Don't Under Estimate Yourself!

Happy New Year everyone! Welcome to 2011.

This is the best corporate speech I've heard in a long time. At the first ever TED Women Conference, Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook, shares important tips for women in exercising leadership skills in the workplace: 1) Sit at the table. Negotiate for yourself. Women systematically underestimate their abilities. Take advantage of the opportunities that are available; 2) Make your partner a REAL partner. Ask for the help you need at home; 3) Don't leave before you leave. Even if you are planning to have children "someday" don't make premature plans to leave your career before it's necessary.

Awesome information! Thanks, Sheryl. Enjoy!
