‘By making use of thorough research, concrete suggestions and interesting personal anecdotes, Hira provides an effective and much needed blueprint for women across the globe to prosper and reach the top.’
Marshall Goldsmith, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Triggers, MOJO and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There
‘Hira Ali, an enthusiastic champion of gender equality in the workplace, brings a personal and much welcome international perspective to the challenges facing women seeking to make it to the top in their professional lives. Drawing on her own journey and that of scores of other women around the world, she plots a course for women everywhere to break through the glass ceiling and thrive. Her passion for helping other women overcome internal and external barriers to the top rings loudly throughout.’
Valerie Young, author of The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women
‘Good research, great illustrative anecdotes, and tangible suggestions for overcoming your stickiest career challenges, make this book a joy to read! Ali manages to convey a depth of understanding of the issues in a way that every woman can learn from and no woman should miss. Her refreshing approach is applicable to women from Anchorage to Zurich and everywhere in between.’
Lois P. Frankel, Ph.D., author of Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office
‘I loved reading Her Way to the Top because what Hira describes as her own struggle and the struggle of the women she interviewed speaks to me, like it will to all other women. This is what Hira cleverly explores, the many facets that block us from reaching the top so that we can build a new awareness and arm ourselves to move up in the future. In today’s world it is important to know that we are not alone and that we are not the only ones facing this. The thorough choice of topics is incredibly pertinent and universal for women in the business world. I also loved how the practical coping strategies can be implemented right away into my life. The book is well worth reading and exploring for all women who want to rise to the places they deserve.’
Chiara Condi, activist and entrepreneur, founder of Led By HER
‘The book is well written and full of interesting, helpful, personal experiences and facts.’
Carole Stone, CBE, campaigner, broadcaster and author of Networking: The Art of Making Friends
'Women careerists need every opportunity to learn new and innovative ways to tackle the roadblocks to the top. Hira Ali’s, Her Way To The Top comes from a different viewpoint and provides just that. A real thought leader, she tackles head-on the ongoing challenges women regularly face on their way to the top and provides detailed answers to each hurdle. Her Way To The Top is a book that all serious career women should read at least once and then pass it on to someone she knows who is travelling the same path.'
Dr. Yvonne Thompson CBE, bestselling author of 7 Traits Of Highly Successful Women On Boards - View From The Top and How To Get There
'I found chapter 2 on FOMO particularly interesting. Referring to the book, she says that the use of personal experiences of women is consistent throughout and makes the chapters relatable'
Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu; Lawyer, Activist, Speaker, Author, Founder Women in Leadership Publication and co-organizer of Women’s March London,
'It’s a great book full of down to earth and useable advice to help women thrive at work!'
Cherie Blair, UK's former first lady, barrister, lecturer and writer,
'Let me call this book a wonderful leadership/ Career guide for women and girls all over the world. Hira Ali has given an authentic account of her own experiences and variety of interviews from the women in the workforce. She honestly highlights external barriers that women come across during their professional careers. But the prime focus & purpose of her book is to educate and encourage women to identify and accept their internal hurdles that stop them from reaching the top rung of success ladder. She inspires them to overcome those internal hurdles within themselves by believing in themselves.'

'I devoured every page of "Her Way To the Top." I loved getting to know the warm, funny, thorough and relatable author Hira Ali while learning valuable insights into the mindsets of high-achieving women (like me), strategies to overcome our internal barriers, and that I am not alone. I wish this book was written when I was starting my professional journey--I would have felt more empowered and fearless and suffered from far less anxiety. This should be required reading for every woman--or rather, every female over the age of 10!

I absolutely love it! So real, so authentic, and opening up an arena for disruption in the UK.
Just when everyone thought Asian countries were backwards, it brings light to factors being overlooked in everyday life. I'm really enjoying your book.
