The best way to make room for both life and career is to make choices deliberately-to set limits and stick to them.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
It's more pressure on women to - if they marry or partner with someone, to partner with the right person. Because you cannot have a full career and a full life at home with your children if you are also doing all of the housework and child care.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
I'm excited that more people, especially men, are understanding that equality is good for them. I don't want men to want equality for women because they're being nice to their colleagues and daughters. I want men to want it because it's better for their companies and their lives.

Speak up. Believe in yourself. Take risks.

I think now is our time. My mother was told by everyone that she had two choices: She could be a nurse or a teacher. The external barriers now are just so much lower. If we start acknowledging what the real issues are, we can solve them. It's not that hard.

There is no such thing as work-life balance. There is work, there is life, and there is no balance.

I have a five year-old son and a three year-old daughter. I want my son to have a choice to contribute fully in the workforce or at home. And I want my daughter to have the choice to not just succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.

Talking can transform minds, which can transform behaviors, which can transform institutions.

Real change will come when powerful women are less of an exception. It is easy to dislike senior women because there are so few.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Our aspirations are really for women to be in half the leadership roles and men to be doing half the work of parenting.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
We need to talk more openly about mentorships and sponsorships. Women don't get the mentoring, and particularly the sponsors, they need to succeed as much as men.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Presenting leadership as a list of carefully defined qualities (like strategic, analytical, and performance-ori ented) no longer holds. Instead, true leadership stems from individuality that is honestly and sometimes imperfectly expressed.... Leaders should strive for authenticity over perfection.
Sheryl Sandberg

Facebook is great for women and men. We are enormously flexible. We care a lot about great opportunities for women, we push ourselves to make things as flexible as possible.

When you're more valuable, the people around you will do more to make it work.

Endless data show that diverse teams make better decisions. We are building products that people with very diverse backgrounds use, and I think we all want our company makeup to reflect the makeup of the people who use our products. That's not true of any industry really, and we have a long way to go.

I want my daughter to have the choice not just to succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.

A lot of people will say, what's Facebook's business model? I always find that a kind of funny question. Our business model is out there, which is: we monetize largely through advertising and a little bit through the gift revenue, the virtual gifts we have on our site. I think those continue to be the most promising avenues going forward.

The most important thing - and I've said it a hundred times and I'll say it a hundred times - if you marry a man, marry the right one.

Sixty-four percent of managers in the U.S. are afraid to be alone in a room with a woman. Mentoring is all about being alone in a room with someone. Let's start talking about this honestly. The lack of equal access is the silent killer for women and no one wants to talk about it.
