In Her Own Voice

A Woman's Rise to CEO: Overcoming Hurdles to Change the Face of Leadership

By: Jennifer McCollum

Narrated by: Jennifer McCollum

The world has awakened to the urgent need to focus on women's advancement-companies with gender-balanced leadership are far more likely to outperform their peers, and the evolving expectations of leadership align to women's natural strengths. But we're nowhere near achieving that equity. Less than 10 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs are women, and the pace of growth is shockingly slow, made worse by COVID-19 and its aftermath.

What does it take for women to ascend permanently into leadership roles? In Her Own Voice sheds some light on this timely topic. Based on twenty-five years of research, Jennifer McCollum offers sage advice for the unique hurdles facing women in business, from contending with our own inner critic to having to navigate the often-intimidating world of negotiating for ourselves.

In Her Own Voice outlines the key competencies and action steps to overcome these obstacles. Backed with data and infused with compelling real-life stories, it's a blueprint for helping listeners identify, measure, and conquer what's holding women back at any stage of their careers.

Bravo!

As a woman very far from a CEO position, I found it very easy to relate to Jennifer’s story as a woman, as a mom, as a survivor of working through the pandemic. It is a great book on the struggles of women without being preachy. Bravo!
