Jo's book helps all of us begin where we are, with a thought-provoking and practical process that helps identify our leadership strengths, develop a leader’s mindset, and ultimately own the trajectory of our career." — Carmen Twillie Ambar , president of Oberlin College "Jo Miller gets it exactly right. You establish yourself as a leader by being clear about what you authentically have to offer and then translating your strengths in a way that compels notice. This self-marketing matters as much as all the hard work and heavy lifting you do, which is why Jo’s book is essential for women seeking to navigate a satisfying path forward." — Sally Helgesen , author of How Women Rise, The Female Advantage , and The Web of Inclusion "Your performance does not speak for itself. That is what I tell women leaders when they negotiate for job opportunities they want and deserve. You have to make your value visible in a currency that has value to the person you want to negotiate with. Jo Miller devotes an entire chapter to this challenge and offers practical advice, with clear examples, of how women leaders can use their accomplishments to make their value visible to get what they want and deserve." — Deborah M. Kolb, PhD, author of Negotiating at Work , named by Time, Inc . as one of the best negotiation books of 2015 "If you’ve ever attended one of Jo’s leadership programs, you’ll know why she receives off-the-charts reviews. Now, Woman of Influence gives professional women everywhere access to her guiding principles for leading with influence." — Sarah Alter , president & CEO of Network of Executive Women "Professional women, especially those in technical roles like me have a burning desire but an uphill battle to leave a legacy of technical brilliance and integrity. Jo Miller's Woman of Influence is a groundbreaking guide that I recommend to all professional women who are ready to take the next step in establishing themselves as leaders, influencers, and role models." — Serpil Bayraktar , distinguished engineer, founder of Cisco Women in Tech, and global chair of Women in Science and Engineering at Cisco  “If you’re just getting started in your career, feel stalled in your current position, or can’t figure out what’s holding you back, Woman of Influence is
