Today, I watched a short Ted Talk by Sheryl Sandberg about the lack of women in the workforce and in high management positions. I have to do a presentation for my fellow internship classmates about my experiences this semester, and was shown the video to learn what goes into an effective, engaging presentation.
I felt her presentation was effective. She engaged the audience with stories and relatable experiences. She also made jokes that kept the audiences attention. However, some of the statistics she gave were not backed by any sources. This made me very skeptical of her entire stance. I wanted to know how she could know things like that women do two thirds of the work to raise a child. I wondered where she got her information from. An accompanying slideshow with sources would solve this issue.
Overall, Sheryl is a great speaker and certainly motivated and inspired the women in the audience.
