“Lean In” by Sheryl Sandberg is a practical guide for women looking to advance in the workplace. Sandberg, drawing from her personal experiences as the COO of Facebook and former Deputy Chief of Staff of the United States, advises women on how to be strong in the workplace, succeed, and achieve their goals.
Here’s a summary of the key ideas in the book:
- Challenge your beliefs about women in the workplace: Many women hold limiting beliefs about what they can achieve in the workplace. Sandberg helps you identify and challenge these beliefs and replace them with positive and empowering beliefs.

- Be resilient in the face of setbacks: Success in the workplace is not always easy. You will face challenges and obstacles, but what’s important is to stay strong and persevere.
