by Carolyn M. Brown (Author), Michelle Gadsden-Williams (Author)

Winner of the African American Literary Awards Show's Best Self-Help Award for 2018

"Inspiring . . . Sections addressing how corporate diversity and equality efforts have either succeeded and failed are necessary reading." --Publishers Weekly

Renowned as a diversity and inclusion strategist, Gadsden-Williams held C-Suite positions at major organizations for many years . . . and then took the off-ramp to probe a different career path, launching Ceiling Breakers LLC, with the primary goal to help women and professionals of color reach their full potential. As a woman of color and corporate executive who has worked and traveled the world for several Fortune 500 companies--all while managing a chronic illness--she provides insight into overcoming the barriers facing professionals in today's workplace.

In Climb, Gadsden-Williams combines her inspirational life story with pragmatic solutions to address problems facing women in corporate America, offering a professional playbook for tackling today's most pressing workplace issues.
