The Courage To Advance

The most successful businesswomen in the world share their inspiring journeys to the top of their fields and how they overcame some of life's most difficult obstacles. This book was intended for all present and aspiring leaders, and it divulges the challenges that go unspoken by leaders. These articles feature strong, varied, and accomplished female leaders from throughout the world. They are all alumni of the Harvard Business School Women on Boards programme, a course that has evolved into a movement, and this is what brought them together. The WomenExecs on Boards network currently has approximately 130 members from 17 different countries. Organizations can use this network to discover talented, educated, and diverse women for corporate positions. After reading this book you will be inspired to lead and make a difference for others whether it's running a company or leading a division, team, project, community event or your family and home. You will discover that you already have all you need to succeed when it gets hard, to never give up, and how to keep going through life's difficult and sometimes terrible challenges. These women want you to know that you are not alone, and that you can lean on the strength of those who have gone before you, keep leading and keep getting back up again.
