LID will publish an important new business book by Monica McCoy in February of 2024. Entitled TILT: Strategies that shift the odds for women at work, the book presents insights from significant scholarly research and provides strategies for how women can improve their chances of overcoming workplace challenges. It is a candid and personal playbook that ambitious, talented women can turn to for actionable insights on all things professional, with special attention paid to the unique challenges faced by women of colour.

As Monica McCoy comments: “The aim of this book is to shift the odds for women at work. It gets tough facts out in the open so that women know what they are up against. It will equip them with support and strategies to navigate up, over and around professional barriers to accelerate their success.”

As a woman of colour with both a successful corporate career, and today as the founder of a successful business working with top global companies, the author provides tangible and relatable insights to help women deal with real-world challenges to professional advancement. Monica offers deep hope that progress is possible and, at least to some degree, within your control.”
