LEADING GRACEFULLY
A Woman’s Guide to Confident, Authentic and Effective Leadership
Leading Gracefully offers a new roadmap for women who want to lead differently than the status-quo.
One of the best “how to” career coaching books written for women who want to build self-confidence, be authentic and become a more effective leader. Following the success of Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg and Daring to Lead by Brené Brown, this book is a a step-by-step guide to help women get a seat at the table and keep it.
Since women entered the workplace, they have often made the assumption that in order to get ahead, they must behave like men to be taken seriously, to get ahead, and to lead. Leading Gracefully shows how women can instead bring their unique strengths to the table – qualities like vulnerability, humility, collaboration and compassion which are essential to leading in today’s highly complex and volatile world.
Leading Gracefully is a self-coaching guide that is designed to help you rediscover your strengths, identifies the gaps in your leadership style, and introduces the Feminine Leadership Model to help you develop the skill set necessary to thrive in the modern workplace. An insightful and step-by-step guide to helping you step into your leadership more fully and to discover what authentic and effective leadership can really look like.
In Leading Gracefully, you will learn how to:
