I am just now 25 years old and this book is peeling back so many layers of understanding. I have bought a few books in the past about women in the workplace (nice girls, etc.) which have lost me within just a few chapters because I didn't feel like they were talking about me - who I really am. But "Climbing The Ladder In Stilettos" is just the opposite. By the time I was done with the first chapter I knew that this was a book that would be well worth my time from start to finish. The purpose statement exercise and the concept of being an `agent of wholeness' have really stuck with me. Now halfway through the book I am already thinking of reading it a second time to pick up on all of the concepts that I am not getting the first time through. There is so much relevant and helpful material here.

I wish this book existed when I first started on my career 20 years ago as a financial services executive. FINALLY, Lynette is leveraging her seminars to show professional woman of any age how to integrate their work and personal lives. It isn't just about success. It's about satisfaction.

She's warm, funny,incredibly smart, wise and she's been through the storms. No one can say it the way Lynette can. Anyone starting a new job, any college student just about to graduate, any human resource person who needs to understand the hearts and minds of capable, professional, aspiring women needs to read this book. It should become a part of every professional woman's permanent library.
