Great book

I picked up so many tidbits in this book, I am sure I will need to read it 2 or 3 times to get the full benefit from it.

Excellent!

Very meaningful stories and I enjoyed them. Great narration. It was worth listening to regardless of your background.

Great read for any woman, whether new to your profession or seasoned and experienced.

This book gives very practical advice, warns you about common self sabotaging behaviors, and gives real life examples of how people persevered

Hard to get hooked

Though the good content, the tone and the way it is narrated is not Pacifying.
