Sheryl Sandberg

I have never worked for a woman, and I have never worked with a lot of women.

I learned that when life pulls you under, you can kick against the bottom, break the surface, and breathe again.

I probably shouldn’t admit this since I work in the tech industry, but I still prefer reading paper books.

I really think we need more women to lean into their careers and to be really dedicated to staying in the work force.

Sheryl Sandberg

I tell people in their careers, ‘Look for growth. Look for the teams that are growing quickly. Look for the companies that are doing well. Look for a place where you feel that you can have a lot of impact.’

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.

Sheryl Sandberg

I truly believe that the single most important career decision that a woman makes is whether she will have a life partner and who that partner is.

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

Sheryl Sandberg

I want people to help take care of each other at work. That’s what I want. Do you know how many hours we spend at work? We spend more time at work than we spend at home. When people are suffering, we don’t help enough.

Sheryl Sandberg

I wrote ‘Option B’ because I want other people to know it can get better, and I want to help people make it better.
