Contents
Acknowledgments

For both of us, this book is the culmination of a lifetime of learning, experimenting, and figuring out what works and what doesnt. During that lifetime, there have been many people who have nurtured us in business and life, sponsored us, and generously shared their insights, knowledge, and experience so we wouldnt have to repeat their mistakes. Some were intentional advisors, and others influenced us without even realizing it. To everyone who has been part of our life journeys and made us who we are, we thank you so much.

The path to publication is filled with serendipitous coincidences and intentional planning. A great number of people touched our lives during this processsometimes we reached out to them, and sometimes they just showed up in our lives at the right time.

It all started with three people we had known for many years: Dr. Gwen Martin, Juanita Weaver, and Bruce Rosenthal. Their long-term encouragement, support, and connections made this book possible and made it much the richer.

Then Tamara Monosoff and Lillian Lincoln came into our lives and shared their experiences as authors so we would know what to expect and how to avoid the potential pitfalls.

We even enrolled our families. Lauras son Chris Willcox read the manuscript, asked us probing questions, and cleaned up our writing. He has been as committed to the success of the book as we are. Sharons sister, Susan Hadary, advised us on branding and marketing.

Along the way, both longtime friends and new friends came into our lives exactly when we most needed them. Richard Dick Falcone read our manuscript and helped shape the final book. Eve Benton, George Jug Courlas, Becky Eason, Hope Eastman, Lee Frederickson, Marie Friedman, Sandy McDougall, Ellyn McKay, Eric Organesoff, Susan Peterson, Sharon Pinder, Bob Rosen, Detta Voesar, and Susan Wranik brought us connections, provided insightful advice and guidance, and encouraged us along the way.

There were a number of highly successful women business owners and leaders whom we interviewed for background knowledge. They gave us powerful insights into what it takes to be a successful leader and encouraged us at every step. Our thanks to Jennifer Bisceglie, Faye Coleman, Kathleen Diamond, Judy Penski, Kathy Smith and Kara Trout. Your insights, vision, and enthusiasm influenced this book more than we can tell you. Megan Pearlman added the perspective of a young, rising leader.

Special recognition must go to our agent, Jessica Faust, who believed in our vision, taught us about the publishing business, encouraged and advised us, and kept us going.

At McGraw-Hill, we are fortunate to have our diligent and capable editor, Stephanie Frerich, who has shepherded our book through the process, and the talented editing team headed by Scott Kurtz.

The book would never have made it to the publisher without the technical and administrative support of Elise Dearborn and Abby Lindberg. These two young women are future leaders.

Although Lauras friend and mentor, Jack Rennie, is no longer with us, the lessons he taught us and his enthusiasm for life and business are reflected in everything we have written.

The Women Leaders Interviewed for This Book

We especially want to thank the 15 women who believed in our project, took time out of their very busy schedules to talk with us about what they had learned about building a successful life, answer our follow-up questions, and cheer us on.
