very early on in her career that there were very few business orientated self-improvement strategies to help women succeed in male dominated fields. As a result, she has now published her first book, Having It All Now: An Inspirational Journey to Becoming a Superwoman’ to arm others like her with the tools to succeed. Having It All Now was voted Best Inspirational Book 2013 by IBBF in London Parliament, and you can order your copy today directly through the website.
