Yet despite centuries of progress, true equality remains out of reach. What will it take to bring us to a tipping point?

A mix of inspiration, spirituality, and business strategy, Claudia provides a practical plan for how to channel your life purpose and create a more equal world for women and men." --- Sallie Krawcheck, CEO and cofounder of Ellevest, chair of Ellevate Network, and author of Own It "Equality is essential to the future success of humanity; it is not something to be feared or threatened by, but rather a standard to empower us all to live life to the fullest. Claudia Chan has been one of the most dedicated and inspiring voices calling on all people to work together for this basic human right." --- Nigel Barker, photographer, filmmaker, and New York Times bestselling author "This Is How We Rise challenges the core of the 'me' mentality and proposes a 'we' movement. In football, we say football, family, and faith to promote success by playing for something bigger than the individual. Claudia masterfully crafts this philosophy into a strategy for empowering women and kickstarting movements. Together, we can all rise. For the love of progress, read this book today." --- Dr. Jen Welter, first female coach in the NFL "As women move into the leadership realm in every aspect of life and work, it becomes more and more critical that we ask ourselves questions like: Power for what purpose? Leadership for what kind of future? These are the questions that Claudia Chan asks--and answers--in her important book, This Is How We Rise. Her ideas and tools about moving from a 'me over we' mindset to a 'me for we' way of living and leading are critical for our times." --- Elizabeth Lesser, cofounder of Omega Insti
