Strengths:

This is an informative video about the number of women vs. men who reach the top of their professions.
This presentation includes a discussion of three pieces of advice for women who want to stay in the workforce: “Sit at the table”, “Make your partner a real partner”, and “Don’t leave before you leave”.
The approach throughout the presentation was easy to follow and concise.
Sheryl Sandberg provided an initial overview of the three points, then spent time reviewing each and provided specific examples of each. Followed by a summary wrap up at the end.
At the end of the presentation, there was an opportunity to see links for additional resources to access additional materials entitled: “Watch”, “Think”, and “Dig Deeper” in which the reader can engage in quizzes, discussion questions, and additional resources to further engage in materials.
She does a good job of differentiating behaviors of men and women, and discussing why women may need to adjust their approach to leadership opportunities.

Concerns:

None.
