Marianne Broadbent is a leadership and executive search consultant who works every day with women and men making career decisions and life choices. She provides sharp and informed insights, through her work with organisations and teams, to build and sustain great talent. She shares her personal experiences of taking career risks, making multiple choices and managing a 'blended life' in our new modern paradigm where careers aren't as linear as they once were. She complements this with the thoughts and words of 20 executives who willingly provide their personal and career perspectives on their own trade-offs and 'getting on with it'.

The Agile Executive should be compulsory reading for all women (and men too!) who aspire to succeed in corporate life. - Elizabeth Proust, AO Chairman, Bank of Melbourne

It takes both courage and generosity of spirit to use yourself as a case study for others' learning. Above all this is a very generous book. And like the author chock full of memorable advice. - Diane Smith-Gander, Non-executive director and past president of Chief Executive Women (CEW)

Relevant and empowering, The Agile Executive offers exactly what's needed to adapt to and lead change in our disruptive age. Priceless wisdom from a highly successful leader who has been there. - Stephen M.R. Covey, The New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Speed of Trust

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, generous and common sense advice
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2019
Highly recommend. An entertaining and informative look at how to, and more importantly how NOT to make decisions about your career planning and your career choices. Marianne uses her own sometimes whacky experiences to explain the techniques she's observed in her executive search career, which overcome the glass ceiling phenomena. It's a must read for women in leadership and a bible on how important building trust is, in your quest to achieve your career success.

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2019
Highly recommend this book. The author obviously has years of experience coaching and helping professional women succeed in a world where integrating work and family life is still not easy. The book contains lots of examples and tips on how to do so. Great read!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read with valuable insight
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2019
A great read for all women searching for a successful "blended life" rather than the mythical work-life balance! Marianne provides great insights and tips that resonate and hopefully give us all pause for reflection. Highly recommend it.
