"Become the Fire" Foreword by Mary Dillon, Former CEO of Ulta Beauty, Plus the Stories of 10 Other Inspiring Leaders by Elisa Schmitz

Mary Dillon has always been a role model for me. A self-made success story, Mary worked her way through college then rose through the ranks at Quaker and McDonald’s before landing the CEO job at UScellular. As CEO of Ulta Beauty, she catapulted its growth while building a culture of respect and diversity. Mary’s leadership has served as constant inspiration to me along my journey.
I’m honored that Mary wrote the foreword to my new book, Become the Fire: Transform Life’s Chaos into Business and Personal Success. In the book, Mary shares some reflections on women in business as well as a bit of her own journey, to encourage women from all walks of life to achieve their own success.
As Mary shares: “Become the Fire curates the best advice from some of the world’s top female leaders. Whether you’re just starting your career, are trying to advance, or are an established leader seeking to improve, Become the Fire will inspire you.”
