Break the Ceiling Touch the Sky – the success and leadership summit for women® is based on research done for the best-selling book "Break the Ceiling Touch the Sky: success secrets of the world's most inspirational women" by Anthony A. Rose and further leadership insights gathered from interaction with over 7500 women leaders since 2012. This one-day summit consists of action-focused panel discussions, keynotes and a special speed mentoring segment led by C-Suite leaders sharing the latest techniques for success and leadership. Companies can enhance the leadership skills of their women leaders at a fraction of the cost of other expensive training programs; delegates can leverage the day as a way of connecting with top leaders from the world's best organization and network for success. While the content is customized for women, male leaders are welcome. Since 2015 the summit has helped empower and train close to 3000 women leaders for success from close to 200 organizations from 27 countries. The summit currently has editions in Singapore, India, Australia and Dubai and is supported by a host of influential associations and chambers of commerce from across the world.

Rose, Founder Chairman and CEO, House of Rose Professional and best-selling author of the book Break the Ceiling Touch the Sky: success secrets of the world's most inspirational women which inspired the summit, "The 2018 World Edition and the Leonie awards combine the many elements necessary for acceleration of gender diversity at the top – training and learning from the best leaders in business and celebration of the best practices of gender diversity linked to success.
