Praise for No Ceiling, No Walls “Women at all career levels must incorporate the ideas in this thoughtful book on leadership. The future depends on women acknowledging that there is nothing holding them back from succeeding in business.” Vicki Donlan, author of HER TURN: Why It's Time for Women to Lead in America “Colantuono’s book provides thoughtful coaching to women leaders, whether experienced or new to the workforce. Her wise and practical advice is a must-read for individuals who are determined to reach the next level of their careers." Anne Szostak, President & CEO of Szostak Partners and former chairman and CEO Fleet Bank Rhode Island "Informed by her extensive experience , Susan Colantuono offers a refreshingly keen, sophisticated analysis of what women need to do to become leaders. This is a must-read book for women - and men - who want more women in leadership positions in America." Evelyn Murphy, author of Getting Even: Why Women Don't Get Paid Like Men and What To Do About It "No Ceiling, No Walls, is both inspirational and inspired. Practical exercises and tools offer valuable ways women can enhance their leadership skills ? for example, using the language of power to communicate the value they bring. But perhaps what makes this book so smart is the emphasis it puts on business acumen as the way for women to demonstrate that they have the “right stuff” to take on leadership roles. Aside from this being the absolute truth, it certainly makes climbing the corporate ladder more accessible.Be your own coach yourself using No Ceilings, No Walls as a guide." Carol Frohlinger, author Nice Girls Just Don't Get It and Her Place at the Table No Ceiling, No Walls "is a guide for women who...want to prosper and succeed at a much higher level....a fascinating read with plenty of wisdom to absorb, highly recommended..."
