Tuesday, March 11, 11:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. EST / 17:00 - 17:30 CET

Join co-authors and McKinsey senior partners Kweilin Ellingrud, Lareina Yee, and María del Mar Martínez for a preview of the book, drawing from a decade of McKinsey research, conversations with more than 50 inspiring women and their own experiences.
