Vivien Lee has spent her entire consulting career helping CEOs look good, so when she finally has the chance to go after her dream of running a business, she grabs it. A lifelong athlete, Vivien arrives at the smart sports campus in Portland, Oregon, and is introduced as the first female president. It’s one of the highest profile jobs in an industry inhospitable to women. Principled but slightly naïve, Vivien believes her male peers will give her a fair shot. Stumbling early, Vivien makes a series of rookie mistakes.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Closer.
Vivian, the central character, successfully faces a number of challenging situations and it’s rewarding to see the teamwork she inspires, along with the diligence with which she approaches her new job.
I also enjoyed the actress she chose to narrate, as her voice brought to life each of the other characters in this book.
I am looking forward to the next book from this author, Shaz Kahng!

Living legend and lifelong activist Billie Jean King talks about what it takes to stand up and fight for equality, regardless of the circumstances. Fifty years ago, King and eight other female tennis players, known as the Original Nine, bravely put their careers and reputations on the line to fight for equal pay and equal footing for women’s tennis, with the indispensable help of promoter Gladys Heldman, the founder and publisher of World Tennis magazine, and the groundbreaking sponsorship of Joseph Cullman III, the CEO of the Philip Morris Company.

I thoroughly enjoyed all of Billie Jean King‘s messages and advice in this audiobook. She herself has achieved so much and yet she emphasizes the importance of teamwork and relationships with others to her accomplishments.And the soundtrack with Sarah Bareilles’ music was awesome!
