AGAINST THE ROPES
Against The Ropes
Best Book For Women & Minority Employee Motivation
Against the Ropes is the best self-help book for women and minority employees to become successful leaders in their career & life. It is an inspirational story of Claudia Trejos, a Hispanic woman thriving in the male-dominated world of sports journalism. In this book, she shares how she overcame dyslexia, violence, and gender and racial bias growing up in Colombia, survived as an immigrant who arrived in the U.S. with $700, and pivoted from pursuing a career as a medical doctor to becoming a leading woman in the sports industry as a reporter, analyst and commentator for networks such as ESPN, Showtime, Fox Sports, Telemundo and Univision, among others.
Claudia Trejos shows how female and minority professionals can tap into their personal journey, internal resources and grounding, to become braver leaders through crisis and take their careers to the next level. Her advice grows out of her experiences as one of the first women to cover a boxing match in Saudi Arabia, the first Latina commentator in the NBA’s history, the first female to report on Olympic Boxing, and the first Latina sports journalist to cross over from Spanish to English-language TV.
