It’s one of the most dreaded concepts for many career women: the glass ceiling. Its the concept that, despite all your natural talent, all the skills that you’ve developed and all the work you have done and will ever do, you can only go so far in your career.

In Kick Some Glass, authors Jennifer Martineau and Portia Mount dissects the barriers that women face during their climb up the corporate ladder -from both past and present perspectives as well as external and internal orientations – to enable budding women leaders to break through and make their mark in their fields.

I deeply appreciated the opportunity to read and review this book. I'll be using it's contents in my teaching and will make sure to keep an eye out for more works from this author and publisher.

I was excited to begin reading Kick Some Glass - 10 Ways Women Succeed At Work On Their Own Terms. While I do think it offered good insights on the road blocks women run in to when working hard to reach their full potential, I felt the book itself took way to many pages to accomplish its goal. There were many lines I plan to revisit and really absorb into my daily routine, however I could have done without all of the examples of women and how they broke their glass ceiling. Overall, great concept but too lengthy.
