For women over 50, this invaluable guide combines practical advice, exercises, and no shortage of sass that will inspire listeners to beat ageist limitations and own their careers.

Wondering why the pay gap exists? Unfortunately, as a woman, you have to ask for money in a very specific way. So as to avoid the social backlash. But it’s ok to be afraid but just start negotiating.

Women define career success in a wide variety of ways. But whatever a woman's personal definition, if she is in a traditionally male-dominated career - virtually all high status, highly compensated fields - her career is at risk because of pervasive gender stereotypes. This highly practical book makes clear that women don't need to change who they are to succeed in their chosen careers, and they certainly don't need to act more like men.

Women are taking up their rightful place in the leadership of business and politics, even though disparity still persists with only 33 of the Fortune 500 companies having female CEOs. Can you help change the world of leadership and join the echelons of female leadership? Following, developing, and creating strong examples of female leaders have never been more relevant or important in all spheres of life than in our modern world.

If there’s one thing history has taught us, it's this: wild women may not always follow the rules, but they sure know how to lead! Wild Women Make the Best Leaders is not just a book; it's a comprehensive guide that digs deep to unearth the untamed qualities of leadership. Now, before you think we're going on a feminist rant about how women are superior beings and men are just dolts bumbling around, rest assured this is an inclusive celebration! It’s about honoring the 'wild woman' spirit in all of us, irrespective of gender.

It’s time to stop second-guessing yourself and start building the qualities that will make you an authentic, amazing leader. In the past century, women have scaled new heights in the workplace. From working as clerks and secretaries in the 1950s, women today are now holding top positions in the world’s largest corporations. Yet, women remain vastly underrepresented in leadership roles, making up only five percent of Fortune 500 CEOs, and 10 percent of top management positions in S&P 1500 companies, despite accounting for 47 percent of the labor workforce.

Empowering women empowers everyone. Women with confidence, equal pay, and leadership opportunity enrich workplace culture and help the whole organization. The first step is understanding that gender balance is not a zero-sum game. The Next Smart Step is a clear, assured guide to understanding the challenge of gender imbalance, implementing solutions, and equipping listeners with the tools we all need to ensure change that is positive and enduring. It is about all of us becoming leaders.
