For a young audience

I think I was a bit long in the tooth for this book. Audience should be between 16-20 years old max. Overall, good tips for young to-be professionals.

Great inspiration for ladies in leadership!

This is a wonderful story of a great leader who is a lady. Great life lessons and wonderful tips that can really be applied in your career. I'm in the nuclear power industry which is far outside of the fashion industry, and yet I truly enjoyed listening to Aliza's story. It is one of my favorite books on leadership by a woman. The only area in which I wish Aliza had expanded on is how she dealt with having a family while excelling her career. She did touch on this area slightly, but only slightly towards the end of the book. I would love to read another book by her that would go into those struggles that women face.

Great for a new college graduate.

Would you listen to Leave Your Mark again? Why?

Yes, her tips on social media were on point.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The performance was fine considering it was the author's voice. It was like listening to a friend or co-worker.

Fabulous

She is pretty much fabulous! Enjoyed this book thoroughly, lots of good dialog and informative.

Inspiring. Funny. Candid. Real.

This is an incredible read [listen] for anyone just graduating from college or in their first or second year in the workforce. As someone further along, I found myself nodding in agreement as I could identify with almost every scenario. I also got a lot of value from a coaching standpoint. I've always had a somewhat seasoned team, but this is the first year that I had some extremely young talent, and honestly, I've been a bit frustrated. There is so much that you assume they know, you forget just how green they are. Listening to Aliza, I was reminded to guide them not just on the job I want them to do, but on becoming the professional they aspire to be. More importantly, I was reminded just how much of a privilege it is to be able to do so.

Great book!

Very inspiring and well worded book. I would highly recommend this audio book for anyone

Didn't Resonate

Her story wasn't relatable, but she was very enthusiastic. Appreciate the effort and thought in.

Wish it had a work book or additional materials

I do most of my reading in the car and would have liked to have a "cheat sheet" to revisit the concepts she outlined.

Not for Entrepreneurs

Great for College students or young adults just starting out. Not what I expected at all.
