This is a great book for women who want to be heard, want to influence and who want to get on with leading without having to resort to more 'male' behaviours to do so....I really wish this book existed some years back...

It is jam packed with practical strategies and troubleshooting ideas that women, as leaders, can use on a daily basis to help with challenges they face in the workplace, decision making, improving your influencing skills and to help build confidence. This books has been written from the heart and Carla's own leadership experience and passion to make an impact shines through.

I appreciated this realistic approach to guidance for female leaders in the workplace, especially those who are newly promoted or just starting their journey in management. I found the advice and point of view to be realistic, but not patronizing.

No complex theories, or tricky small print to navigate, instead practical, actionable and effective advice.

This book shares some incredibly practical advice that I think most people can implement relatively easily to help progress their careers.
Great read, not preachy in any way as I have found some leadership books, and one I've recommended to others.

The hard-hitting introduction of this book perfectly summarises the harm that the Influence Gap is having, not only to women in the workplace but on organisations globally. And it's this challenge of gender inequality that the author aims to help women to navigate through this practical and punchy guide

Giving women a how to manage leadership in a male dominated world. Great read for some practical tips to get busy, to be heard and to get recognition.
