It’s just an amazing story ! Heartwarming

Such a captivating story from an amazing leader! I worked for Lisa for 20 years and it’s just amazing to listen to the whole story narrated by my mentor!

Interesting read and insight into Celebrity

There was some good information but performance was a distraction. Very few authors are qualified to read their books. Too monotone. I think this would be better in book form than audio book. Would have liked more details about Celebrity and their rise in the industry. Still an inspiring and heartfelt biography.

Lisa’s Celebrity Sea Cruise

What a career booster, not just for women but men too. Hearing Lisa’s climb to the top is inspiring. Celebrity and Royal Caribbean should be proud of the accomplishments by Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, Captain Kate McCue and many many others throughout the brand. Thanks for being a Badass CEO. You ARE Making Waves.

Leadership at its best
