Sheryl Sandberg's book Lean In offers some excellent advice. It applies to any woman, in any industry. Perhaps it just hits home more closely knowing that she is the current COO of Facebook, former Googler ;)

Jess Erickson (Founder of Geekettes org) will be hosting a workshop drawing out points from each chapter and hopefully sparking a lively discussion among both men and women (all are welcome).

Book chapters of Lean In that will be summarized and turned into discussion points:

Introduction: Internalizing the Revolution

1) The Leadership Ambition Gap:

What Would You Do if You Weren't Afraid?

2) Sit at the Table

3) Success and Likeability

4) It's a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder

5) Are You My Mentor?

6) Seek and Speak Your Truth

7) Don't Leave Before You Leave

8) Make Your Partner a Real Partner

9) The Myth of Doing It All

10) Let's Start Talking About It

11) Working Together Toward Equality

So ladies, let's start shaping our own destiny, let's work hard, and together we can empower one another and reach our goals faster. We can become leaders and inspire the generation that follows us. You ready to Lean In?

*Drinks and food will be provided.
