This is not just a book for women. It’s also for the men in our lives who
care, value, and respect our contributions. Use this book as a conversation
starter for those whose opinions you value and whose support you need.
It’s meant for dialogue. Conversations must happen between women at
work, conversations with women friends in different fields, conversations
with male coworkers, and conversations with friends. Finally, this book is
meant to start a conversation with yourself. Don’t push this book aside.

For women, being well educated and competent is often not enough to
achieve career success.
In her book Breakthrough, Saundra Stroope presents contemporary
mythology versus reality, giving thoughtful insights into what gets us stuck.
From our work in leadership and executive development, I’m convinced
that knowing what to expect of ourselves and others can increase career
success and satisfaction. This book is an excellent development tool for
working women and the people who sustain them.
It takes a lot longer to learn from experience than to tap into the
wisdom Saundra Stroope condenses in her book. If you are embarking on
a new career, getting promoted, changing careers, or staying put, reading
this book will make life easier.
