Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.
SHERYL SANDBERG

Believe Success Yourself

Women have made tons of progress. But we still have a small percentage of the top jobs in any industry, in any nation in the world. I think that’s partly because from a very young age, we encourage our boys to lead and we call our girls bossy.
