Upward by Bridgett McGowen-Hawkins (Paperback)

The Third-Place Winner of a Fall 2023 BookFest Award in the Women in Business category!

Upward is a book every businesswoman who dreams of holding a leadership position should read because it will answer questions such as ...

• Do you wonder how to overcome challenges in the workplace that hold you back from your leadership goals?
• Do you wish you could ask current women in leadership how they did it?

The compilers of Upward, Simone E. Morris, and Bridgett McGowen-Hawkins, have done the footwork for you and have gotten the answers. Both women, leaders in their respective fields in their own right, have reached out to more than 20 women who currently hold leadership roles in various businesses and asked them to share their stories. Each chapter is written by a female business leader sharing her struggles and some of the challenges she faced as she made her way in the business world. In addition, each chapter advises the next generation of women on how to best work toward achieving their leadership goals. From this book, you will learn from women already in these positions what you need to do to achieve your leadership goals. For every woman who strives to be a leader and role model for other women, Upward is the handbook to use for success.
