"We all love YouTube for a brain-break in the afternoon, but turns out, the site is just as awesome a resource for getting career advice as it is for gawking at cute, fluffy animals. There are videos with job tips from inspiring women like Valerie Jarrett and Sheryl Sandberg, and also from career coaches who can help you speak up in meetings or better handle feedback. Plus, you can watch them at your desk without having to pull up a fake Excel spreadsheet when your boss walks by. (Something you can&amp;#x27;t say for cat videos!) Senior adviser to the President Valerie Jarrett (left) and Facebook COO and Lean In creator Sheryl Sandberg (right) OK, so are you ready? Here are a few of my favorite nuggets of career wisdom on YouTube that are so worth watching: Valerie Jarrett: Take Risks &amp;quot;This is a generalization, but I think that women are more risk-averse than they should be. It&amp;#x27;s OK if everybody doesn&amp;#x27;t like you. You want them to respect you.&amp;quot; Sheryl Sandberg: Don&amp;#x27;t Rule Out a Lateral Move That Gives You Valuable Experience &amp;quot;When people are too focused on moving up, ahead of everything else, we miss opportunities.&amp;quot; IMF Chief Christine Lagarde: Value Diversity &amp;quot;Diversity, mixing of views, and debates are generally positive forces.They are more conducive to [business] stability than a single gender world.&amp;quot; Condoleeza Rice: Avoid Over-Planning &amp;quot;Be willing to accept some ambiguity about where you&amp;#x27;re going.&amp;quot; Arianna Huffington: Decide What Success Means to You &amp;quot;What is a good life? We&amp;amp;#8217;ve kind of shrunk the definition down to money and power. And we need to expand it again.&amp;quot; Gloria Steinem: Follow Your Passion &amp;quot;Do what you love. Do what you love so much you forget what time it is because you love it so much.&amp;quot; Former Ogilvy &amp;amp; Mather CEO Shelly Lazarus: Give Up Perfect &amp;quot;You can&amp;#x27;t be the perfect mother, the perfect hostess, the perfect wife, the perfect executive...&amp;quot; Authors and Negotiating Experts Sheila Heen and Doug Stone: Use Feedback to Your Benefit &amp;quot;There&amp;#x27;s all this information other people have about you that you don&amp;#x27;t know. And that&amp;#x27;s a challenge to see.&amp;quot; KC Baker: Claim the Public Stage &amp;quot;So many brilliant women, who so want to contribute, but the fear and resistance [of public speaking] keep them from ever speaking up.&amp;quot; Women Leaders at GM, Instagram, Starbucks, and more: Have a Breakthrough Moment &amp;quot;A breakthrough moment for me,&amp;quot; says Instagram&amp;#x27;s Emily White &amp;quot;was the time I listened to advice and decided not to take it.&amp;quot; Do you have any career videos that you swear by?
