Is it Nature? Is it Nurture? Is it Habit? Can it be Taught?

Let me say right off the top that I Love Working Women! Women who wake up every morning, shoulder the responsibilities for themselves, their families, their extended families and friends, their workplace and their colleagues and SHINE! Women are the economic engines of our communities. They are the ones that keep the paper moving, deliver exceptional service, nurture clients and colleagues, craft new strategies and align people and projects, all the while remembering to send a birthday greeting to a friend. Women are on the rise both in the workforce (more women employees today than men) and in the political arena (taking the voice of the people to government) and our society is going to be better as a result.It is because women are rising in workforce that the conundrum of same adversity; different results, needs to be addressed.Over the years I have met women I now call Lemon Crushers. Women who had extreme adversity in their life, but, the adversity did not destroy them. In fact, as a result of the crisis in their life, these women crushed their lemons and made lemonade.This book unveils to you common traits these women all shared and the strategy that you can implement in your life to experience the same successes TODAY.Join me as we celebrate, and become, Lemon Crushers!
