On The Table Read Magazine, “the best entertainment eBook magazine UK“, discover how Empowering Women on the Way to the Top by Duygu Alptekin Gürsu unveils actionable strategies to shatter leadership barriers and inspire women to own their journey to the top.

Empowering Women On The Way To The Top
Women make up half the global population, yet their presence in high-level leadership roles remains strikingly sparse. From boardrooms in New York to executive suites in Nairobi, the obstacles women face are remarkably consistent, observes Duygu Alptekin Gürsu, an internationally acclaimed executive coach who has empowered women leaders across more than 50 countries.

In her bold new book, Empowering Women on the Way to the Top: A Comprehensive Guide for Advancing Women’s Leadership, Gürsu not only dissects these challenges but offers a powerful, actionable blueprint for change.
Drawing on nearly three decades of experience in leadership development, Gürsu brings a global perspective to the unique pressures women encounter—societal expectations, workplace biases, and the often-unseen barriers that stifle progress. But her message is far from defeatist. Blending inspiration with practical strategies, Empowering Women on the Way to the Top equips women to take charge of their leadership journeys. It’s a call to action for women to own their strengths, build resilience, and navigate inequities with confidence.
The book provides transformative tools to help women:
- Leverage their unique leadership qualities
- Cultivate authenticity and influence
- Build strategic networks and negotiate boldly
- Overcome unconscious biases and workplace inequities

But Gürsu’s vision extends beyond individual empowerment. She challenges organizations and male allies to dismantle outdated leadership models and foster inclusive workplaces. By combining real-world insights with a research-based approach, the book doubles as a movement—one that urges collective action to create lasting, measurable change.
Empowering Women on the Way to the Top isn’t just a guide; it’s a rallying cry. Are you ready to break barriers and redefine leadership? Gürsu’s roadmap is here to light the way.
