Tread Loudly

Tread Loudly is an empowering book that every young woman attorney (or aspiring attorney) needs on her shelf. Bursting with practical, actionable strategies and invaluable insights infused with real-life experience and humor, this must-read will empower you to tackle the unique challenges faced by women in the legal profession with confidence.

Kristine Cherek’s Tread Loudly shows that despite inroads, corporate America has a lot of work to do to address gender inequality. A must-read for professionals, this book shines a light on the headwinds women face in their careers and challenges readers to push out of their comfort zone to find the boldness within to claim their professional dreams.

Kristine Cherek’s book gives an authentic and beautifully messy view into the worklife for many women, encouraging them to embrace this messiness and not run from it. As an organizational psychologist studying women’s untold stories at work, I found Kristine’s book provided so many useful rallying cries for women as they carve out their ideal sense of self at work, and it’s a valuable resource for men who are looking for ways to break down the barriers that continue to exist.

I love women who aren’t afraid to stand up to the status quo and demand change for women. Kristine Cherek is exactly that kind of woman. Her book is the kind of thing young women need as a roadmap in navigating the male-dominated workforce.

Tread Loudly is a candid account of Kristine Cherek’s experiences in corporate America and her efforts to succeed personally and professionally. Both humorous and sobering, this book is a welcome and useful collection of career advice for upcoming generations of women entering the workplace.

In Tread Loudly, author Kristine Cherek uses her own experiences in the legal field as the basis to give readers a down-to-earth pep talk about what they must do to achieve career success. Focusing on the many subtle (and some not-so-subtle) challenges in the workplace, she provides tips for how you can manage them with confidence and the knowledge that you are certainly not alone.

If you want real, practical advice for building a successful career in any business without sacrificing who you are and what makes you unique, this book is for you. In a compelling series of personal stories and pop-culture references, Kristine outlines the complicated dynamics that contribute to inequality in the workplace, how it leads to a lack of women in senior leadership, and calls on corporate America to finally make the changes necessary to improve the retention and promotion of women.

A big thank you to Kristine Cherek for writing Tread Loudly, which offers superb real-world advice for women starting their careers. Kristine is a wonderful storyteller. Rather than saying ‘Take the risk!’ she shows how it’s done. Tread Loudly is wise, warm, full of insights, and a lot of fun to read. Highly recommended!
