Reviews:
Lisson’s inspiring memoir shares her hard-won insights on surviving devastating personal loss as well as on how to succeed as a woman in the corporate world … Lisson had humble beginnings and started work at the bottom of the corporate ladder. What set her apart from others, she writes, was her constant determination to do better, to increase her scope of knowledge, and to watch carefully and learn from others’ mistakes. Her story of breaking through the glass ceiling will inspire other women to aim higher, strategize more carefully, and reach their full potential, too. – Publishers Weekly
