We've Got To Get Women To Sit

I Know From My Own Experience That The Path To Change Is Best Traveled When We Travel Together.

I Have A Five Year-old Son And A Three Year-old Daughter. I Want My Son To Have A Choice To Contribute Fully In The Workforce Or At Home. And I Want My Daughter To Have The Choice To Not Just Succeed, But To Be Liked For Her Accomplishments.

I Realized That Searching For A Mentor Has Become The Professional Equivalent Of Waiting For Prince Charming. We All Grew Up On The Fairy Tale "seeping Beauty," Which Instructs Young Women That If They Just Wait For Their Prince To Arrive, They Will Be Kissed And Whisked Away On A White Horse To Live Happily Ever After. Now Young Women Are Told That If They Can Just Find The Right Mentor, They Will Be Pushed Up The Ladder And Whisked Away To The Corner Office To Live Happily Ever After. Once Again, We Are Teaching Women To Be Too Dependent On Others.

At Facebook We Feel A Lot Of Affinity Not Just For This Community But For Any Community That Is Trying To Do What Davos Is Trying To Do, Which Is To Share Information. And Davos Is Doing It In A Particular Way - I Think The Facebook Approach Is Obviously More Broad-based, We're Trying To Include Everyone In The World. But The Goal Is The Same: Bring People Together, To Share Information And Make The World More Connected, And Have People Have A Deeper Understanding Of Themselves, Others, The Communities Of Which They Want To Be A Part And Can Be A Part.

Grief Affects Job Performance, So Giving Workers Time Off To Grieve Can Lead To Stronger Outcomes At Work.
