How is your book helping others?

This book helps professional women feel seen, get unstuck, and courageously move into action. It helps them recognize how they might be holding themselves back with sky-high expectations and ingrained learned messages that no longer serve them, creating a distorted reflection that makes them think they aren't worthy or ready to take the risk whether that is to raise their hand or go for the next promotion. Through stories, research, and prompts, they build self-awareness and begin to take small steps. Readers learn the perils of the five success strategies (preparing to perfection, eagerly pleasing, fitting the mold, working pedal to the metal, and performing patiently awaiting to be noticed) and learn how they can drive performance, get sidelined with potential pitfalls personally or perceptually, and how to pivot into new actions. Readers learn to ask for help, set boundaries, show up more authentically, and ask for what they want. They build courage, community, and confidence.
