'As I read the many stories so artfully captured in
The Courage to Advance, I could not help but think of my own mother's struggle to succeed as Physician in a Navy town in the late 1960s. Like so many of the leaders profiled in this book, she persevered through countless challenges and setbacks and paved the way for future generations of leaders in the process. One cannot help but be inspired by the courage, humility, and tenacity of the special women profiled in these stories.'
Christian Brickman, CEO, Sally Beauty Holdings'It's often through hearing the stories of others that we come to the best moments of clarity in our own. Women leaders are courageous and resilient, fully capable of making sense and success of the world around them. We adapt, and we also lead change. All with grace, humility, and vulnerability. In this book are thirty-six stories of proof.'
Coco Brown, founder and CEO, Athena Alliance, Inc.'
