In her book, The Naked Truth: A Working Woman's Manifesto about Business and What Really Matters" she fuses her own experience with that of hundreds of interviewees to identify the biggest challenges and best solutions that women encounter today. From VPs of Fortune 100 companies to entrepreneurs to women just starting their careers, she traces the patterns and themes underlying women's power, choices, love, sex and money.



Mary Lou QuinlanMary Lou Quinlan, after a 23 year career that spanned from not-for-profit to Fortune 500 corporate leadership to CEO of a major advertising agency, finally called a halt to her successful, but out of control life. “Time Off for Good Behavior, How Hardworking Women Can Take a Break and Change Their Lives” traces her own story as well as that of 40 other ‘type A good girls’ from across the country who paid the price of overworking and under-living. Mary Lou’s advice is helping millions of women watch for their moments of truth so they regain lives filled with passion, perspective and purpose to be both successful AND happy.
