Reshma Saujani

Why she’s the right human
Reshma Saujani is the author of the international bestseller, “Brave, Not Perfect” and the New York Times bestseller, “Girls Who Code: Learn to Code and Change the World.” Saujani’s TED Talk, “Teach girls bravery, not perfection,” has sparked a worldwide conversation about how we’re raising our girls.

Her latest book, “Pay Up: The Future of Women and Work,” discusses the need for corporate reform, government intervention, and a large-scale culture shift to create change for working women.

At Workhuman Live, she’ll dismantle the myth of “having it all” and discuss how to create lasting change by empowering working women, educating corporate leaders, revising our narratives about what it means to be successful, and advocating for policy reform.
“In the workplace, we're taught to worry about what happens if we don't have full, complete knowledge of every detail. But if you create a culture and an environment that rewards people for taking risks, even if they don't succeed, you can start changing behavior.”
