Comfy Shoes and Keychains takes the most challenging aspects of leadership and not only honors struggle, but systematically lays out what stellar leadership looks like. I was inspired, equipped and motivated to elevate my own leadership along with those around me!

What a gift to women in leadership and those who aspire to lead! Carrie Hruby did a fantastic job of co-mingling key experiences and variables impacting females from both a practical and a theoretical prospective. The stories in this book are so very real and heartfelt. I felt a deep connection to women whose cultural backgrounds are different than mine. What bounds us together is a common struggle to prove ourselves as worthy and the resiliency that exists within us to overcome. I found the reading of her Comfy Shoes and Keychains to be quite therapeutic.
