EPISODE 360: Lean In and Sheryl Sandberg 13 Years Later
A Special Women's History Month Episode
THIS WEEK’S TOPIC:
It’s been 13 years since Sheryl Sandberg published “Lean In,” sparking a global conversation about women, leadership, and ambition. The world, and Sheryl herself, has evolved in profound ways since then. In this special Women’s History Month episode, Laura Cox Kaplan sits down with Sheryl Sandberg, her close friend and the pioneer of the Lean In movement, for an intimate and wide-ranging conversation. Together, they explore not just the enduring message of “Lean In,” but also resilience, the power of female friendships, investing generously in others, and navigating the shifting landscape of work, technology, and influence.
ABOUT THIS WEEK’S GUEST:
Sheryl Sandberg is the author of “Lean In,” co-author of “Option B,” former COO of Meta (formerly Facebook), and founder of Lean In Foundation.
KEY TOPICS AND WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:
OWNERSHIP AND INTERNAL VOICES: Sheryl and Laura discuss how “Lean In” shifted the conversation about women, leadership, ambition and power.
THE POWER OF FEMALE FRIENDSHIP AND PEER MENTORSHIP: Learn how Lean In Circles have grown globally, now numbering over 150,000, and why peer mentorship, friendship, and practicing ambition in safe spaces are key for professional and personal growth.
AMBITION REDEFINED: Sheryl shares how ambition has evolved for her across life’s seasons, why it’s still a word she proudly claims.
MENTORSHIP, SPONSORSHIP & THE ‘ME TOO’ EFFECT: The chilling impact of “Me Too” on male mentors, and why women must advocate for equal access to mentorship, sponsorship, and informal opportunities. Practical strategies for navigating the optics and discomfort while still advancing your career.
RESILIENCE AFTER TRAGEDY and POST-TRAUMATIC GROWTH: Sheryl recounts her experience of losing her husband Dave Goldberg and writing “Option B”; she shares insight into the three “Ps” of resilience: personalization, pervasiveness, and permanence.
BUILDING AND CELEBRATING CULTURE: Lessons from Marine Corps leadership training at Quantico, including the importance of after-action reviews (celebrating what went right as well as addressing what went wrong).
GIVERS AND TAKERS IN CORPORATE AND PERSONAL LIFE:
Hear Sheryl’s take on Adam Grant’s “Givers and Takers” matrix, and why understanding these dynamics is crucial to fostering a culture of contribution and candor.
AI AND THE FUTURE OF WORK: Why women are being left behind in the adoption of AI, and how Lean In is tackling the skills gap so women and girls can thrive in the technological revolution.
ENDING CHILD MARRIAGE AND INVESTING IN GLOBAL CHANGE: Sheryl talks about her advocacy to end child marriage worldwide, the urgency of the issue, and how listeners can get involved.
PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS:
- The role of journaling what you did well to build confidence
- How to practice career-defining conversations in Lean In Circles
- The importance of reframing setbacks and celebrating achievements daily
- Why small steps (Sheryl’s “10 Turns”) are the path through overwhelm
Whether you’re navigating your own career pivot, searching for resilience, or striving to amplify your influence and impact, we think you’ll find so much value in this important conversation.
