Paperback. Condition: Good. Anyone who can make it to shore, can make it there.The author, through her writing, assumes the heartfelt role of the empathy-driven woman in her vision who spurs those who are grief-stricken on to a sunnier day.In her vision, a beautiful, sturdy ship of passengers who enjoy lives untroubled by the trauma of death, suddenly crumples. Unable to bear the weight of distress as passengers lose loved ones, it caves in. The passengers are then catapulted off the ship into unfamiliar waters of grief.The woman in the vision stands drenched and traumatized on a shoreline, seeing the anguished people in the chilly waters. She has just survived those waters. She furiously throws ropes, life jackets, and whatever God has given to her and yells words of encouragement not to give up. On the shore behind her stand buildings with peace and warmth flowing from them. Anyone who makes it to the shore can also make it there.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. You've heard of the glass ceiling.It's the barrier holding women back from breaking through to the highest echelons of corporate America. A few women are promoted to those power seats, but the realm of leadership in America's top companies remains mostly male--and mostly white.If striving for success in that reality weren't daunting enough, some women face an additional barrier: the black ceiling.That's the barricade blocking African Americans from ascending into the top levels of corporate leadership, especially in certain industries where the statistics for female and black representation are discouraging.Think about how difficult and disheartening it might seem as a black woman aspiring to excel and transcend to a corporate leadership position through the glass ceiling and the black ceiling in the historically white male energy industry.We are five African American female executives who have achieved all of the above.Our objective is to offer our lives and our careers as inspirational blueprints for other women and people of color who aspire to leadership positions in the corporate arena.We have blazed new trails in the energy industry by shattering ceilings. However, much work remains. The low representation of women and people of color at the helm of corporate leadership requires a strong commitment to persevering past the many obstacles that can delay and derail a career.That is why we convened on the pages of this book to show that, Yes, it can be done We show it through: our own personal belief systems; networking with other women and people of color in our industry; receiving guidance from mentors; committing long hours to our jobs; relocating when opportunity knocked; pursuing our education and training to propel us on an upward trajectory in our field; and celebrating the successes as they come.About the AuthorsJoyce Hayes Giles is an energy industry executive with over 35 years of experience transforming organizations' customer and philanthropic performance.
