Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In is a massive cultural phenomenon and its title has become an instant catchphrase for empowering women. The book soared to the top of bestseller lists internationally, igniting global conversations about women and ambition. Sandberg packed theatres, dominated opinion pages, appeared on every major television show and on the cover of Time magazine, and sparked ferocious debate about women and leadership. Ask most women whether they have the right to equality at work and the answer will be a resounding yes, but ask the same women whether they'd feel confident asking for a raise, a promotion, or equal pay, and some reticence creeps in. The statistics, although an impr...
Sheryl Sandberg is the COO of Facebook and founder of the Lean In! movement. Learn about her life before the Silicon Valley, from her early childhood all the way through the present day.
In 2015 Sheryl Sandberg’s husband, Dave Goldberg, died suddenly at the age of forty-eight. Sandberg and her two young children were devastated, and she was certain that their lives would never have real joy or meaning again. Just weeks later, Sandberg was talking with a friend about the first father-child activity without a father. They came up with a plan for someone to fill in. “But I want Dave,” she cried. Her friend put his arm around her and said, “Option A is not available. So let’s just kick the shit out of Option B.” Everyone experiences some form of Option B. We all deal with loss: jobs lost, loves lost, lives lost. The question is not whether these things will happen bu...
Ask most women whether they have the right to equality at work and the answer will be a resounding yes, but ask the same women whether they'd feel confident asking for a raise, a promotion, or equal pay, and some reticence creeps in. The statistics, although an improvement on previous decades, are certainly not in women's favour - of 197 heads of state, only twenty-two are women. Women hold just 20 percent of seats in parliaments globally, and in the world of big business, a meagre eighteen of the Fortune 500 CEOs are women. In Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg - Facebook COO and one of Fortune magazine's Most Powerful Women in Business - looks at what women can do to help themselves, and make the small changes in their life that can effect change on a more universal scale. She draws on her own experiences working in some of the world's most successful businesses, as well as academic research, to find practical answers to the problems facing women in the workplace. Learning to 'lean in' is about tackling the anxieties and preconceptions that stop women reaching the top - taking a place at the table, and making yourself a part of the debate.
An executive on the rise, Jennifer took an assignment in Shanghai moving her family half-way around the world for her career. After leaning-in, traveling tens of thousands of miles, she discovered that she was losing her daughter. Finding her family again meant losing her career or maybe just realizing it was never there in the first place. This journey of discovery is intimately told as though you were Jennifer's best friend. Laugh, cry and discover the truth of 'leaning in' at one of America's oldest and largest companies.
Sheryl Sandberg’s book, Lean In, works to inform professional women how to be more successful in their professional lives while leading fulfilling, personal ones. The story behind the American businesswoman (the Chief Operating Officer of Facebook), her book, and her success is as compelling as any self-help book and as “liked” as any post.
Jennifer leaped at the opportunity to take her career to the next level. The Salt Mine was growing in Asia Pacific & Africa. It needed leaders from the home office in the States to move to China and pull together a cohesive team that could deliver the results the Board of Directors, shareholders and analysts expected. It was an opportunity to build a team from the ground up, a chance to be the first director in Asia Pacific for her functional organization and one of only three women in leadership roles there. She knew the work would be hard. She would have to put in long hours, travel across the region, be away from her three children and husband for days or weeks at a time. It would be wort...
