Part self-help guide, part master class in survival skills for life and work, Lift As You Climb examines what sisterhood looks like today, asks what you can do to make things better for other women and considers how to do that without disadvantaging yourself.

It's the ultimate confidence bible for women planning careers in an ever-changing and uncertain world. And it addresses one of the biggest issues women face in the workplace - how to be ambitious without losing your sense of self. It must be possible, right?

Full of brilliant tips and invaluable insights, it's everything you need to know about making life better for yourself - without making it worse for others.
