CBD Marketing Celebrates 30 Years with New E-Book

As part of its 30th anniversary celebration, women-owned agency CBD Marketing (CBD) has released its newest Words of Wisdom from Kick-Ass Women e-book. The book honors highly accomplished women across a diverse spectrum—from business, law, education and journalism to dance, animal welfare and the ministry.

It’s the third e-book in the Kick-Ass Women series, which began with an award-winning 2013 volume offering motivational quotes from nationally-recognized female leaders. A second volume was published in 2014. A specialty volume followed in 2016 that was dedicated to women leaders in the food industry.

Like its predecessors, the new Words of Wisdom from Kick-Ass Women, Vol. III is free and available for online sharing at http://www.cbdmarketing.com/kick-ass-women-book/vol3. It features original art and design from CBD’s internationally acclaimed creative team.

The 30 women honored are trail-blazers of note who have pushed harder in order to rise higher as leaders. As a way to mentor and empower younger women, they were asked to share how their position facilitates their passion. Their “words of wisdom” are collected as an anthology of insights, professional mantras and valuable lessons learned.

CBD’s Co-CEOs Lori Colman and Liz Brohan noted that all the Words of Wisdom from Kick-Ass Women books celebrate dynamic female leadership.

“The insights shared in this new edition validate the idea that passing on what we’ve learned to a younger generation is central to a woman’s journey as a leader,” said Colman.

“Paying it forward is so important,” added Brohan. “Every woman—regardless of her profession—needs mentors and people in her corner. CBD’s ‘Words of Wisdom’ series is our way of sharing some of these foundational insights and inspirations.”
