Praise for InnovateHERs

“As a two-time founder and CEO myself, I can attest that the entrepreneurial journey is unique to each of us. The mindset to succeed and forge one’s path through all types of setbacks and challenges is tough for anyone, particularly for a female entrepreneur. This book inspires and guides by telling the stories of a diverse set of women who have not only developed the mindset, but used it to succeed in brilliant and diverse ways.”– Coco Brown, CEO, The Athena Alliance

“Aspiring CEOs will get a lot out of InnovateHERs:…even hims. A startup’s purpose is more than a slogan, and making it an integral part of your practice will make your long nights and weekends–and those of your entire team–easier to take and more likely to pay off.” — John Katzman, CEO, Noodle

“The future is female—and it’s purpose-driven women that will keep the planet safe, habitable, and prosperous for all. Kathy and Bobbi have combined their entrepreneurial spirit to create InnovateHERs, a book that every young woman should read. It’s the curriculum for the future.” –Tom Vander Ark CEO, Getting Smart Author: Difference Making at the Heart of Learning

“Barbara Kurshan and Kathy Hurley have written a book about entrepreneurial women who remind us that using your gifts in the service of others is something all of us can foster in our workplaces and our communities. One inspiring story after another, this is a great book about great women.” – Jack Lynch, CEO and President, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

“There are many books that delve deep into how to succeed as an entrepreneur, but most are written by men, for men. InnovateHERs provides a much-needed roadmap for the female entrepreneurial mindset, telling the stories of a diverse set of women who have not only developed the mindset, but used it to succeed in brilliant ways. It’s a must-read for anyone looking to support women in building successful companies!” — Kate Eberle Walker, CEO of Presence Learning, Author of The Good Boss

“With so much emphasis placed on cultivating the entrepreneurial mindset, it took this book to remind me that this mindset for women and people of color, may be different than the celebrated norm. This book bears witness to character traits that, when hyper-focused on purpose-driven objectives, have the power to change lives and to change the world.” – Angela Nelson, CEO, Stages Learning
