Critic reviews

Really practical . . . guidance on the habits you fall into that aren’t helping you achieve the success you deserve. It’s fascinating. (Lorraine Candy)
How Women Rise is a great read for any woman who wants to identify self-defeating behaviors that are holding her back, gain insight into why she engages in those behaviors, and develop skills to confidently achieve her goals. (Lois P. Frankel, author of Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office)
Sally and Marshall give new meaning to the term ‘dream team’. Together they have produced a masterpiece, an over-the-moon but magnificently down-to-earth leadership book for the ages. (Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence)

Really enjoyed listening to this audiobook as part of our book club. It’s full of practical strategies to help yourself succeed and focused on women specifically. Found it enlightening - sometimes challenging when self reflecting but that’s a good thing.

I am going to listen to this book, again and again. I am also planning to share it with all my lady-clients who come to me for coaching.

What did you like best about this story?

I've just finished listening to this book, and I must say: it says it all about the position of a woman in the workplace. I highly recommend it to every lady out there, who wants to succeed and win the game.

In 2022 there are an increasing number of books that are written for women and by women (partially true in this case). I might have partially identified with the context or the author's personality, but the amount of insight and overlap is refreshing, compared to the amount of energy I needed to input to draw personalized knowledge from male-focused books.

I liked the book. I've found myself 'guilty' of many of the 12 habits exposed. Acknowledgment is the first step in producing change. It is not a 'perfect' book, but there are perspectives that didn't cross my mind before.

Good insights on leadership roles
