She is leader who embodies inspiration. Sheryl Sandberg has started a movement to empower all women to achieve their highest potential. She is dedicated to helping other women grow and succeed and inspires us to do so as well. She has opened the door for women around the world to share their stories, their struggles and their successes. She has opened the eyes of men and women around the world as to the wonderful attributes women bring to the table in the workplace. Even after the tragic loss of her husband, she has gracefully shared her heartache and pain, and her means of coping in an effort to help others.  Sheryl has paved the way for women to advocate and support each other, to have the confidence to sit at the table and have their voices heard. She is so authentic that I have to remind myself she’s not my friend. Sheryl just gets it.
