About this item

One of America's few female astronauts reveals the wisdom that helped her overcome the barriers of others' expectations - and learn to work on a team both in close quarters and remotely. In 2010, the day after her fiftieth birthday - and despite having faced feedback for years that she was not astronaut material - Cady Coleman boarded a rocket and blasted off into space for her third NASA mission, the only woman on her six-person crew. She may have been an "unexpected" astronaut, but her determination and her experiences give her a unique perspective on life here on Earth. . In Sharing Space, Cady shares counterintuitive insights integral to her success, such as how to leverage insecurities to beat expectations, how to know when to adapt and when to press for change, and how to be the glue that holds a disparate team together.
