Why Are Their So FEW Women Leaders?



We could all use a little inspiration to kick off our new year. Sheryl Sandberg the current COO of Facebook and author of Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead shares her three pieces of advice for women aiming to reach the top in the workplace in this TED Talk.



Sanberg's coined phrase "lean in" has caught on in the discussions about women in the workplace. To lean in, in the words of Sandberg, means to not pull back when it comes to your professional career when you want to start a family. This challenges the idea that women cannot achieve their professional ambitions and be a mother at the same time. Take a look at this video for her simple advice on how to do both.

Interviews: A Double Standard



Entering the job market after college can be a tricky task, especially as a woman. The endless applications to fill out and interviews to attend can feel overwhelming. The following video shows just how different the expectations are for women especially in the interview process.  



Being a strong and educated woman in the workplace is certainly not easy. Yes, it is 2016 and a lot has changed over the years but the concept of working mothers and women serving as company executives is still relatively new. Unfortunately, women are still held to very different standards in the workplace and therefore they are expected to display their achievements and strengths differently than men.
My challenge to you is to think about how can we fix this? Do you think the women in this video come off to strong? Why do some perceive them so differently from the men with the same responses?
