Be it your mom, grandmother, aunt or mother-in-law, I will bet there have been some amazing women in your life who have helped you grow into all you are today. This book is about those women.
Who is the best mentor you ever knew?
Who has taught you the most about leadership?
Years ago, Michelle Yozzo Drake asked herself those very questions. As she searched for the best examples of leadership, she discovered the answer right in front of her: it was Mom!
It was Mom – and all the mother figures in her life – who provided the tools Michelle needed to succeed in her life and career, who taught her what it really means to be a leader. Mom taught her priceless lessons that no one else has come close to matching:
- How to negotiate for results
- How to communicate with clarity and purpose
- How to lead no matter where you stand in the group
- How to groom teams to achieve greatness
- How to mentor the next generation of leaders
Can the perfect loaf of bread provide a lesson in leadership?
Can a Thanksgiving meal provide insight into organizational structure?
Mom thinks so!
Michelle applies these lessons every day as she coaches others to be outstanding leaders. Corporate leadership is due for an infusion of the time-honored traditions only Mom can provide. Mom’s wisdom – to move forward we often need to look back.

A master story-teller, Michelle couples inspiring and heartwarming stories of ‘mother’s wisdom’ with practical, accessible, and real world leadership applications. By sharing the wisdom of mothers in a distinctly feminine tone, this book goes beyond the standard male-oriented leadership books to provide a unique voice that readers who are women professionals, managers and executives will find speaks to them and for them in a powerful way.”

In a world where there's arguably too much information but not enough that truly informs, this book is an eye-opener.”
