Strong Suit: Leadership Success Secrets From Women on Top

Skies have never been brighter for women leaders. As the balance of power shifts to employees who demand the kind of work experience we excel at creating, glass ceilings are shattering everywhere. But women who long to rise have questions: What really goes on in the C-suite? What skills do women on top hone and deploy? What blocks their ascent? And what sacrifices do they make to get there—especially when they also have a family?

Deb Boelkes wrote Strong Suit: Leadership Success Secrets From Women on Top to answer these questions. This book—the last in a four-part series—is meant to fill the mentoring gap that holds so many women leaders back. The author’s own story, combined with the reflections of seven high-level women from various industries, yields a wealth of insights. You’ll learn how to:

• Identify and leverage your innate superpowers—aka your strong suits—and those of your team
• Strike the balancing act of staying open to new opportunities while holding firm to personal brand
• Cultivate a network of meaningful connections with trusted peers as well as leaders outside your industry
• Master the mindset shifts, emotional minefields, and tricky logistics that come with being a working mother

Brimming with tips, tactics, and introspections—and featuring a special section on career and motherhood–this book will resonate with women at every stage. It’s perfect for students charting an educational path, women at mid-career exploring their next move, and seasoned leaders who are still on the journey of pursing their callings and crafting a life lived without regrets.
