OverviewBecoming an executive is no easy task. Becoming a female executive is something else altogether. How can the ambitious woman excel, advance, and thrive with thousands of years of history working against her and in seemingly male-dominated industries? Through her own inspiring journey from employee to powerful female executive, Robin Toft couples the wisdom she gleaned at the boardroom table as an executive with over a decade of experience in executive search as Founder and CEO of the award-winning Toft Group. No matter where you are on your executive journey, Robin Toft will move you to action and empower you as a trusted partner through every aspect of your career advancement. Part manual and part memoir, WE CAN will provide you with the confidence, language, and tools to design and realize the career of your dreams, and turn inspiration into action--from landing the job to making vertical moves and securing your own seat at the boardroom table.
