What is this book about?
This book contains a practical tool kit that will help potential women leaders reach higher levels. Helene Lerner has spoken and consulted at hundreds of companies where women struggle with confidence and the impostor syndrome–ironically, the more qualified women are, the more hesitant they are to take risky assignments. The chapters are organized around myths and truths that can either support or deter women from stepping up. Interspersed among the pages are Confidence Sparks, reflective exercises, and Power Tips to propel readers forward. While Lerner’s book is built upon years of experience as a coach and mentor, her goal is to inspire and persuade women to make courageous moves, not to give statistics and research on inequality. The operative word is “NOW.” Men are not waiting to step up and speak up, so women can’t afford to wait for their turn.
