Why LoA loves it…
In the Lionesses of Africa community, we talk about the importance of building our resilience levels, both in life and in business. What we like about Kim Hayden’s book, Resilient Women in Life and Business is that she shares stories and experiences from women entrepreneurs who have successfully built their own resilience over the years. It is an insightful book, particularly because when women entrepreneurs share their stories in their own voices and words, they resonate much more powerfully. This is a book with lots of useful shared insights on resilience to inspire us all. — Melanie Hawken, founder & ceo, Lionesses of Africa
