"I really welcome this timely book. We need to acknowledge that mentoring is not enough. To achieve a genuine shift in organisational behaviours we need women to break through in larger numbers, and faster. This book lays out the evidence as to why championing is a vital part of the process. An essential read for all who share the aim of gender equality in the workplace."

Champions are powerful forces for good. We need more of them.'
