Sheryl Sandberg on Working Women

In today’s world, women are outnumbering men attending college.  More and more women are entering the workforce and becoming equals with male counterparts.  However, they aren’t rising to the very top.

Our moms worked to break the ‘glass ceiling’ however we aren’t taking advantage of it.  I’m not entirely sure why, expect that maybe we are simply wired differently.  Little girls aren’t praised for being ruthless and tough, but instead for being nice and quiet.

Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg is a woman who is doing things differently.  She is brilliant (Google her and be stunned) and is giving Facebook the parental supervision it so needs.  More than that, she is speaking out, giving advice to women on how to rise in the ranks.  And she’s right.

Hope that helps motivate you to go to work tomorrow after the holiday.
