For nearly 30 years, I have worked all over the world to empower women. From Bangledesh to Boston, from Calcutta to Cancun, from Nairobi to New York, I have seen that when women succeed, flourish and find their rightful role in any society, everyone benefits and things really work. This book is timely, effective and groundbreaking. There could be nothing more crucial to the 21st century than the success and empowerment of women. Liz is an experienced coach, consultant and leader who know what she's talking about and has written with clarity and accessibility about how to effectively succeed.
