NASHUA, NH--(Marketwired - Apr 22, 2015) - Debora McLaughlin, CEO of The Renegade Leader Coaching and Consulting Group (www.TheRenegadeLeader.com), and author of "Running in High Heels: How to Lead with Influence, Impact & Ingenuity," says when women take initiative in business, everyone benefits.

"Sometimes the best man for the job... isn't," says McLaughlin, a business coach.

"There's never been a better time to be a woman in the business world," she says. "But just because you're on the rungs of leadership doesn't mean you have to be one of the boys. It is time for more real, transparent, collaborative examples of leadership that lead to innovative, profitable and exciting business results. That is the female leadership advantage."

The leadership paradigm is changing, and companies are hungry for smart, passionate women who embrace their unique female leadership advantage and lead them into the future. Packed with practical advice and stories from top female CEOs, the book "Running in High Heels" will show you how to tap into your female DNA, embrace your inner renegade, climb to the top of the ladder -- and avoid breaking a heel along the way.

ICF Certified Executive Coach Debora McLaughlin works with executives, CEO's, and business owners to tap into their inner Renegade Leader, create high-performing cultures, increase profits, and gain market presence. Now, she's helping women leaders elevate their stature in a fun and practical book designed to give you the right shoes to pave the road ahead.

"In today's increasingly complex world of work, we need the leadership attributes and Change Intelligence that women possess in order to find powerful solutions to the challenges we face…" says Amazon reviewer Barbara A. Trautlein, Ph.D., who gave "Running in High Heels" five stars.
