每位想主導自己事業成功的女性必讀書！

女人，你的目標是瞄準高階職位嗎？你夢想創業卻苦於在男性宰制裡聲音不被聽見？或者你的升遷之路窒礙難行，希望學習如何晉升得更順利？該如何達成這些目標又不犧牲家庭、不放棄女性價值？——到底該如何挪出這些時間？

生涯顧問教練Phanella Mayall Fine與時尚雜誌記者Alice Olins這對好友合組 「女人向前走俱樂部」（Step Up Club），舉辦工作坊與分享會，與在職業上有企圖心、有想法、有疑惑的女性彼此激勵、成長，將寶貴洞見融貫於這本獨樹一格的女性勵志書。

本書目的並非空泛地「打倒男人」，儘管開篇的統計數據指出，英國富時百大CEO（FTSE 100 CEO）裡，男性僅是名叫約翰的就比全部入選的女性多。但作者強調一個重要的中心價值：你要定義屬於自己的「成功」（並不是每個人都需要當CEO！）。此外，本書鼓勵女人自我省察、對個人的企圖心與感覺保持開放的態度，從中獲得力量。擁抱身為女人的獨特性，擁抱改變的可能性，因為改變讓你飛翔！

《Step Up》融合這兩位傑出職業女性激勵人心的故事、當頭棒喝般的適時生涯建議，與每天10分鐘的職涯鍛鍊操。這些多樣化的職涯目標練習（每天十分鐘，每週一種新技能），可能是建立社交人脈（networking）或學習運用他人的影響，全書風格活潑，貼近女性經驗而深具實用與啟發性，幫助女性的職業生涯進展得更順暢更篤定，夢想的成功不再遙不可及。
