Joann is the new author of Earning It: Hard-Won Lessons from Trailblazing Women at the Top of the Business World. In this book, she interviews women who have achieved great success in the professional world. Two-thirds of the women interviewed for this book are senior executives. All of the women have fascinating stories to share about climbing the corporate ladder and helpful advice for the next generation following in their footsteps.
This conversation will provide a lot of insight into what it takes for women to be successful in a male-dominated arena. Top management roles are still primarily held by men, but women are making great strides in leveling the playing field. We can learn so much from the success of these driven women and my conversation with Joann will shine a light on key actions that those interested in reaching the corner office should keep in mind.
