From the oil patch to the boardroom, Glory Jewitt’s journey is one of breaking barriers, redefining leadership, and reclaiming purpose. Her debut book, In Pursuit of Glory, invites readers to rise above limits, rediscover identity, and lead with heart.
In Pursuit of Glory is more than a memoir—it’s a roadmap for resilience. Glory shares the defining moments that shaped her from small-town beginnings to global influence, revealing what it means to rise, rebuild, and lead through authenticity.
Each chapter weaves together hard-earned wisdom, unfiltered truths, and practical leadership lessons for women ready to step into their own story of impact.
How much I could handle.
How much I could prove.
How much I could achieve before it all came crashing down.
But in the silence that followed my breaking point, I realized,
Power isn’t about control.
It’s about connection.
It’s sacred.
It’s messy and magnificent.
It’s the kind of strength that doesn’t need to shout to be seen.
I wrote In Pursuit of Glory because I wanted women to know:
You don’t have to burn out to burn bright.
You don’t have to play small to stay safe.
You don’t have to choose between success and soul.
The truth is,
You can lead and still be led by grace.
You can rise without losing your softness.
You can rebuild without apology.
This isn’t a book about hustling harder. It’s a book about coming home to your power.
It’s for the woman who’s built a career she’s proud of, but still feels like something deeper is calling her.
It’s not for women waiting for permission.
This is for the woman who’s ready to lead differently.
To trade burnout for balance, pressure for peace,
and perfection for purpose.
It’s for the woman who knows she was made for impact, but refuses to lose herself on the way there.
Because In Pursuit of Glory isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering who you already are.
You’ll discover what happens when you stop performing and start leading from within.
Because success means nothing if it costs your soul.

I didn’t start in the boardroom. I started in the dirt. My career began as a laborer in the Canadian Oil Sands, hauling tools and learning what true resilience looks like. Over the next twenty-five years, I went from hard hats and night shifts to executive leadership in Fortune 10 companies. Today, as the Global Head of Environment, Health & Safety at Google, I carry those early lessons with me—the value of hard work, humility, and never asking someone to do what you wouldn’t do yourself.
At thirty-five, I became a Global Vice President and went on to lead some of the most complex industrial operations in the world, including global projects at Amazon. I’ve learned that leadership isn’t about the corner office or the title, it’s about showing up, doing the work, and staying authentic in every room you walk into. My path wasn’t handed to me. It was built through grit, long days, and a belief that every obstacle can be turned into opportunity.
As a woman who’s built her career in industries where few women stood beside me, I’ve made it my mission to help others rise higher than they imagined. I’ve been honored to be featured in CEO Weekly, Women’s Journal, and The Wall Street Times, and recognized by the Houston Business Journal as a “Women Who Mean Business” honoree. My story isn’t just about climbing the ladder—it’s about proving that where you start doesn’t define where you’ll finish.
In Pursuit of Glory is your invitation to stop striving and start becoming
to redefine success on your own terms,
to lead with both strength and softness,
to rise, rebuild, and remember who you are.
