“Breaking Ice and Breaking Glass is a barrier-breaking book by a barrier-breaking leader. Admiral Sandra Stosz writes with brilliant clarity, revealing transparency, and absolute integrity about her experiences in navigating uncharted waters. The lessons she shares are timeless, yet especially relevant at this moment in history. Admiral Stosz is a role model for all leaders and living proof of the power of grace, skill, character, and determination. From the opening story to the closing one, this is a book about adhering to core values and how that simple principle is what earns you respect, rank, and reputation. Her moving stories and experience-based tips make this book practical, but it’s her honesty and transparency that make Breaking Ice and Breaking Glass a must-read. This book, and its author, will restore your trust and faith in the capacity of leaders to put others before self and the greater good before personal gain.”
