As CEOs and CFOs, entrepreneurs, top sales professionals, educators, retired executives, philanthropists, and best-selling authors, we all trip and fall. There are times we are the cause of our stumble, other times someone else is sticking their leg out in front of us. Yet it’s how we pick ourselves up and keep going that defines our success. In this book, you’ll hear stories of professional women climbing the corporate ladder in their respective industries from finance to healthcare to welding. These women were told to sit in the back of the room, stepped on by their mentors, discouraged from joining the company basketball league as they might get hurt, fired for being transgender, and had bosses look them up and down during presentations. Their personal lives weren’t a walk in the park either. Some got divorced, experienced the premature death of a spouse, or had a child diagnosed with cancer. They are sharing their personal and professional journeys with you so that your eyes can be wide open to the challenges you may face as a woman over the course of your career. You are not alone. Whatever you’ll encounter, someone else has probably fought the good fight. At the same time, top career and life coaching tips are included such as finding the right job, setting personal boundaries, marrying the right partner for that magical hug, building strength amidst tough situations, learning is earning, and many more in this guide for early to midcareer women. May you connect with these women and their stories to make your path a little easier.
