challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

A highly relatable and personal account of some of the injustices in the workplace, perfectly balanced with real stories and end of chapter checklists for success. An important book for both for empowering womxn and allies in the workplace alike. 

This book was equally eye-opening and thought-invoking. I have finished the book feeling inspired to ask my Managing Director for 'that' opportunity, to better my own work experience and of my team. This book has subconsciously taught me more about managing a team in a few hours than a mentor has in a couple of years.

Kiner draws from personal experiences and interviews with womxn to demonstrate key points throughout. The book is broken down into two sections. Part one highlights the stories of inspiring womxn, providing background information as well as an insight into their individual journey. A clear effort has been made to be inclusive of womxn with different backgrounds and experiences including LBGTQIA+ and BIPOC. Part two covers specific workplace issues in more depth and provides checklists for improvement at the end of each chapter for reflection.

Whilst this audiobook was not narrated by the author of the book, Eickhoff does a fantastic job of bringing the book to life and gives the listener the feeling of taking part in a conference, lecture, or even a podcast. The pacing was good and each chapter separated clearly.

Having enjoyed the audiobook and consequently purchased an ebook copy, I believe that this book is best suited to print or ebook in order to fully appreciate the end of chapter checklists, quotes, and tips. Ideal for highlighting and future referencing!

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher, Greenleaf, for this free audiobook for review.
