Sharing her stories of joining Netflix, she talked about the art of negotiation. One should never compromise on their worth. Enter a negotiation only if you are willing to walk away if they go under your bottom line. If not, you have already lost your worth.

When asked about why she moved to Netflix, she revealed that creating content for Netflix presented a challenge and full creative freedom. She had the freedom to tell the story she wanted to tell and in the way she desired to!

And this is what separates Netflix from most of the networks. They give their authors total creative freedom.
Moving further, she talked about how this is her year of saying YES to things! And how she has come a long way… From being an introvert to talking to a session of 20,000 people! From being terrified to having fun while speaking! She talks about Not Being Afraid.
Doing something you are afraid of undoes that fear. Saying Yes makes you realize that the fear was only in your head and once you start, you will find it was not that bad. You might end up having fun!
