Explore The Book

Never Get Their Coffee is a call to action. It is a challenge for young girls and women to be proud to see themselves as the CEOs of tomorrow, and to stop apologizing for wanting normal things. However, this book isn’t just for women—it’s for anyone who wants to shape the future behavior and thought patterns of men and women. It’s for anyone who recognizes that telling girls and young women to strive to lead provides a societal benefit to all of us, regardless of gender. This book is calling all moms, dads, grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, bosses, and co-workers. It’s a reminder that if we treat everyone as equals and recognize that women can aim high and should be in leadership, we can change the world.
