ReviewsFeatured in Parade 's The Ultimate 2019 Reading Gift Guide: 25 Books For Every Reader on Your List "Margery Kraus is an extraordinary woman who's making a positive, lasting impact and building a better world . . . She teaches us how she nurtured a beautiful, active, and engaged family while creating, building, and running a groundbreaking company. There is much we can learn from her, personally and professionally, from her unbounded optimism to her 'calibrated persis-tence.'"--Sylvia Burwell, President, American University, Secretary, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2014-2017), Director, U.S. Office of Management and Budget (2013-2014)"Kraus is a transformational leader who has proven that one can be brilliant, decent, and for-ward-thinking in life generally, and specifically in building a company that helps to prove that one can do well by doing good. Her life lessons as a wife and a mother provide a clear guide for success and leadership, which can be replicated in so many ways."--Daniel Glickman, Chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America (2004-2010), Secretary, US Department of Agriculture (1995-2001), Congressman, (Kansas 4th Con-gressional District, 1977-1995)"This is an incomparable book that combines the expertise of parenting (and grandparenting) with savvy business acumen. Too often, women believe they need to seek balance between two competing priorities--family on one side; career on the other. It's an unwinnable game that un-doubtedly leads to guilt on both ends of the scale . . . Margery's book shows us that each priority informs the other, developing skills that are applicable in both realms. Through real-life exam-ples, she illustrates how being a good business leader makes us better parents and how good par-enting delivers an invaluable skillset to the workplace. Rather than competing, the two goals work together to weave a tapestry that is both stronger and more beautiful than they are alone."--Linda McMahon, 25th Administrator, U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), Co-founder and former Chief Executive Officer of WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment)"Margery Kraus tells a story of stunning business success with passion, deep insight, and refreshing plain talk. This remarkably candid book is a roadmap for others--who want to dream big--and then find the ways to actually make it happen." --Former U.S. Senator Don Riegle, "Margery Kraus is an extraordinary woman who's making a positive, lasting impact and building a better world . . .
