,我們很自豪地被公認為“比女人更了解女人的公司”。

And our ability to provide women with both quality products and a significant earnings opportunity has become an important competitive advantage. 為女性用戶停供優質產品和有可觀收入的創業機遇成為我們的一個重要競爭優勢。

It is one of the reasons our business in China has grown so rapidly right from the start. 這也是我們在中國業務一開始就高速發展的原因之一。

Going forward, our strategy for Avon recognizes China as the number one market in the world for future expansion, reflecting our strong commitment to bring new business opportunities to entrepreneurial women in every corner of this great country.? 展望未來,雅芳的戰略是把中國作為全球第一的市場進行拓展,這一戰略也體現了我們的堅定承諾,即為身處這個偉大國家的所有具有企業家精神的女性同胞帶來機遇。

As I look back to all that we have accomplished over the past decade and particularly over the past four years, it has been a real period of breakout success for our company .... breathtaking, but also exhausting. 過去十年尤其是最近四年,無疑是雅芳獲得突破性成功的階段, 回首這一階段,既波瀾壯闊又充滿坎坷。

9月9日(星期五)

The roller coaster ride has opened my eyes to many things....about the increasingly complex demands of running a business today,? about my own competencies and the need to constantly challenge and renew my own commitment to being a better leader. 猶如乘坐過山車一樣的感覺令我見識了很多有關當今經營企業所面臨的復雜的要求, 關乎我自身能力和不斷挑戰自己的需要,以及要做一名更優秀的領導者需要不斷更新的自我期望。

the roller coaster ride has opened my eyes to many things? about the increasingly complex demands of running a business today, about my own competencies and the need to constantly challenge and renew my own commitment to being a better leader.

I had no idea at the moment I became CEO that I would experience such great fortune and such great challenge both at the same time....and how enormously my life would change as a result.? 剛成為首席執行官的時候,我從未想到我會如此幸運但同時又面臨這么大的挑戰,也從未想到這會給我的生活帶來如此大的變化。

I had no idea at the moment I become ceo? that I would experience such great fortune and such great challenge both at the same time and how enormously my life woule change as a result.

No idea what privilege, yet what responsibility comes with being the first woman to lead the company, to be constantly scrutinized as one of less than a handful of women CEOs today—what it would be like to balance my Chinese cultural background—what the responsibilities of the office would entail in this unparalleled environment. 我不知道作為領導這家公司的第一位女性意味著怎樣的特殊性和責任;或者是作為當今為數不多的女性首席執行官該怎樣為我的華裔文化背景取得平衡、并時刻被審視;或者是在前所未有的環境下擔任這一職位所肩負的責任;

And what it would mean to be a business leader that could distinguish him or herself in today's world where the game is changing by the minute.? 還有在今天這個瞬息萬變的世界做一名優秀的商業領袖所代表的意義。
