Driven. Shy. Leader. Wife. Mother. We live in a world of categories — labels designed to tell the world, and ourselves, who we are and ought to be. Some we may covet, others we may fear or disdain; but creating a life that's truly your own, means learning to define yourself on your own terms.
In Beyond the Label, Maureen Chiquet charts her unlikely path from literature major to global chief executive. Sharing the inklings, risks and (re)defining moments that have shaped her exemplary career, Chiquet seeks to inspire a new generation of women, liberal arts grads, and unconventional thinkers to cultivate a way of living and leading that is all their own.
Through vivid storytelling and provocative insights, Chiquet guides readers to consider the pressing questions and inherent paradoxes of creating a successful, fulfilling life in today's increasingly complex and competitive world.
"Why should we separate artfrombusiness, feelingsfrom logic, intuitionfrom judgment?"Chiquet poses. "Who decided you can't be determinedand flexible, introspectiveand attuned, motherand top executive? And where does it state standing unflinchingly in your vulnerability, embracing your femininity, won't make you stronger?"
Wise, inspiring, and deeply felt, Beyond the Labelis for anyone who longs for a life without limits on who she is or who she will become.
