“Boss in Heels means a few things to me. When people hear the term 'Boss' oftentimes they think of a stoic male figure. To me, 'Boss in Heels' is representative of being you and for me that means celebrating that I am a woman while still commanding respect and delivering results in the workplace. 'Boss in Heels' is about treating employees, partners and clients well and having a vested interest in their success. 'Boss in Heels' is a more modern way of leading." - Heather Monahan
