Uncommon common sense - plus inspiration

If only common sense were actually common! Tarah gives good advice around inspiring stories that make it memorable and intuitive. But of course, I'm biased. I wrote the foreword. Honored to have done so!

Fantastic book for women and men in tech

This book contained some great advice for those starting out and further along in their tech careers. Some great stories from ladies who've shared their experiences and an author who knows her stuff. As someone who's been in the tech industry over 15 years now I found a lot of useful and inspiring information.
