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 its not that simple. – Sheryl Sandberg
If you ask men why they did a good job, theyll say, Im awesome. Obviously. Why are you even asking? If you ask women why they did a good job, what theyll say is someone helped them, they got lucky, they worked really hard. – 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
I was a dancer, and its not really cool for a boy to dance, so it was inspiring to see a movie like Footloose where a guy is dancing masculine and had a proper reason behind it. It made me feel cool, and when these kids would make fun of me, Id be like, Oh, didnt you see Footloose, man? – Kenny Wormald
