Drop the Ball

the book isn’t just for working mothers trying to figure out how to make it all actually work. It’s for any young, ambitious woman, and the loved ones in her life who want to see her succeed – Lindsey Stanberry * Refinery29 * While Dufu’s book is about a high-achieving woman and probably resonates most with others in the same position, it’s not only for women. It’s for anyone used to being top of the class, to juggling every ball without letting one drop, to being put-together at all times. It’s also for anyone who loves, or who shares a household with, that person. I’ve recommended it to friends, to coworkers, to acquaintances. As far as I’m concerned, there isn’t anyone who shouldn’t read Drop the Ball. – Libby kane * Business insider UK * Simple yet effective and helpful – Lorraine Candy * Sunday Times Magazine * Tiffany is a prominent American feminist and this is a compelling book (…) Dufu believes that in order to lean in at work, women should correspodenly lean back at home * Harper’s Bazaar * Drop the Ball is important, path-breaking, intimate, and brave – Gloria Steinem In sharing her moving personal story, Tiffany Dufu offers many practical suggestions for women to achieve their goals. But what influenced me the most about this book was the wisdom she imparts to men about how to be better partners in supporting the leadership journeys of the women in their lives.
