It is an important time to celebrate the advancement of women. The number of women entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders in corporate leadership roles is growing. However, there are still many challenges women face that are different from those of their male counterparts. Women sometimes have beliefs or career myths that may interfere with their personal career satisfaction and success. The book is based on the input and advice gathered from of over 200 women across the globe. A survey of more than 180 women, interviews with over a dozen influential women in leadership and professional roles, and group meetings were conducted from January to March 2018. The women validated career myths that have an impact on their satisfaction at work and career success.
