When it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. Someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated, and ambitious.
Sheryl Sandberg

There is no perfect fit when you're looking for the next big thing to do. You have to take opportunities and make an opportunity fit for you, rather than the other way around. The ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have.
Sheryl Sandberg

I want women to get paid more. I want to teach them to negotiate so they get paid more.
Sheryl Sandberg

And what I saw happening is that women don't make one decision to leave the workforce. They makes lots of little decisions really far in advance that kind of inevitably lead them there.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
When I was in high school, I was voted most likely to succeed.

Guilt management can be just as important as time management for mothers.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Speak up. Believe in yourself. Take risks.
Sheryl Sandberg

The No. 1 impediment to women succeeding in the workforce is now in the home.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Social media has created a historical shift from the historically powerful to the historically powerless. Now everyone has a voice.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
I had heard that when people lost people, there was anger. But I definitely experienced it a lot more than I was prepared for it. Anger was not something I'd ever really felt in my life and I was not prepared for it.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
The more women help one another, the more we help ourselves. Acting like a coalition truly does produce results. Any coalition of support must also include men, many of whom care about gender inequality as much as women do.
