A must-read book for any gender equality advocate who wants to transform workplace culture and inspire more successful stories Maria Kalli AMIChemE - The Chemical Engineer.com
Lively and engaging. Neal deftly communicates the insidious nature of many of the factors leading women to exit STEM and sets out achievable ways for organisations to ensure that all of their employees are heard and valued. Penny Horwood - Computing
Lauren takes us through with various cases dissecting real life scenarios and how we could react to them - and do the right thing to let our teams flourish and thrive. I recommend this book for all professionals who want to reach a higher level of people management. Amazon
Although this book is aimed at the STEM industry, it is applicable across all areas of industry, and a lot of lessons can be learned from it...this book is a real eye-opener for both men and women and a great resource for brining about positive change and moving forward in the best way possible. Very enjoyable and inspiring! Amazon
A must-read for anyone hoping to work in or create the best culture at work and to succeed in business but also to succeed at looking after colleagues. Amazon
(A) great insight or spotlight for the problems and situations women deal with in STEM. However, I think everyone will see a familiar situation they have been in or witnessed at work. The message to managers to get to know all their team members or employees and that making everyone feel seen and appreciated is extremely important. - Amazon
