Sandberg asks most women whether they have the right to equality at work and the answer will be a resounding yes, but ask the same women whether they'd feel confident asking for a raise, a promotion, or equal pay, and some reticence creeps in. Women hold just 20 per cent of seats in parliaments globally, and in the world of big business, eighteen of the Fortune 500 CEOs are women. The author draws on her experience of working in some of the world's most successful companies (i.e. Facebook) and looks at what women can do to help themselves and make the small changes in their lives that can effect change on a more universal scale. #Enjoy the #reading #FoodForThought #empowerment #leadHERship #SherylSandberg #community #reading #suggestions #make #ignite #connect

In "The Female Brain," neuropsychiatrist Louann Brizendine reveals how biological factors like the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and childbirth shape women's cognitive and social development. 📚 Key Insights: • Early brain differences start in the eighth week of fetal development. • Women excel in verbal agility, forming deep friendships, deciphering emotions, and conflict resolution. Brizendine's research challenges the notion of a unisex brain, showing how hormones influence our brains throughout life. It is a “must-read” for anyone interested in neuroscience and psychology. #Enjoy the #reading! #FoodForThoughts #TheFemaleBrain #Neuroscience #GenderDifferences #LouannBrizendine #community #reading #goodvibes #suggestions #make #ignite #connect

𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞 𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞 𝐝𝐢 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚̀ (𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧) by Tonia Cartolano, Santelli Editore. This book is about seven true stories. The protagonists are seven extraordinarily #NormalWomen and "𝐿𝑒𝑎𝑑𝐻𝑒𝑟𝑠" was born from a long coffee and a nice chat with the author, without filters and mediation. Seven women, each in their way and with their own story, tell that _a smart woman can achieve just as much as a man, without prejudices, differences, or categories_. And, above all, without trying to resemble men, capable, as women are, of leadership that is no better than that of men, but different. Unique. The author starts with the goal they achieved to narrate what they were, where they started from, and how they managed to get to where they are. This book tries to answer essential questions about #FemaleLeadership and its #potential. #Enjoy the #reading! #FoodForThought #leadHERship #empowerment #community #reading #suggestions #make #ignite #connect

Using Radical Candor—avoiding the perils of Obnoxious Aggression, Manipulative Insincerity, and Ruinous Empathy—you can be kind and clear simultaneously. Radical Candor is about caring personally and challenging directly, soliciting criticism to improve your leadership, and providing guidance that helps others grow. It focuses on praise but doesn't shy away from criticism—to help you love your work and the people you work with. Radically Candid relationships with team members enable bosses to fulfil their three core responsibilities: 1. Create a culture of Compassionate Candor 2. Build a cohesive team 3. Achieve results collaboratively #Enjoy the #reading! #FoodForThought #RadicalCandor #leadHERship #empowerment #community #reading #suggestions #make #ignite #connect
