"Smart Career Moves for Smart Women is essential reading for women at all stages in their career, and one that they can return to again and again as they encounter or seek new transitions.

Written in a clear, honest and straight-talking style, it offers meaningful insights that will resonate with all working women. Having already made one major career transition with a change of both sectors and roles, a lot of the themes feel personally applicable. I am now finding myself returning to Susan's insights as I embark on motherhood and the inevitable transition this will entail for my career. I will definitely be consulting this book when I contemplate how I want to re-enter working life after maternity leave and how I want to shape my career around my shifting values and needs.

Susan masterfully applies her own expertise and emotional intelligence to sometimes complex situations and gives actionable advice that will give the reader the confidence and clarity of thought to grapple with the essential questions all women need to ask themselves about the outcomes they are seeking and what they are willing and able to change to make these happen. The toolkits and journaling exercises are excellent and will allow readers to engage with the content as actively as they choose and offer great value to return to again and again.

The content is particularly timely and relevant as we adjust to the new 'post-pandemic reality' where women (and men) have realised a level of flexibility and work-life balance that can produce better outcomes for both their productivity and their well-being.

I will certainly be consulting this book often as I navigate new changes and challenges in my career and transitions I wish to make. The valuable insight and advice it provides for women at all stages of their careers and across sectors makes it an unmissable read."
