The document discusses challenges women face in being successful in product management and marketing. It covers topics like women being less likely to see ambition as a positive trait, negotiating raises, balancing career and family, and achieving equality by fighting harmful stereotypes. Quotes from Sheryl Sandberg's book Lean In emphasize the importance of women seeking out opportunities instead of waiting to be offered them, and how shared domestic responsibilities between partners can reduce the risk of divorce. The document ends by thanking the audience and providing contact information for further discussion.

Editor's Notes
- Speaker Notes: Women are outperforming men as it relates to attaining higher education; however, career progression is not only a factor of education. Progression is also tied to one’s ambition to be in leadership.
- This is on page. 17
- “Writing this book is not just me encouraging others to lean in. This is me leaning in. Writing this book is what I would do if I weren’t afraid.” Sheryl Sandberg We will ask the participants to jot a fear down on a note card. Session Icebreaker: Ask participants to volunteer to talk about what they would do in their career if they did not let fear hold them back.
- “Women need to shift from thinking “I’m not ready to do that” to thinking “I want to do that – and I’ll learn by doing it.” – Sheryl Sandberg, Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead TALK STRATEGY When you get chance to be at the table, are you talking about your tactics? The deliverables you produced this quarter? Change it! Our execs and leaders really aren’t interested in the amount of tactical effort and time you put into creating all those data sheets or webinars. These leaders are focused on the goals of the business. Take the chance to talk about strategy. Talk about the product marketing roadmap you’ve created and that is guiding you? (Don’t have one? Create it!) Talk about your partnership with your internal partners Product management Development Marketing services and communication Sales Talk about how the alignment you have created in the buying process, not the tools created. Talk about not only the investment of your time in the market, but the learnings from that are changing how you establish relationships. Keep this in mind: your business exec doesn’t want to know how many of those data sheets you created, or how many hours of sales training were developed – it is about the IMPACT of what you have done to PRODUCE result. Results drive the business, and gain the respect to earn the value
- “Feeling confident – or pretending that you feel confident – is necessary to reach for opportunities. It’s a cliché, but opportunities are rarely offered; they are seized.” Sheryl Sandberg Know Your Worth If you are new to product management and marketing you may be unaware of what the average starting salaries are for the industry. One resource you can look to is the 2013-2014 Annual Product Management and Marketing survey published by Pragmatic Marketing. The components of understanding what you are worth include: Your education: 44% of respondents had a master’s degree or higher Years of experience: 25% of respondents had 6 to 10 years of experience Your location: The average salary in the US is 127K. Respondents from the Pacific and Northeast regions not only had the highest salaries, but over a third of them received an annual bonus of $15,000+ Who do you report to?: 32% report to Product Management and 22% to the President/CEO/Managing Director What are some documented gender biases? Decades of studies have proven that our stereotype of men is that they are providers, decisive, and driven. Our stereotype of women holds that they are caregivers, sensitive and communal. How many of you have seen this dynamic play out at your organization? When a woman excels both men and women will remark that she is accomplishing a lot, but is not well liked by her peers. Things to do: Stop muting your achievements Negotiate more often. You do not have to take the first offer, but the goal should be to achieve your objective while maintaining your likability Acknowledge that you know women are often paid less than men and be willing to negotiate, but you must supply a legitimate reason for the negotiation. (i.e industry stats, etc. Don’t sacrifice success just to be liked
- From Page 35.
- “We compromise our career goals to make room for partners and children who may not even exist yet.” “Anyone lucky enough to have options should keep them open. Don’t enter the workforce already looking for the exit. Don’t put on the breaks. Accelerate. Keep a foot on the gas pedal until a decision must be made. That’s the only way to ensure that when that day comes, there will be a real decision to make.” – Sheryl Sandberg Of all the industrialized nations in the world, the Unites States is the only one without a paid maternity leave policy. Pg 23 Insert personal story about relocating to Florida from Chicago How many understand the Family Medical Leave Act? – It provides job protection and continued benefits for 12 weeks after you have your baby, but it dictates nothing about paid maternity leave, which is up to your company policy. FMLA does not apply to employees who have worked for the company less than a year or less than 1250 hours. It also does not apply to those companies with fewer than 50 employees.
- The more satisfied a person is with their position the less likely she will be to leave. If you have an unsatisfying job, you may decide the sacrifice of not being with your child is just not worth it.
