Women in Business: Keep Your Foot on The Gas Pedal!
Posted on March 12, 2012 by Lynn Telford-Sahl, One of Thousands of Money and Finance Coaches on Noomii.
Sheryl Sandberg 2nd in Command at Facebook says women in business need to keep their foot on the gas pedal to succeed.
The 1.6 Billion Dollar woman in business, Facebook’s second in command, Sheryl Sandberg says “women need to keep your foot on the gas pedal and aim high.” Ms. Sandberg was recently speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland and her subject was women! Should Facebook’s launch go as planned Ms. Sandberg will be worth approximately 1.6 billion. She’s one of a very few self-made woman billionares. Go girl!!
Sheryl Sandberg is to the promotion of women in business as Steve Jobs was to the promotion of Apple. Her focus on women makes perfect business sense for her role in Facebook as 71% of daily fan activity and 62% of all activity is driven by women*. Women need role models who aim high and are super successful along with being married and having children. Young women flock to hear her speak because she’s so passionate about empowering them.
All high profile people generate some backlash and there are those that say her wild success is because, as a woman in business, Ms. Sandberg has had luck and advantages others don’t have. It’s true, most women in business don’t attend Harvard or Harvard Business School. But she’s noted to be “super smart and savvy,” has obviously put to good use her business education, training and “luck,” and she’s dedicated to supporting more women into upper echelon positions.
Here’s a link to a YouTube video where Sheryl talks about why women don’t make it into top positions and what to do about it. Excellent. Sheryl Sandberg YouTube Video (*NY Times, Feb 5th 2012 The $1.6 Billion Woman, Staying on Message)
