Author gives women advice for taking charge of career, life

Earlier this year, women across America band together to march for their rights, solidarity and freedom.

Nicole Lapin, best-selling author, former journalist and businesswoman, said it's time for women to lead by example and take charge of their own lives, and their careers.

In her new book, "Boss B****: A Simple 12-Step Plan to Take Charge of Your Career," Lapin shows readers how, drawing on lessons from both the ultimate fails and hard-earned successes from women rockstars across the country. Lapin advocates women taking charge of her own future and to embrace being a boss in all aspects of the word: whether as the boss of her own life and career, the literal boss at work, or as the boss of her own company.

Lapin will participate in a panel sponsored by the National Association of Women Business Owners.
