A Delicious Recipe of Inspirating Stories and Down-to-Earth Great Advice

What sets this book apart and at the top of my recommendation list is the way Michelle Yozzo Drake weaves stories of her personal journey with snippets of wisdom from our mother's into practical advice for being business savvy. As a highly successful executive coach, Drake knows first hand the challenges of balancing home and work, life and play. In the midst of it all she delivers the goods - professionally and through her writing!I have experienced her coaching, which is beyond powerful, and now I have a gem of a book on my desk to come back to again and again.

Drake is a great storyteller...the mom's wisdom comes through on every page.

Drake celebrates what women bring to the workplace--the unique skills we've developed in our own feminine way. She shows us that being women brings some much needed perspectives to the office--and we shouldn't lose that perspective--we should cultivate it. The stories she shares to teach these lessons are great--moving, funny, full of life--I feel almost like part of her family reading them. My only regret is that I'm too old to be adopted into this family--I found myself longing for the holiday feasts and fun she describes as Drake described the action in Aunt Jenny's kitchen.
