Sweep all the other business books off your shelf. This is the only one you need. And it is truly the one you've been looking for all along. -Maj. General Mari K. Eder, U.S. Army, Retired Deb is spot-on here on so many topics as I found myself nodding in agreement continuously throughout the read. Chapter 4: To Thine Own Self Be True and Chapter 8: No Need to Be Lonely really hit home for me, as your personal brand speaks to your authenticity and is central to not only your beliefs and who you are at your core, but also to your future success. -Laura DiBella, Deputy Secretary of Commerce, Enterprise Florida Deb Boelkes' book is a must-read for women eager to learn, to improve, and to apply important lessons in life.

I found the thought-provoking introspections at the end of each chapter especially helpful and applicable to many aspects of leadership, from strategic planning to crafting simple emails-like adjusting tone to gain acceptance when delegating tasks. -Maria Zack, Chief Executive Officer, Quantum Solutions Software, Inc., and Chair of the Board of Directors, Nations in Action What a refreshing encouragement from pioneers who have gone before us! Too many times, women leaders conform to being and acting a certain way instead of being authentic-our personal brand is beyond important. I'm a mom of two young girls myself. In Strong Suit, Deb Boelkes uncovers the work-life balance myth because we truly have just one life. -Lindsay Hoyt, Founder and Board Chair, Cornerstone Classical Academy Strong Suit is a collection of universal business truths, not only for aspiring women on their way up, but also for women who have reached the pinnacle and understand that they can always improve their game. Had I had this information at my fingertips decades ago, my own struggle would have been far less confusing and stressful. Deb clearly demonstrates that it is never too early to plan for success and never too late to consolidate success. -Colonel Diana Craun, U.S. Army, Retired, and Director of Human Resources, WestRock No question is left unasked, and every answer is heartfelt, actionable, and startling in the sincerity of experience.
