#BanBossy



I just read the article about #BanBossy in Parade this past weekend. 
Then I stumbled upon this video. 
It's official, I'm joining the #BanBossy Campaign!

You should read the whole article but if you don't have time this very moment, here is a teaser: 

my favorite quote from the Parade article:

Sheryl Sandberg (facebook COO) : "I tell parents, instead of saying, “My daughter is bossy,” try, “My daughter has executive leadership skills.” I’ve never had anyone say that without laughing. Now say it for a boy: “My son has executive leadership skills.” There’s no humor in that sentence, which reveals the difference in our expectations. Women still represent only 5 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs. And more worrisome is that the number has been stagnant for a decade. What hasn’t changed fast enough is our acceptance and encouragement of female leadership. That’s goes for all of us—parents, teachers, managers, society, everyone."
