Unifying Experience

The women in this book were brought together through one unifying experience, corporate governance education at the Harvard Business School. With hearts like warriors they ascended as leaders, sometimes in the face of great struggle and setbacks and still, they pressed on.  Finding their kindred spirits, they united to advance the state of women on boards and senior executive positions. 

You’re Not Alone

These women are sharing their personal struggles and how they overcame them, because they want you to know that you are not alone.  When your work and life are especially difficult and challenging, and you feel like truly giving up, you can lean on the strength and enduring wisdom of those who have gone before you. You can keep charging, keep leading, and keep getting back up.
