It's pretty exciting to take real people living in the real world, their opinions, and have people have to react to that. As opposed to their perceptions of what people are thinking, which are often very different.

More quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
Every job will demand some sacrifice. The key is to avoid unnecessary sacrifice.
Sheryl Sandberg
The things that hold women back, hold them back from sitting at the boardroom table and they hold women back from speaking at the PTA meeting.
Sheryl Sandberg
But I really believe that when you give people authentic identity, which is what Facebook does, and you can be your real self and connect with real people online, things will change.
Sheryl Sandberg
I have never worked for a woman, and I have never worked with a lot of women.
Sheryl Sandberg
Grief affects job performance, so giving workers time off to grieve can lead to stronger outcomes at work.
Sheryl Sandberg
The most important thing is to have a more open and honest dialogue about gender issues.
Sheryl Sandberg
We need women at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women’s voices are heard and heeded, not overlooked and ignored.
Sheryl Sandberg
The social web can't exist until you are your real self online. I have to be me. You have to be you. Once we are online as ourselves, connected to each other and our other friends, then you can have the evolution of what becomes the social web.
Sheryl Sandberg
We've got to get women to sit at the table.
Sheryl Sandberg
I've seen over and over how much self-belief drives outcomes. And that's why I force myself to sit at the table, even when I am not sure I belong there - and yes, this still happens to me. And when I'm not sure anyone wants my opinion, I take a deep breath and speak up anyway.
Sheryl Sandberg
Don't be afraid to ask the 'dumb' question, everyone else will be relieved you had the guts to ask!
Sheryl Sandberg
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
Build your skills, not your resume.
Sheryl Sandberg
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
Women are not making it to the top. A hundred and ninety heads of state nine are women. Of all the people in parliament in the world, thirteen per cent are women. In the corporate sector, women at the top - C-level jobs, board seats - tops out at fifteen, sixteen per cent.
Sheryl Sandberg
Communication starts with the understanding that there is my point of view (my truth) and someone else's point of view (his truth). Rarely is there one absolute truth, so people who believe that they speak the truth are very silencing of others.
Sheryl Sandberg
Women don't take enough risks. Men are just 'foot on the gas pedal.' We're not going to close the achievement gap until we close the ambition gap.
Sheryl Sandberg
I wish I could just go tell all the young women I work with, all these fabulous women, 'Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.' I wish I could tell that to my daughter. But it's not that simple.
Sheryl Sandberg
If I didn't write in my journal every couple of days, I felt like I was going to burst. Later I learned the research about how important journaling can be to recovering from trauma and grief. That was definitely true for me.
Sheryl Sandberg
My hope in writing 'Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead' was to change the conversation from what women can't do to what we can.
Sheryl Sandberg
