When The Closed Heart Opens

Using a quote from our fabulous former First Lady Michelle Obama “You have a right to be exactly who you are” in this book Claudette Crouse embraces who she really is. She reveals her chaotic childhood her struggle with depression and her failed first marriage. She shares the lessons she learned and describes in detail how she overcame challenges and obstacles that affected her as a woman in all aspects of her life: personal social and professional. And she opens up about her encounters with men and why she thinks they bear considerable watching. The insights and knowledge she shares on leadership and corporate savvy which are aspects of corporate success are priceless. Claudette ends her story by hailing the importance of girlfriends; she emphasizes the word “girlfriends” and the power of having faith. “Claudette Crouse is wise and open and sometimes scary honest. Whatever she shares will be worth reading.” — Anne Ashmore-Hudson Ph.D.
