Overview

What happens when a girl from the slums dares to dream? She bags an engineering degree and an executive education from Harvard Business School, she becomes a leader in the telecommunications industry, and she mentors other girls and women to do the same. In Be Fearless: Give Yourself Permission to Be You, Jane Egerton-Idehen draws from her more than 15 years of experience as a telecommunication executive in West Africa to help women build lasting careers, especially in the male-dominated STEM industries. Rising from the slums of Ajegunle in Lagos, Nigeria, to brokering million-dollar deals for global telecom giants, hers is a story of hope, of challenging traditional gender roles, and of embracing who you are. This is a book about women for women, as well as the men who love, nurture, support, and work with them at home and in the office.
