The raw insights, no nonsense Practices and wisdom come from Ellen Castro’s challenging personal experiences. Ellen, an MBA Latina trailblazer, scrambled up the corporate ladder with 6 promotions in 11 years amidst the racial slurs, groping and daily harassment in the good ole’ boy Exxon in the 1970-1980s. Being a punching bag left her feeling bruised and battered with no hope. In 1985, she found herself on suicide watch in a psycho ward. Instead of shattering the glass ceiling; the glass ceiling shattered Ellen. Her demoralizing defeat became her purpose and her miracle. She is determined to help others not lose hope and have faith in their potential and greatness. She has spent decades decoding the unwritten ground rules and creating game changing plays she shares with multitudes on how to be wildly successful and fulfilled in any world.

Book Excerpts

“Introspection is the breakfast for champions. Go within and sit quietly. Listen. Observe and explore your beliefs, thoughts and your past. A belief is only a thought you keep repeating. Don’t believe everything you think.”

“Interview for giggles. Men, in general, when applying for positions, do not ask themselves, ‘What if I don’t meet all the qualifications?’ They apply. Women tend to feel they need to meet all the requirements. Apply like a man.”

“Every tackle is temporary. Only you can make the tackle a permanent injury.”

“Trust is genderless. Trust is a noun and a verb.”
