6. SIT AT THE TABLE
Meaning :taking (accepting) position as
a member of the group that we belong
to rather than pulling back.
In addition to facing institutional
obstacles, women face a battle from
within.
This phenomenon of capable people
being plagued by selfdoubt has a name
—the impostor syndrome. Both men
and women are susceptible to the
impostor syndrome, but women tend to
experience it more intensely and be
more limited by it.
8. Are you my mentor?
Media mogul Oprah Winfrey, once explained, “I mentor when I see
something and say, ‘I want to see that grow.’
Mentors continue to invest when mentees use their time well and are
truly open to feedback. It may turn into a friendship but the foundation
is a professional relationship.
Being unsure about how to proceed is the most natural feeling in the
world. Asking for input is not a sign of weakness but often the first step
to finding a path forward.
''Mentors are not therapists”
10. Let's start talking about it. . .
Talking can transform minds, which can transform behaviors, which can
transform institutions.
Today, despite all of the gains we have made, neither men nor women have real
choice. #ki&ka ,english vinglish.
Shutting down discussion is selfdefeating and impedes progress. We need to talk
and listen and debate and refute and instruct and learn and evolve.
“The discussions may be difficult, but the positives are many. We cannot change
what we are unaware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.”
''Courage is contagious”
11. Working together toward equality !!
We can reignite the revolution by internalizing the revolution.
The shift to a more equal world will happen person by person.
When more people will get into the race , more records will be broken.
We move closer to the larger goal of true equality with each woman who
leans in and each man that supports the cause.

Editor's Notes
Lean in: to shift oneself forward or towards something.
key message of this book is for women to rise and lean in to being equal and rising to positions of authority.
by lacking self-confidence By not raising hands, and by pulling back when we should be leaning in.
the messages that say it’s wrong to be outspoken, aggressive,
more powerful than men.
When there are more women at highest levels,we will expand opportunities and extend fairer treatment to all.
Fear is at the root of so many of the barriers that women face. Fear of not being liked. Fear of
making the wrong choice. Fear of drawing negative attention. Fear of overreaching. Fear of being
judged. Fear of failure. And the holy trinity of fear: the fear of being a bad mother/wife/daughter.
Without fear, women can pursue professional success and personal fulfillment—and freely choose
one, or the other, or both.
Men and women also
differ when it comes to explaining failure. When a man fails, he points to factors like “didn’t study
enough” or “not interested in the subject matter.” When a woman fails, she is more likely to believe it
is due to an inherent lack of ability, Dr. Friedman writes
And in situations where a man and a woman each receive
negative feedback, the woman’s self-confidence and self-esteem drop to a much greater degree. The
internalization of failure and the insecurity it breeds hurt future performance, so this pattern has
serious long-term consequences.
In 2003, Columbia Business School professor Frank Flynn and New York University professor
Cameron Anderson ran an experiment to test perceptions of men and women in the workplace.1 They
started with a Harvard Business School case study about a real-life entrepreneur named Heidi Roizen.
The case described how Roizen became a successful venture capitalist by using her “outgoing
personality … and vast personal and professional network.2 Flynn and Anderson assigned half of the students to read
Heidi’s story and gave the other half the same story with just one difference—they changed the name
“Heidi” to “Howard.”
We need to stop telling the young women , “Get a mentor and you will excel.” Instead, we need to tell them, “Excel and you will get a mentor.” We don't have to be too dependent on others. Like prince charming stories.
There are many powerful reasons to exit the workforce. Being a stay-at-home parent is a wonderful,
and often necessary, choice for many people. Not every parent needs, wants, or should be expected to
work outside the home. In addition, we do not control all of the factors that influence us, including the
health of our children. Plus, many people welcome the opportunity to get out of the rat race. No one
should pass judgment on these highly personal decisions. I fully support any man or woman who
dedicates his or her life to raising the next generation. It is important and demanding and joyful work.
True partnership in our homes does more than just benefit couples today; it also sets the stage for
the next generation.
The sooner we break the cycle, the faster
we will reach greater equality.
pg.120 -this revolution ( boys )
As more women lean in to their careers, more men need to lean in to their
families. We need to encourage men to be more ambitious in their homes.
We need more men to sit at the table … the kitchen table
The secret is there is no secret—just doing the best you can with what you’ve got.”
