Here, they share wit and wisdom from some of the greatest minds in compliance, women who hail from every corner of the globe and span myriad industries and experience levels. The guidance these contributors offer and experiences they share are a breath of fresh air – both for the young professional just starting out and for the mature compliance leader with a long history in compliance and ethics. The stories are exceedingly relatable, the lessons universal.

Full disclosure, I was a contributor to this compilation. But, I genuinely love all the stories, advice and wisdom shared by all the contributors. And the way Lisa and Mary introduce each section and tie things together. This is a must read for women new to a business career and for experienced women, alike. It’s comforting, relatable, funny and “inside baseball” for women in leadership roles and challenging careers. Great gift for any woman in this area!
