In Full Circle, Erin Callan Montella
traces her experiences as a young girl in Queens, New York to the
highest-ranking woman on Wall Street during the financial crisis as chief
financial officer of Lehman Brothers in 2008. Erin recounts her path of
achievement starting as a promising young student and athlete and, ultimately,
how she allowed her career and its demands to become the center of her life.
She sacrificed all other priorities and relationships along the way, throwing
work-life balance to the wind. The story reveals the subtleties of the everyday
decisions that led collectively to a work-centric existence over a twenty-year
career.
Set against the backdrop of the dramatic circumstances at Lehman Brothers in 2008, Erin discloses her own struggle as events spiraled out of control. Ultimately, her resignation from her executive role prior to the Lehman bankruptcy resulted in a devastating personal crisis as her career crumbled revealing no foundation beneath it. We learn of the journey back to change her life with a semblance of present day peace and happiness. Full Circle provides a unique inside and emotional perspective of the sacrifices Erin made to achieve extreme career success and the self-awareness required to return to being the fundamentally grounded person she was as a child.
