I have read many business books over the years from the 7 Habits to Dare to Lead. What I really liked about this book is that it hit home on so many levels in regards to being a woman advancing through an industry that is very male dominated. Many of the concepts here I have gleaned over the years through different writers, teachers and experience but I have found, tend to get lost in the noise of work and forgotten. They are all summarized here as a reminder, with some exciting additions and are provided in a very straight forward read, with humor and with great examples and ideas on how to handle certain situations. I have many pages earmarked and wished I would have had this book back in the late 90's.

I have never enjoyed a business read this much. Jamie will help you remove the word "sorry" from your professional vocabulary, embrace your superpowers, experience Brave-Ah-Na, and win when the communication stakes are high. Jamie successfully conveys her face-to face animated personality, presence, poise and voice in these pages. I wish I could have had it 25 years ago!

This book is a powerful book with very practical actions you can take to help boost your confidence...and help other women around you soar. Jamie's stories will make you laugh and illustrate the various points she makes in the book.

Whether you are a seasoned business woman or a young one just starting out, this is a great resource to help you hold your head a little higher and be the "Shero" you are designed to be!!

I enjoyed reading this book and really trying to apply Jamie's thoughts and recommendations to my personal and professional life. Especially after meeting Jamie and hearing her speak, I think I was better able to understand her perspective. I did think the book hopped around a bit and could have better flow, but I still loved the concepts she brings to the table.
