Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg's Keynote Speech at the Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC) of Women in Computing Conference in Portland, Oregon.
Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg's Keynote Speech @Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing Conference on November 10, 2011 in Portland, Oregon.
The conference's 1st day included a keynote speech by Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook, who spoke about the need for more women in technology and in higher level senior positions. She offered five suggestions for women interested in advancing their careers, saying they should:
1.) believe in themselves, see their successes clearly and don't underestimate your achievements – no one ever achieved what they did not set out to do
2.) dream BIG, be ambitious – success is positively correlated with men, while the opposite is true with women; but with more women in power, this will change
3.) choose a supportive partner – this is the single most important decision a woman can make for her career, because women typically assume the additional responsibilities of raising a family
4.) avoid making career decisions too early – trying to plan life too carefully can close doors rather than keep them open
5.) start talking – it's important to acknowledge the challenges women face and communicate them openly, or change will never happen
