“Women need recognition in a man’s world where they have been historically second fiddle. Organisations and men should change. But Sailaja argues that women too should reflect and deploy their inner strengths. She is so right and accurate.”

“Corporate India lacks women in leadership roles. Women are falling behind at every level, especially just outside the gilded doors of the C-suite. Step Up allows women to challenge the unique barriers to their advancement and explores their leadership potential through a distinctive inside-out approach.”

“Step Up draws its ‘pulsating with life, change-maker, easy to identify with’ trademark from the lived realities of its author –- a practising psychotherapist –, and her coachees, brought alive through personal narratives, soul- searching tools. The book grasps you…, a must-read for anyone seeking to make a difference, anywhere, at any scale.”
