We are building products that people with very diverse backgrounds use, and I think we all want our company makeup to reflect the makeup of the people who use our products. That's not true of any industry really, and we have a long way to go.
Sheryl SandbergDon't make decisions too far in advance, particularly ones you're not even conscious you're making.
Sheryl SandbergThe best way to make room for both life and career is to make choices deliberately-to set limits and stick to them.
Sheryl SandbergI'm not pretending I can give advice to every single person or every single couple for every situation; I'm making the point that we are not going to get to equality in the workforce before we get to equality in the home. Not going to happen.
Sheryl SandbergI don't hold myself out as a role model. I don't believe that everyone should make the same choices; that everyone has to want to be a CEO, or everyone should want to be a work-at-home mother. I want everyone to be able to choose. But I want us to be able to choose unencumbered by gender choosing for us.
