LEAN IN: WOMEN, WORK AND THE WILL TO LEAD
By Sheryl Sandberg

In this book, Sheryl Sandberg is keeping the Women’s Revolution dialogue going for women from where she is at age 43. She’s a voice of a younger woman (than most of us) that women can pay attention to.

Her charge is:
How can we create a healthier environment to help women learn how to “lean-in” or be more ambitious?
How can we each “lean-in” for our own lives and see what our own internal barriers are for ourselves?
How can we “lean-in” and take a leadership role in the areas of our lives that we have passion and authenticity?
How can we learn to be more authentic in all our pursuits?

It’s time, she says, to “Internalize the Revolution” and focus more on the internal barriers that are keeping women behind.

For this Women’s Leadership Roundtable discussion, we’d like to start with a dialogue about where we are in our own lives right now as women. What does “lean-in” mean for each of us right now, and does this book give you a charge? Do you agree with her concept of “leaning-in,” and do you agree with some of the internal barriers she has presented? What is your personal charge from reading this book? What is most important to you?

We encourage you to read the book prior to the discussion but don’t let that stop you from attending the roundtable and being part of the conversation.

The links below provide some additional perspectives on the book and will give you an idea of some of the commentary about it in the media.
