Verity Credit Union Chief Marketing Officer Shari Storm has taken multitasking to a whole new level. In addition to working full-time at the $380 million credit union, Storm, a wife, mother of three girls ages 6, 4 and 2, and a popular blogger, landed a book deal with a big publishing house in New York resulting in her penning her first book, Motherhood Is the New MBA.

A young author contest winner in grade school, Storm dreamed of being a writer, but in college, she couldn't figure out the practical business side of how to make money, so she tucked her dream away. A few years later after having children, inspired by her husband quitting his job to live his dream of working in the film industry, Storm discovered just what story she wanted to tell.

"When I had my kids I found it to be motivating helping me be a more creative, more energetic problem solver, but the books out there for working moms were about how hard the work-life balance was or the wage gap or how to deal with post-partum," Storm said. "There was nothing about what I was experiencing and what a powerful management training program parenthood can be. Once the idea solidified I saw parallels everywhere."
