Breaking Barriers and Building Wealth for Women

About this book

Discover how to boost your earnings so you can close the million-dollar pay gap

Did you know that over a lifetime, the gender pay gap can cost women over one million dollars? In Earning Power, you'll find the knowledge, strategies and confidence you need to make work and life decisions that maximise your personal earning potential. Most of us assume the pay gap is not an issue in our industry or workplace—or we think it only matters when it comes to negotiating salary. But from your super contributions to maternity leave, what you do with your pay can have a compounding and lifelong effect on your finances. Everyday workplace decisions like simply putting up your hand in a meeting can have a crucial impact on your long-term financial goals.

Earning Power reveals the mindset and the tools that will help you bridge the gap and take control of your financial future. It features interviews with real women on the career challenges and choices they've faced, with stories and advice from Nagi Maehashi of RecipeTin Eats, kikki.K founder Kristina Karlsson, journalist and presenter Leila McKinnon, pioneering burns surgeon Professor Fiona Woods, and more.

Uncover the data and insights that show where and how women fall behind in their earnings—and learn to identify opportunities for boosting your worth.

  • Discover the million-dollar formula that will guide your decision-making.
  • Read powerful, inspirational stories from women who have struggled with stereotypes, bias, setbacks, anxiety and imposter syndrome.
  • Get crucial tips and immediate, actionable advice for the critical crossroads in your career.
  • Foster your growth and purpose—and cultivate the confidence and resilience you need for success.
  • Align your earnings goals with life's milestones and its curveballs.


It's time to find financial equity and close the gap. With Earning Power, you'll discover the simple, small steps and key decisions that can make a million dollars' worth of difference.

"Roxanne is a true leader in helping women be the very best they can be. This is an essential guide to the everyday actions critical for boosting your worth professionally and financially."
—Helen McCabe, Founder, Future Women
