Women Mentoring Women: ​​Strategies and Stories to Lift As We Rise (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798885041263)

"Women make up only 8% of Fortune 500 CEOs."

In the 21st century, women make up half of the workforce, have access to the same educational channels, and have proven that they are just as talented and capable as their male counterparts, yet women are barely moving the meter at the executive level. Why is that?

Women Mentoring Women addresses a primary issue that author Michelle Renaldo Ferguson believes holds women back: lack of mentorship. High-level leaders have the knowledge and expertise to assist and train lower-level professionals in business to prepare them to advance in their careers. While education plays a role in helping women land a job, understanding the business culture helps them climb the ladder of success. Women Mentoring Women lays out:

• The reasons mentorship is necessary, with real-life examples that have helped junior executives
• Explains types of partnerships and how to benefit from collaborations
• Why "selfish" mentoring should be a regular practice

If you are someone who wants to maximize your time with your company, wants to pursue a higher position, or believes you have the knowledge to help someone in a junior position, Women Mentoring Women is an invaluable resource for your library.
