Book Review: From the author's mouth
Summary: 5 Stars
I know, I know - of course I'm going to rate my own book 5 stars! If you have ever thought about and talked about something that you have wanted to do for a very long time, then dedicated a whole heap of time to doing it...I am sure you will agree with me that, when it finally is done the excitement and pride one feels is out of this world! I own and operate a multi-award winning career development and training company. Our focus is working with individuals, teams, and businesses to build performanace, improve productivity, and achieve success. So this book has been a fabulous method to channel everything I want to share with everyone.
Why the connection to the Wizard of Oz? Well to me it made absolute sense...think about it...Dorothy was told to stick to the path and that when she got to Oz he would be able to send her home to Kansas. But all he turned out to be was a short bald fraud who had no idea what he was talking about. It was only when she forged her own path that Dorothy found her way home to Kansas. Just as we are so often told to follow the straight and narrow path to achieve success, but then so many of us get there and it's not what we expected or that we don't even feel successful at all.
Forget the Yellow Brick Road is a career fairy tale with a moral in every chapter and a lesson and message for everyone that reads it.

Summary of Forget the Yellow Brick Road
In Forget the Yellow Brick Road, Liz Green pulls from the story of The Wizard of Oz and the spirited Dorothy on her trek to Oz to remind us that the road to success can take us in many unique and exciting directions. Even more compelling is the message that there is no single path, despite what women are often taught, and those who take risks and acknowledge each step forward as a success will benefit from the journey. Written in a tone both playful and serious, women will resonate with the messages and find purpose and reason in the choices Dorothy makes throughout her career. From understanding success to finding the courage to accept change, moving forward as an individual and sometimes eschewing the traditional, she reminds us at every turn that this journey of discovery is more than a metaphor for living; it is the focal point of a fulfilling, joyful, and purposeful life.Success Books
