What is this book about?
The rule-smashing guide for motivated working women who want to stop trying to follow someone else’s rules and start taking charge of their own success
You leaned in like a palm tree in a hurricane. You cracked the confidence code. You’re determined not to be a nice girl, but a #GirlBoss. You’ve learned you can’t have it all, but you still try anyway. You know all of this. You’ve read the books, downloaded the apps, vision boarded and journaled your way to oblivion and back. So why are you stuck in your career?
Unlike other books, which seem to focus on fixing you, Kick Some Glass is based on the premise that you are the expert on you―so who better to uncover what you really want, what your definition of success is, what your values are, and what your goals are than YOU?
This invaluable guide will help you do the deep inner work you need to create lasting, meaningful, personal, and professional change. You’ll get beneath the surface to understand the mental models that manifest in self-sabotaging behaviors, missed opportunities, and fear. You’ll reveal the values that will help you truly understand the tough choices and trade-offs you make daily. You’ll learn how to tap into the powerful networks you need to provide support and hold you accountable to help you reach your goals. You’ll learn realistic, doable, long-range solutions that will give you the power to take charge and move ahead.
This book will help you uncover who you truly are to approach your professional life in ways that are authentic and most meaningful to you―and no one else. After all, only you hold the answers. It’s time to Kick Some Glass.
