Set a vision, strategy, and plan for their careers
Learn who they are, what they offer, and how to tell their stories
Seek and act on feedback to guide their paths
Prepare and practice for the best outcomes
Enlist help and support from others

Chock full of strategies, stories, and practical skills, this book will hasten a woman's progress and impact as a professional woman and liberate her to excel in her career on her own terms.
