“Elevating Women Leaders is an outstanding guide for women leaders and prospective leaders (and fathers of daughters, men who are not "table-blockers," and men who want to collaborate effectively with women leaders). Through Dr. Perryman's story of her own growth and the growth of her movement, readers see examples of overcoming obstacles and learn how to “play to win.” This book provides advice and guidance from a tested and resilient leader, whose life reflects her commitment to empowering and lifting so many others while speaking her truth.”

“The journey toward leadership is not only filled with ups and downs or the typical hills and valleys, but women encounter unusual “sharks” and are hampered by ineffective colleagues disguised as “goldfish”. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Tracee Perryman, a thought leader and successful entrepreneur, guides you into a captivating and mind-provoking strategy toward overcoming barriers. She intellectually lays the groundwork for all the challenges that are often encountered by bold and creative women. She uses her rich experiences to provide step-by-step guidelines on how to understand who you are, what challenges you are encountering, how to identify effective resources, and how you can effectively build your unique brand. She demystifies ways to recognize toxicity and how to address it, while also giving yourself permission to eliminate it from your status. Believing in yourself and the vision you want to accomplish through well-established approaches are offered. Each chapter offers the reader questions for reflection that provide pathways for future planning.

Elevating Women Leaders is an essential read for any woman embarking on a new path toward success, whether it is a leadership role, a new job, an entrepreneurial journey, this book will be one that you will keep reading again and again as each chapter indulges you to think differently about the journey.”

“Your book is a ‘ just in the nick of time ’ resource for those of us who have been around for a while and maybe changing careers, for those who are new to their career journey, and for those who are happy where they are. Learning how to ‘ love me as I am ’ and being ok with areas that are not my strong suit is a gift I am ‘re-gifting’ to myself. Although your audience is women, I feel the need to share your nuggets of truth and advice with my adult daughters and sons.

Thank you for your bravery in saying the hard stuff. Thank you for putting your thoughts and coaching out there for the world to see. And, thank you for showing all women how to just be who they are without guilt or without paying hundreds of dollars for someone to build their brand.

I am not every woman but I am me. And that’s a good thing!”
