Description
A sharp, funny, behind-the-scenes look at proving yourself in a high-stakes corporate culture while quietly panicking on the inside.
"Raw, funny, and painfully honest. Patty Azzarello doesn't just tell you what it's like to be an ambitious woman in a male-dominated corporate world: she makes you feel it. This book is not just a memoir, it's a survival manual for anyone who's ever felt like an outsider in a room they fought hard to enter. Essential reading for future leaders with a soul."
-- Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, author of Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders?
"This isn't just a book -- it's a gift. It feels alive. It's funny, piercing, generous, and deeply wise. I was hooked instantly. It's the mentor I never had. Patty tells us how to succeed in business without being a jerk, a fraud, or a doormat. I think all young women starting their careers should read it. Actually, women -- and men -- of all ages should read it too."
-- Danny Gregory, author of The Creative License, Art Before Breakfast, and Shut Your Monkey
"A celebration of introversion! Patty's book is a must-read for ambitious but anxious people who always seem to be on the outside looking in. With good humor and surprising candor, she demonstrates how keen observation, 'introvert listening,' and willful participation can lead to a seat at the table and benefit the corporate bottom line too. The author's improbable journey from scared little girl to highly effective CEO is relatable and insightful in equal measure."
-- Dr. Frances K. DelBoca, Social Psychologist
With warmth and clarity, Patty Azzarello shares the true story of her extraordinary rise through the male-dominated tech industry. Why Is SHE Still Here? is an insightful, candid, and unexpectedly vulnerable memoir -- not just about the promotions and boardroom wins, but also the awkward meetings, serious outfits, sex and violence, and deeply human moments that shaped her leadership journey.
This is not a how-to book. It's a how-it-felt book -- about ambition, imposter syndrome, anxiety, and the constant pressure to prove yourself in a world where you are undervalued simply because you have boobs.
If you've ever doubted your place at the table or felt too nervous to go after your dreams, Patty's story will give you the encouragement you need to pull up a chair anyway.
