Mentoring Moments: 14 Remarkable Women Share Breakthroughs to Success, compiled by HR expert and Managing Editor of Enhanced DNA: Develop Nurture Achieve fame, Denola M. Burton, consists of the true stories of how 14 women succeeded in the business world, as well as in their home lives, quite often against the odds. Each tale is told by the woman herself, which makes the anthology a deeply personal account of how to make the most of what you have available to you in your immediate surroundings in the 21st century.

The diversity of the women whose successes and triumphs are celebrated in Mentoring Moments makes this volume a testament to female hardiness and fortitude. Life is never easy, and so often it is the women involved on whom others come to rely. At their best, they are a stalwart force for good in a society that has, all too often in the past, been torn apart by masculine-dominated conflict (which still renders the present untenable for some). Mentoring Moments shows how strong women can inculcate an awareness of the ability that individuals are able to move beyond the present moment of uncertainty and fear to strive for an enhanced future, by making their current limitations a springboard to a more positive tomorrow. Being a spiritual person myself, I especially savored the role that religion was acknowledged to play in many of these women’s lives.

The audiobook of Mentoring Moments is narrated by Aisling Gray, whose versatility as a voice-over artist, who is also involved in e-learning, advertising, and animation work, provides the perfect medium for this book written by women who are arch examples of multitasking and of being able to transition flexibly from one environment to another. The introductions and contextualizing of each woman in turn are vocalized in such a way that it is clear from the start which woman’s input is to follow. The sound quality is also clear and even throughout. In short, a truly inspiring audio experience!
