Priceless advice from trailblazing women
By Ronnie Cohen and Katherine Elllison
Recommended for ages 9 and up
What do you
want to be when you grow up? Here’s a fun and inspiring book to read while you
dream about your future. Forty women who are leaders in all kinds of different
careers and industries are included. Their struggles and accomplishments are
highlighted, and their advice is showcased. Learn practical tips, and stretch
your imagination about a world of opportunities to consider. The information is
great for girls and for boys.
So many of
the people featured began their success before they became adults, acting on
their personal interests and strengths. They found that there was a need for
what they had to offer, and they were able to find a way to supply their
products or their services in the marketplace. This book shows how others have
turned their interests into a career. It offers suggestions on how to build a
strong network. It’s encouraging how these successful women showcase ways that
they learned from setbacks. And it’s exciting to read examples where charity
has been incorporated into a business model.
Just take a
look at a sample of some of the leaders who are included: Bridget Hilton -
Founder of LSATN Sound Co., Judy Faulkner – Founder and CEO of Epic Systems,
Tavi Gevinson – Founder and editor-in-chief of Rookie Find Your Voice, J. K.
Rowling – Author, Rachel Zietz – Founder and CEO of Gladiator Lacrosse, Taylor
Swift – Singer Songwriter, Joy Mangano – Inventor, founder and President of
Ingenious Designs, and so many more. Who are these women? What do they do and
what secrets to success are they happy to share? You’ll have fun meeting them
on the pages of Girl CEO and deciding
what ideas you’d like to try. Then, take action and see what you can do. Share
