Sheryl Sandberg on Why There are So few Women in Tech & New Year’s Resolutions
COO Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook recently spoke at the inaugural TEDWomen Conference. Her touchstone speech is one which we are sure you may have been made aware of via a Facebook status, Twitter, or your favorite blog. However, we thought it was important enough to post here, too. In it, she outlines her top 3 tips she gives women on how to break the cycle mentioned above — too few women in advanced positions in tech. So, whether or not your New Year’s resolution(s) include such job and career-oriented goals as these, I would highly recommend setting aside some non-interrupted time when you can sit and take in this video – to all aspiring women in business out there.
