Shatter the glass ceiling in stilettos
In Tread Loudly, Kristine Cherek shares her experiences as a female professional in a male-dominated culture. Through her two-decade journey as a female attorney, corporate executive, and college professor, Cherek has cultivated a plethora of wisdom and poignant guidance to share about how to persevere in the biased world of business . . . and life in general.
Cherek is here to tell you that, as women in the workforce and in broader society, you are not alone. She dispels the myth of "having it all" and uses personal stories and relatable examples to convey how you can--
-dream big,
-take risks, and
-go for what you want.
In this inspiring call to action, Cherek shines a light on the bias, gender discrimination, and inequities that women still face in the workplace. She calls on business leaders to make the changes necessary to level the playing field and invites you to join in the fight for equality.
She wants you to be empowered to demand equal treatment and speak out against wrongs. She wants you to know, believe, and live the truth that you do not have to dim your light to fit into a predetermined role in society. You not only have the power to succeed in your career, but you also have the power to change the workplace culture for women who will come after you.
