“Fear is not a motivating factor. You might be able to get a little bit more out of someone in the short term, but you will completely erode your business and your culture in the long term. You're going to lose all your good people. You're not going to have people tell you the truth, and it becomes the tradition.”

“At HSN, the experience we create are a significant point of differentiation.”

“Our partnership with Disney included a two-hour Cinderella list takeover that features supermodel Coco Rocha's first-ever fashion collection, which incorporated behind-the-scenes footage and interviews to support her HSN debut.”

“When we are caught up in the nature of our work and are asked to take on another job or position, rarely do we step back and ask ourselves, 'What do I really want to do? What is it at this point in my career and life that is important to me?'”

“It's good to have a goal.”

“We are increasingly using social media to drive both engagement and commerce. And because we are a commerce platform that integrates content, we believe we have a unique opportunity to make up a high button, a relative factor in social.”

“HSNi Cares was established in 2010 with a mission to empower women and support children and families in need locally, nationally, and globally.”

“My first Weight Watchers meeting was when I was 14 years old on Long Island, and I went there with my mother. I'd gained that adolescent weight and wanted to try out for cheerleading... I lost the weight, tried out, and made the cheerleading team.”

“HSNi's performance gained momentum throughout 2014 as we executed on our strategic priorities across our business, by strengthening our customer file, optimizing our digital platform, and differentiating HSNi and our brands at content-rich, immersive commerce destination.”

“Our destination programming allows us to put a stake in the ground and create a showy tweak that is story driven, with products that are inspiring to our customers, and the content doesn't expire at the end of the show but continues to live on in various formats on multiple distribution platforms.”

“I never want anything to be too predictable.”

“There's no doubt that the Weight Watchers' long-term collaboration with Oprah Winfrey has certainly accelerated the company's progress since October 2015, with high awareness of her success and happiness with the program sparking interest and excitement.”

“In addition to showing our customers what to wear, we also educated them on how to wear it by launching The Closet and utilizing the beauty bar, where our style experts provided videos with tips to educate and inspire.”

“I've learned not to let people judge me in how I want to live my life. Every single woman is an individual, and there's no one path. You just have to take the path that you think is right for you.”

“Companies lose some of their best employees when people are beaten down; then they overpromote junior people because they can't persuade outsiders to sign on.”

“What creates success on HSN is great product, a great story and a great storyteller.”

“I've not been afraid to take risks, be resolute and passionate about purpose, and inspire people to do things that maybe they thought weren't possible.”

“If you are not diverse, you are saying, 'I don't want to be successful.'”

“We have a highly specialized customer and want to give her the best experience somewhere she can trust.”

“Our assimilation efforts are based on building long-term relationships and value with our customers, and the success of these efforts is measured partly by our ability to stimulate customers to make a second purchase within 90 days.”
