Women Who Rise

You don't have to choose.

For far too long, women have been told that professional development and motherhood are a trade-off. That success in the boardroom means sacrifice at home. But while the path to professional excellence demands sacrifice, achieving both is not only possible-it's happening.

Drawing from over a decade of experience in business organizations that support managerial growth-and grounded in original research for her master's thesis-Rocio Izquierdo takes readers inside the real, unfiltered stories of women who've succeeded both at home and at the highest levels of leadership.

Through intimate case studies, this book reveals how these women made decisions, built leadership styles, and navigated the constant collision between ambition and care. Whether you're a business student, rising professional, policymaker, or executive, this is a practical and inspiring manual for designing a life-and a career-on your own terms.
